Bought this for our 6 YO who has anxiety & minor sensory issues. Used to toss & turn all night, with occasional night terrors. Became a sound sleeper in the FIRST NIGHT with his Hush blanket. He loves it so much & looks visibly more rested.

Sleep is amazingly significant for kids, as it serves as a building block for their physical and mental health alike. However, many parents find it extremely difficult to help their children sleep well. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, as many as 25 to 50 percent of kids experience sleep problems.
In order to make it as easy for your little one to fall asleep as possible, you should take care of a few aspects such as sleep hygiene and age-adjusted routines. What's more, it is crucial to provide a kid with a proper place to sleep. Our weighted blanket for children makes it possible to create a cozy, relaxing space, where your little one can peacefully float to the world of dreams.
Read on to find out some of the reasons why is it so important!
When children sleep comfortably under their blankets, they actually work hard on their growth! Namely, at that time, the pituitary gland, located deep inside their brains releases the growth hormone. When there are shortages in it, kids may grow more slowly.
What's more, when there is really little of this hormone, a child may develop facial features making them look younger than their peers. Obviously, if your kid experiences just a few nights of poor-quality sleep, they will not be affected much but chronic difficulties with sleeping well may have a noticeable impact.
Studies indicate that there is a connection between sleeping deficiencies and obesity in kids. Researches have found that there seems to be a "critical window prior to age 5" when it is crucial to get enough quality sleep for a child. It may be because ghrelin and leptin, the hormones involved in controlling appetite cannot be properly released when the human body does not get enough sleep.
It is also likely that those children who are tired are not willing to involve in any significant physical activity. They do not feel well, so they are more likely to try to make their mood better by getting some high-calorie treat than doing sports.
Research shows that there is a strong connection between sleep and immunity - not only in adults but in children alike. It is because while sleeping, the human body produces cytokines, the proteins used to fight illnesses, infection, and stress. In case of their shortages, the immune system may be weakened and a child may be more prone to viruses.
Interestingly, many hospitals in Canada and worldwide are now adapting their policies to help patients get better sleep and heal faster. They provide comfortable sheets and blankets, institute quiet evening hours, and limit nighttime interruptions unless they are really urgent.
We offer high-quality kids' blankets that will help your little one sleep better and, as a result, protect their health better and support their growth. As they are weighted blankets, they provide an incredible level of comfort and make the child feel as if they were gently hugged. It helps them calm down, relax, and fall asleep.
We ship our kids' blankets all across Canada, so just pick the design your little one likes best and place an order. And if you need any assistance, you are always welcome to contact our team!

Life-changing! Diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety, depression, social anxiety, agoraphobia. Life can be exhausting and I slept for 20 hours under this amazing blanket!
The even distribution of weight in our Hush blanket means it feels like a gentle, comforting hug, all night long. Mimicking a therapeutic technique called Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS), this gentle pressure relaxes the nervous system. It reduces cortisol (stress hormone) while increasing serotonin (happy hormone) and melatonin (sleepy hormone). End result: it helps children fall asleep faster, and sleep more deeply and peacefully.

While our patterned cotton covers are highly breathable and evenly regulate body temperature, the Hush Iced Cooling cover actively cools whoever uses it. It’s made with viscose bamboo, an organic material that is naturally cool to the touch and moisture-wicking.The fabric draws away moisture and evaporates it, a process which cools the body the same way sweating does. Plus, its antibacterial properties means it doesn’t absorb moisture or smell.
Since it’s always colder than room temperature it’s always pleasant to touch, helping your child stay asleep instead of waking up due to overheating during the night.
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. Even better, the naturally antibacterial fabric keeps away smells and bacteria, so it stays cleaner longer. Plus, it resists wrinkles, doesn’t pill, and gets softer with each wash.
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.
Our cooling cover is made from viscose bamboo. A big part of what makes this material 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 Classic 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.
The gentle, even pressure of a weighted blanket mimics a therapeutic technique called Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS). This technique relaxes your nervous system, slowing your breathing, heart rate, and lowering your blood pressure. This relaxation alleviates anything keeping you up — whether that’s stress, anxiety, or anything else — and helps you get to sleep, stay asleep, and feel rested when you wake up. 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
Sleep is important for anyone, but especially for kids. It’s an important building block for physical and mental health, and a key part in their growth. It:
Helps kids grow. While kids sleep their pituitary gland releases the growth hormone that helps them grow big and strong, which chronic sleep issues can interfere with.
Keeps kids fit. Poor sleep has also been linked to obesity, either because the hormones that control appetite don’t get properly released in a body without enough sleep, or because a tired child simply doesn’t want to be active.
Boosts immunity. Sleep strengthens the immune system, meaning poor sleep can result in greater vulnerability to illnesses and infection.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, as many as 25 - 50% of kids experience sleep problems. Tackling these sleep issues can be hard, and we want to do our part to make it easier.
There are a few ways our blankets are different from other weighted blankets. First, we've got the highest range of size, weights, and cover options in all of Canada. 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 make our products non-toxic.
Many weighted blankets use plastic pellets for their weighted inserts. These are usually overlarge, making for a clunky and uncomfortable blanket, noisy, and made with toxic materials. Ours use glass beads; fully non-toxic, so tiny its basically fine, smooth sand, and very quiet.
With more than 100,000 reviews, our blankets are some of the best weighted blankets out there. 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.
