Weighted Blankets for Kids

Our blankets come with a 100-Night Trial, where you can try them for 100 nights and if your child decides it’s not for them, return it for your money back. They also come with a 1-year warranty that covers any defects: if you find something wrong, we will replace it.

We offer installment payment plans, where you can pay in 4 installments spaced out over 2 months.

Our weighted blankets are made with warming covers, cooling covers, and even Paw Patrol-patterned covers for the wee Paw Patrol lover in your life! The inner weights are removable, soft microfiber inserts that use non-toxic glass microbeads for an even, gentle weight. 

Our Cooling Cover

Our cooling cover is made from viscose bamboo fabric. A big part of what makes viscose bamboo so good is that, as you might suspect: it's made from bamboo. Bamboo is incredibly fast growing, tall, and regrows once cut, meaning it doesn't need to be re-planted once harvested. Both these facts make it a highly renewable resource, and means it doesn't take up as much space as a typical cotton crop might.

It also requires little to no pesticides or fertilizers and uses little water, minimizing negative environmental impact from crops. Common crops like cotton are infamously water-hungry, resulting in the diversion and draining of natural water resources in many countries. They also require more pesticides and other agrochemicals, negatively impacting the environment in and around the crop. Bamboo's ability to thrive with little interference, and its impressive ability to regrow, makes it a very sustainable crop.

'Viscose' refers to the process that makes bamboo into cloth. Cellulose is extracted from the bamboo in chips, and then treated with solvents to break it down into something that can be spun into fiber. The solution used to treat those chips is called a 'viscose' solution.

Our Warming Cover

Our warming cover is made from Minky fabric, a high quality polyester microfiber that’s fully hypoallergenic and incredibly soft. It’s made from the best polyester fibers, creating something softer than fleece and silkier than other synthetics. It’s also long-lasting and low maintenance; it’ll stay soft and plush instead of growing threadbare, and can be put through the wash for a clean. Just make sure to hang dry or dry on low. Helpfully, it also dries quickly and resists stains.

It’s often used with children’s stuffed animals, for the hypoallergenic properties but also the softness and longevity. You may already have felt it as a child with a favourite toy; which is why it’s perfect for a stress-relieving blanket cover. When combined with the gentle weight of our blankets, these covers feel like a teddy bear hug. 

All our covers are easily removable and machine-washable. Simply unzip, put it in a cold wash, and hang dry for best results. And if hang dry isn't an option, no worries: try tumble dry on low heat.

As for the inner weighted insert: it won’t need cleaning as often as the cover, but is still cleanable! We recommend hand-washing, and then hang to dry.

The gentle, even pressure of a weighted blanket mimics a therapeutic technique called Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS). This technique relaxes the nervous system, slowing down breathing, heart rate, and lowering blood pressure. It reduces cortisol (stress hormone 😣) while increasing serotonin (happy hormone 😊) and melatonin (sleepy hormone 😴).

This alleviates anything keeping your child up — whether that’s stress, anxiety, or anything else — and helps them get to sleep, stay asleep, and wake feeling rested. It works for everyone, but is particularly useful for individuals with:

Anxiety

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Autism

Chronic Pain

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)  

Restless Leg Syndrome

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)

Sleep disorders

There are a few ways our weighted blankets are different from most others. We're conscientious with our materials and make, so you get quality as well as options. We do our best to use environmentally friendly and sustainable materials whenever we can, which benefits you as well as the environment, as we make sure to keep our products non-toxic.

The differences are more than surface-level: it goes all the way down to what we use for weights. Many weighted blankets use plastic pellets for their weighted inserts. These are usually overlarge, making for a clunky, uncomfortable, and noisy blanket. Plus, this plastic is usually made with toxic materials. We use glass microbeads for our inner weight; fully non-toxic, so tiny its basically fine, smooth sand, and very quiet.

We also make sure it gets distributed evenly no matter how one tosses and turns by putting it in small, quilted 2-inch pockets. This way the weight can't get shoved all to one side if your child is a particularly restless sleeper. We also sewed a soft inner layer into these pockets, to further dampen any sound and make our blankets perfectly silent.

With more than 100,000 reviews, our weighted blankets are some of the most popular in Canada. Our attention to detail and priority on making a quality product carries over to everything we make, and we think you can feel the difference.
