Testimonials

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you! My sons blanket arrived on Monday and so far i have had 4 nights of unbroken sleep. Usually he would sleep from about 9.30pm until about 2.30am and be up until bed the next night, since having his blanket he has slept from 9.30 until 6.30am. I was a bit sceptical at 1st but was willing to try anything to get some sleep and WOW the weighted blanket truly works - its a godsend, even school have noticed a difference in him. Thank you again!

It is Sunday evening and I have had 2 nights of perfect deep sleep. The first in my life. I wake up relaxed and knowing I have had proper deep sleep and been relaxed all night. I used to wake up in pain every morning because my muscles had been taught all night. I have also lost the feeling of agitation I used to have constantly, not caused by anything in particular it has just always been there all my life and no matter what medication they had tried it never went away, however good things were it was always there. One of the first things I noticed on Saturday morning was that it had gone, and hasn’t returned. In the afternoon I have gone back under the blanket, sitting up and getting on with any bits and pieces I had to do or just watching tv, mainly because I found it topped up my muscles relaxing and also I crave the weight pressure on me. I have had a constant pull back to the blanket in the daytime because it makes me feel so relaxed, but because it is so big I can’t carry it around with me and i certainly cant go out wrapped in it! My mum who was highly sceptical about the blanket, couldn’t believe the change in my posture, my calmness etc after just one night. I know I will never be able to sleep or cope without a weighted blanket again, and it feels so good I wouldn’t want to. I know as time goes by things will improve more the longer I use the blanket. I have never felt so lucky and so positive about my life becoming better and better. take care

Hi. Yesterday at The Autism Show you sold me a Blanket and a body warmer(weighted jacket) for my 4yr old son. I wanted to say thank you as he absolutely loves them and slept right through the night in the same position under his blanket and woke up very happy and carried it into the living room so thank you very much.

Our daughter Faye has ADHD and sensory processing difficulties. As a baby she liked to be swaddled very tightly but when she started sleeping in her own bed she would wake up several times each night. She is now 10 so we had 9 years of sleepless nights until we borrowed a weighted blanket from the OT. Within a week she was waking up only once a night and now she usually sleeps right through. We had to give the blanket back but have now brought one from Sensory Direct - we feel like we´ve got our life back!

I recently bought a mini weight blanket from yourselves and it has been the best thing we have ever bought. My son is 2 and autistic and used to wake up at least 3 or 4 times during the night. Since using the weight blanket, he now sleeps solid from 8pm till 6am. Amazing. I really didn´t think that it would work. I´m going to tell other parents who have children with sleep problems about your website. I´m very very happy. Thank you.

I recently bought a weighted blanket from you - with much trepidation, given the cost, but I was very much swayed by your offering a refund if the blanket didn´t work (something your competitors don´t offer). I just wanted to tell you how delighted I am, the blanket has made a remarkable difference to our lives. My son now goes to sleep immediately, rather than stay awake talking for 2-4hours, keeping the rest of the household awake. He loves the blanket and wouldn´t go anywhere without it now, he finds it a tremendous comfort. All this in less than a week. It is one of the best things I have ever bought.

The weighted blanket that we ordered for our son has just arrived, and I am writing to you to let you know how very delighted I am with it! It is beautifully made, and the materials you have used are of exceptional quality.

My son (10) was diagnosed with S.I.D and we were told about the weighted products available. Every night he would get out of bed on numerous occasions not really being able to tell us what was wrong, apart from not being comfortable. Since we have used the (Sensory Direct) blanket, he hardly EVER gets out of bed at night and has said to us that it really helps to calm him down and sleep. So we have a very happy child who has had a good nights sleep.

Received the blanket today and my son LOVED it so thanks! He seemed a lot calmer when he went to bed tonight.

Many parents we worked with have been amazed at the success of the weighted blankets. Many pupils are now sleeping through the night.

Amy Bashford

The pupil the weighted blanket was purchased for has significant behavioural problems. It has helped him significantly and the blanket is now used as a reminder that he needs to calm down.

The first time we used the weighted blanket our little boy settled down much quicker than usual - he enjoyed the weight and snuggly feeling. The second night he slept right through the night for the first time in three years!

The Miracle & Sensory Belts™ are often worn by several of my students for short periods of time to help them calm down and be able to focus on their assigned tasks. Some of the students will go and get the belts themselves when they feel the need for the weight provided by the belt.

I recently used the Miracle Belt™ with one of my 5 year olds for the first time. His ability to stay on task improved so much, compared to other days without using it, and his increased attention continued even after we took the belt off.

Wearing the Miracle Belt was the first time my grandson sat quietly through dinner in 10 years. He asked to take the belt to school because it "holds him down" and he is able to concentrate better.

"With the use of the Miracle Belt I see an immediate response to the children’s ability to stay seated to complete table top activities during therapy sessions."
