Children’s Weighted Blanket – 1.4 kg
What it is
A beautifully soft weighted blanket designed specifically for children, providing gentle, evenly distributed pressure to support calm, comfort, and relaxation.
 
Sensory needs supported
• 🤍 Deep pressure input for calming and regulation
• 🧠 Support for relaxation and sleep routines
• 🌀 Proprioceptive input (body awareness)
 
Why it can be helpful
Weighted blankets provide deep pressure input, similar to the feeling of a comforting hug. This type of sensory input can help the body relax and unwind, supporting emotional regulation and restful sleep.
Proprioception — the body’s awareness of its position in space — plays a role in helping the nervous system settle. Gentle weight across the body can promote feelings of safety, calm, and comfort.
 
Who it may be helpful for
This blanket may be helpful for children who seek deep pressure, enjoy being wrapped tightly in blankets, or benefit from calming sensory input during rest or sleep.

How to choose the right weight
A children’s weighted blanket is typically recommended to be around 10% of the child’s body weight.
Guide:
• 15–20 kg child → 1.4 kg blanket → 91.5 × 122 cm
• 23–32 kg child → 2.3 kg blanket → 96 × 121 cm
• 32 kg + → 3.2 kg blanket → 105 × 154 cm
If your child falls between weights, most experts recommend choosing the lighter option to ensure comfort.
