Comforting Weighted Blanket

As a parent, have you ever struggled with your child getting up multiple times a night and felt like you've tried everything under the sun but nothing is working. Well research has shown that weighted blankets help to naturally calm the body through deep touch pressure. You should try it!

The weight of the blanket helps your child by regulating their nervous system encouraging a calming state (It’s like receiving a hug!). Harkla's kids weighted blankets are great for situations that are often stressful for sensory seekers like the classroom, car rides, or bedtime. 

The soft minky outer fabric design adds a sensory input to support your child's needs. The 2-piece duvet style removable cover makes it easy to remove the top layer to wash & dry at home. This blanket is the perfect addition to your daily routine because it provides just enough weight to help regulate the nervous system but not too much weight that it feels overwhelming. The inner weighted blanket is made of bamboo fabric, flat cotton & tiny glass beads. 

A weighted blanket is not recommended for infants so that best rule of thumb is if your child can independently lift and move the weighted blanket, it's safe for them to use it. The weighted blanket is designed to be 10% of your body weight, plus 1-2 pounds extra if desired. Choosing the best weight is a matter of preference. Some are more comfortable with a blanket that is heavier or lighter than the recommended range.

There are so many ways to utilize a weighted blanket in order to provide your child (or you) with a calm, organized sensory system in all environments.
