Weighted Blankets for Kids

Shop Weighted Blankets for Kids at the Sensory Store
Who doesn’t love the snug feeling of being wrapped up tight in a cozy blanket? Many kids with sensory sensitivity issues especially enjoy the feeling of weight and compression. For some kids, especially kids with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or sensory processing disorder (SPD) especially benefit from pressure stimulation, and a key way to offer this is by using weighted or heavy blankets.

Additionally, weighted blankets can be helpful for a kid with autism who may not tolerate being hugged even though desiring pressure sensation. Many of the Sensory Store weighted kids blankets have PET pellets sewn into chambers that deliver uniform distribution of weight throughout the weighted blanket, while others employ pockets providing the ability to add and customize the weight for your kids specific weighted blanket entirely for your kids personal preference.
