Weighted Blanket - Single bed size (blue on blue)

Weight: 2kg

Weighted blankets have been found to help some restless people relax, settle and sleep more easily. Weighted Blankets provide deep pressure all over the body and can be very calming. When used correctly they can be a powerful addition to anyone's sensory tool box.

These blue weighted blankets are approximately single bed sized (1 m x 1.5 m) and made from plain fabrics (dark blue on light blue). Single bed blankets are best suited to older children and adolescents. Blankets are filled with Poly Pellets and so are washable. All of our blankets are hand made locally in Melbourne.

Alternative fabric / colours / patterns and sizing can also be custom made at your request (please see our custom blanket item).

With the guidance of an Occupational Therapist this resource can be great for people with Sensory Integration Dysfunction, ADHD, Autism and many others. 

The use of weighted objects to apply deep pressure is known to help the user stay focused, alert, calm and organised. It helps to calm an over-aroused sensory system. 

Weighted blankets might be of benefit if one or more of the following is happening for an individual:

  • Difficulties calming to fall asleep
  • Restless moving, kicking, pushing up against you or the walls during sleeping
  • Enjoys to stack all their toys, books, even chairs onto their bed and crawl under it to have the 'weighted' feeling while they rest
  • Enjoys lots of rough and tumble play, pushing and pulling, and loves tight hugs

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.

  ** For NDIS participants, please note that weighted blankets are considered to be Assistive Technology, with a complexity level above 2. In order to purchase a weighted blanket with NDIS funding, you will need to apply to have it included in your plan under the AT budget. The NDIA will decide whether it is approved / included in your plan. For Assistive Technology FAQs you can visit the NDIS page here. **

      Weighted blanket success

      "I was quite skeptical that this would be of any help for our son with ADHD to fall asleep - normally taking him 4 hours, with quite a lot of distress. The first night he was asleep in 2 hours, and by the third night (and every night after) he has settled within 20 minutes. It has changed our evenings so much, we are very thankful!"

      Q&A

      Hi, I have 7.5 years old boy with Autism level 1. He is very skinny with 20kgs. Which weight blanket should I buy? 2.5 kgs or 3.kg?
      Hello and thank you for your question. It is recommended that the blanket weigh 5-10% of a person's body weight, so your son would be best suited to a blanket up to around 2kg (max 2.5kg depending on size). The main thing is to make sure that he can get out from under it / move it easily as it should not be restrictive in any way. Please let us know if you have any other questions - our OT Tarryn is always happy to help : )
