Weighted blanket

  • Occupational therapists view weighted blankets as part of a broader sensory integration or environmental strategy rather than a standalone cure for ADHD or sleep disorders. Research reference is here. It is recommended that if you would like to know more about the benefits for your child - please speak with an Occupational Therapist or your Doctor.
  • Retrospective and qualitative studies (including UK and European research) show high user satisfaction. Parents and occupational therapists frequently report that children with ADHD experience improved emotional regulation, reduced restlessness at bedtime, and a greater sense of safety. However, researchers note that better adherence to sleep hygiene routines may also play a major role in these perceived improvements. Research reference is here .
  • Research suggests that the deep pressure stimulation provided by weighted blankets can help lower physical arousal and reduce anxiety symptoms, which indirectly helps individuals feel calmer and transition better into daily routines or bedtime. Research reference here .
  • Users of any age do report that their use of a weighted blanket does help by providing a gentle pressure on the muscles this gives a = 'I have you securely - feeling'.
  • I feel that this particular blanket would provide a benefit to teenagers and adults - at home, on holiday, (Bit too heavy for a flight but ok for general travelling i.e. in a car ).   
  • Users will feel the weight of this lovely, soft blanket -  may help with concentration (calming stimming legs - perhaps), which usually provides a comforting 'I have you securely feeling'.

Toggle points around the blanket - when a drawcord is threaded through those points - they are useful for securing the blanket around a person or people on a settee or for fixing as a top cover on a bed (so that it does not easily slip off the bed).
