WEIGHT
It is individual for each user how heavy should be the blanket. The general rule followed by the therapists is 10% of the bodyweight. However, in some cases it is recommended to stretch it up to 15% or more.
It is also important to take into a consideration several different factors such as:
- joint and bone problems
- respiratory problems
- sensory needs
When you purchase a blanket for a child you should check if he/she:
- finds it comfortable to sleep under heavier duvet
- likes to wrap around very tight
- what patterns and fabrics are more favorable
- what calms your child
- likes to stay cold or warm
SIZE VS WEIGHT
When you purchase the blanket, you should carefully pick the size and weight. If you decide to purchase bigger size but keep the required weight you might find it too light. It might be too heavy and not comfortable enough if you pick smaller size but with required weight.
The blanket should be same size as your duvet. It might be smaller only if you wish to cover part of the body.
If you purchase a blanket for a child and wish to stretch the period of the use, then the blanket should be heavier accordingly to the size. Please email me for an advice with the full details (weight, height, age, sensory needs, preferences and the size you consider).
FABRIC & PATTERNS
There are few things to consider when choosing the fabric. Do you like to stay cool or warm at night? Cotton is more breathable and helps to keep you cooler at night. Minky (plush) fabric is great to keep you warm and it is soft in touch.
Pattern fabrics are combined with minky but should you prefer to mix it with cotton then please contact me. Everything is possible. We can even mix minky with plain cotton.
CAN I SHARE IT?
Weighted therapy blankets meant to be used by one person at the time. We cannot make blanket that can be used by a couple. Sorry!
MAINTAINING
It is advised to hand wash the blanket. It is due to the high risk of damaging the washing machine.
If you decide to use the washing machine, then please be aware you do it at your own risk .
Few advises to lower the risk:
- make sure the weight of the blanket does not exceed the load
- spin it on low
- put the blanket in the zipped bag to reduce the risk of the filling getting in the engine
DELIVERY
It takes approximately 15 working days to deliver your blanket. Should you require it faster then please email me prior to purchasing to see if I can accommodate your needs.
RETURNS
I only accept faulty items. Blanket will be assessed and repaired accordingly to the need. Therefore, please make sure you make a wise decision when purchasing it.
