A weighted blanket for calm-down, rest and night time
The Elizabeth Richards Weighted Blanket and Cover Small, supplier code ERWBS, is a 2.3kg dark grey blanket measuring 100cm wide by 150cm long, supplied with a grey minky cover.
Elizabeth Richards describes the blanket for calm-down time, rest time and night time, with the weight evenly distributed in cotton fabric. The outer is cotton with polyester padding and a glass bead filling. The supplier explains that it uses Deep Touch Pressure Stimulation, or DTPS, and says this contributes to enhanced sleep, mood and relaxation for children and adults.
Elizabeth Richards suggests choosing a blanket of about 10% of the user's body weight, so it lists this 2.3kg size as most effective for children of 25kg or less, while noting that personal preference plays a major part. The supplier also describes it as an adaptive tool for rest time at school, clinic or home.
Care is a cold hand wash only, with no soaking, bleach, ironing, tumble drying or dry cleaning. See more weighted and calming supports, sensory toys, early learning and sensory resources and the Elizabeth Richards range.
