Kids Weighted Blankets

Weighted Blankets – Calming, Comforting & Designed for Better Rest and Sleep for Children Aged 3+

Weighted Blankets can be a powerful sensory support for children aged 3 and above. At Sensory Direct, every children’s Weighted Blanket is handmade in the UK and backed by our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee, giving you confidence in long-lasting quality.

Support for ASD, SPD & Everyday Anxiety

Weighted Blankets are often used to help children with an autism diagnosis (ASD) and sensory processing disorder (SPD). Many families also use them to support children experiencing:
• Stress and anxiety, • Panic or overwhelm, • Meltdowns, • Difficulty winding down or sleeping,
• Calming deep pressure Input.

The gentle weight provides soothing deep pressure that can help children feel grounded and relaxed. Many sensory-seeking children enjoy the comforting pressure—often wrapping themselves in a Weighted Blanket while reading, watching TV, or settling down for sleep.

IMPORTANT: It is recommended that the Weighted Blanket should not exceed 10% of the user's bodyweight. Please use our Weight Guideline for advice on choosing the correct weight for you. We also recommend that you consult with an Occupational Therapist on weight.
