Weighted Blankets
Sensory Direct's Weighted Blankets support better sleep by providing deep pressure touch stimulation, which helps calm the nervous system and promote relaxation. Children with poor proprioception - especially sensory seekers - often struggle to settle at night and wake frequently. Deep touch pressure can help children feel secure, fall asleep faster, and stay asleep longer.
The effect is similar to swaddling a newborn, where gentle, even distributed pressure creates a sense of comfort and safety. Many children naturally seek this input by asking to be wrapped tightly or for extra covers.
Sensory Direct’s handcrafted Weighted Blankets, produced in Worcester, UK, and supported by our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee, are designed to support a calm, regulated bedtime routine. Carefully engineered with a range of weights, sizes, and high-quality fabrics, they provide consistent deep pressure stimulation to promote optimal 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.
