Weighted blanket.
"Very good. Cozy and love it"
$199.00
Weighted Blankets provide deep pressure all over the body and can be very calming. The use of weighted objects to apply deep pressure is known to help with staying focused, alert, calm and organised. It helps to calm an over-aroused sensory system. When used correctly they can be a powerful addition to anyone's sensory tool box.
Double bed blankets are best suited to adolescents, young adults and adults. Blankets are filled with Poly Pellets and so are washable. Weighted blankets have been found to help restless people sleep easier. With the guidance of an Occupational Therapist this resource can be great for people with Sensory Integration Dysfunction, ADHD, Autism and many others.
These weighted blankets are approximately double bed sized (approximately 140 cm x 165cm) and made from plain colours (blue on red). Our weighted blankets are beautifully hand made right here in Melbourne.
Looking for something a little more flashy or a different size? Fabric choice and sizing can be custom made at your request (see our custom blanket item).
Occupational Therapists recommend that blankets be no more than 5 - 10 % of a person's body weight, so please take this into careful consideration when thinking about selecting a blanket. If you need help with this please do not hesitate to contact us.

"Very good. Cozy and love it"
"My kids have been fighting over who uses the blanket..have to purchase another"
"Our questions to your OT were always answered in a timely fashion and were succinct and helpful. We did buy a double bed weighted blanket and have been very happy with the purchase. Thankyou."
"My Aspie daughter absolutely loves her weighted blanket (double bed size on king single) It is of high quality and definitely aids her in getting a better night's sleep. She has also wrapped herself in it recently snuggled on the couch after a particularly stressful day as school and it visibly assisted her in calming. Customer service was excellent with great communication and I would highly recommend My Diffability to others."
"Perfect"
"I tried a weighted blanket through an OT when I was in hospital recently and found it so helpful. She gave me My Diffability's details and I bought the double weighted blanket and it is excellent and very high quality. Thank you so much!!"

"My teenage son has only been using his weighted blanket for a few nights but these are the first nights in a very long time that he hasn't woken between 3 and 4 am unable to get back to sleep due to anxiety. He has slept right through until his alarm goes off at 7 am"
"It is taking a little getting used to but since i have stayed using this with my son he is much calmer and more focused"
