Description
Shnooze Weighted Blanket Single 5.4kg
The single weighted blanket that is perfect for kids or single adult use. The single size is 122 cm x 198 cm which fits snuggly around your body, embracing you with a gentle cuddle. Choose from a grey plush soft or white cotton outer, filled with non toxic glass beads (does not include separate cover). The blanket can be used for relaxation, stress relief and better sleep by using the principles of deep pressure.
Weighted blankets are used as part of occupational therapy for Autistic people, stress, ADHD, anxiety, restless legs and other Sensory Disorders and can also be great for older patients in nursing homes too. The therapeutic use of weight and deep pressure to the muscles and joints allows the central nervous system to interpret and integrate proprioceptive and tactile input.
The main reasons for using weighted products are to calm, improve focus and attention, improve body awareness and to decrease sensory seeking behaviours. They have been invaluable in the treatment of people who do not properly process sensory stimuli.
Blankets can be machine washed but we do recommend spot cleaning and airing and only washing as required.
Spot clean with a damp cloth where necessary. DO NOT put in the dryer or the microwave. Please ensure you regularly inspect for any damage to the blanket. Please consult with your therapist before starting any type of weighted therapy. Not suitable for children under three years old. Keep out of their reach. Please note, weighted blanket colour may vary.
