Weighted Lap Blanket

Weight: 2kg

Weighted lap blankets are developed to help children calm and organise themselves with deep pressure sensory input. They make a great addition to a regulation program for children in the classroom or for table top activities at home.They are safe, washable, and proven highly effective in applying deep pressure.

Therapy benefits of weighted lap blankets:

  • Improving body position awareness (knowing where your body is in space)
  • Promoting calming
  • Improving attention and concentration skills
  • Decreasing sensory seeking behaviours
  • Assisting with self-regulation

How are your weighted lap blankets made?

Our weighted lap blankets are carefully hand crafted right here in Melbourne. They are made from corduroy fabric, double-sewn into segmented pouches for maximum flexibility, strength and comfort. Filled with poly pellets (used in dolls and other toys), they are washable and easy to care for.

Are they different to weighted lap pads, or bags?

No, they are all the same thing just different names. These terms are all interchangeable. They all refer to a resource designed to provide weighted deep pressure through the lap when needed. 

Which weight is right for my child?

Occupational Therapists generally recommend selecting a weighed product that is no more than 5-10% of a child's body weight. So for example, if your child weighs 10 kg, the 1kg would be the most suitable option for them.

      "Great"

      GREAT GROUNDING TOOL

      "I love my weighted lap blanket. It is the first time i have ever used a weighted blanket and it is the perfect size for me. The only thing I want to do is get a removeable cover made for it, as my dog hair will get all over it if I don't. Otherwise, it is perfect for my needs. It makes me feel safe and grounded and helps me to regulate myself."

      Great products with efficient deliveryb

      "I recently purchased a weighted lap blanket and a set of noise reducing headphones for my son to use at school. The products were delivered in a timely fashion and were of a great quality. The weighted blanket is made of a super soft fabric with 4 section that stop the beads from moving around and bunching at one end. The noise reducing headphones were a hit with my Son, he hasn't had them off - even wanted to wear them to bed. 100% recommend these products and the company."
