Weighted blankets are used often to help people with sensory processing disorders, autism, dementia, restless legs syndrome, etc. They're also just plain cozy for those of us without any diagnosed conditions, but who appreciate nice heavy blankets.
Our weighted blankets are filled with poly beads. We use relatively small pockets (typically between 4-6 inches) to ensure even distribution of weight. Our blankets feature two full layers of flannel or cotton inside to create a nice pocket for the beads to keep them contained inside the blanket.
This is a size large weighted blanket made with your choice of our available fabrics. You can choose any fabric combination you wish - flannel on one side and coordinating Minkee fleece on the other side is most popular, and flat cotton on both sides is next most popular. However, we can make them from any combination of washable fabrics that you wish. (We've made cotton/minkee, cotton/cotton, flannel/flannel, flannel/cotton, and cotton/regular fleece in the past.)
Please let us know when you check out what you'd like for fabric. You can see our current instock fabric here. - please choose a secondary option, as well, in the event we don't have enough of your first choice. If nothing there trips your fancy, we can also purchase fabric just for you - please message us. (Please be aware that there may be an upcharge depending on what you pick for fabric - we can provide some guidance if you wish to avoid this).
Please note that you can choose two fabrics (one for each side) or you can choose just one fabric (for the front) and we'll choose a coordinating Minkee for the back.
Our blankets are available in four stock sizes. THIS listing is for a size LARGE blanket, approx 72 in x 42 in. (Some fabrics are a bit narrower, and will result in a slightly narrower blanket.)
Other available sizes are Small (41x35), Medium (58x42), and Lap Pad (19x13). See separate listings for these sizes.
How do you decide what weight? If you or your child works with an OT, it's best to ask them for a recommendation. If you don't have an OT available, a general recommendation is 10% of bodyweight plus 1 lb.
*not appropriate for use with children under 1 year of age*
Also, please note, if you're tall, I can make a blanket that's longer for you! Just ask!
We can also make blankets that are wider than 42 inches. Please contact us for details!
Personalization available
We can also add your name or other custom text to your blanket. If you'd like us to personalize your blanket, please fill out the boxes with the EXACT name or phrase you'd like us to add, as well as your chosen font and thread color. Please also let us know what size of the blanket you'd like your personalization.
