Peradix Kids Minky Weighted Blankets: 5lbs 36×48 Inches for Calming Sleep, Soft Toddler Child Comforter with Glass Beads, Breathable & Smoothing, Child Bed Size Review

100% Cotton. 【Why choose a weighted blanket?】 Peradix 7-layered weighted blanket is designed to help kids feel calm, fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. The gentle weight naturally reduces stress and increases relaxation through deep-pressure stimulation to give kids feelings of security and comfort. The good thing about using a heavy blanket to help with a child's anxiety is that it's a simple, non-invasive method you can try at home that doesn't require a trip to the doctor. 【How do heavy blankets work?】Heavy blankets are exactly what they sound like-blankets that are intentionally made to be heavier than your average blanket, it places evenly distributed weight, the positive effects are similar to being held or hugged. 【Premium Material】Peradix heavy blanket is made of thick but Breathable smoothing cotton on one side and super-soft minky dot fabric on the other, filled with glass beads. It is easy to wash and durable over time (which is a big plus if they're going to stand up to kid-level use). 【How to choose a correct heavy blanket?】Heavy blankets come in a variety of sizes, and it's important to pick the right size for your child. As a general rule of thumb, the correct heavy blanket will be about 10% of the child's body weight, so for your 30-50 pound toddler, you would want a 3 to 5 pounds blanket. For your 70-90pound teenager, you'd want a 7 to 10 pounds blanket. You can also judge whether to go slightly heavier or lighter based on your individual child. 【Use & Maintainence】Our child's weighted blanket is not machine washable, it is suggested that you hand wash it with cool water or dry wash. Ensure the user can safely lift the blanket. If it rips or starts leaking, dispose of it immediately. Do not ingest the beads.
