Buckwheat Weighted Blankets

Weighted blankets have been recognized for the benefits they provide to persons with autism and PDD; they are also now being acknowledged as helpful to anyone in reducing anxiety and agitation, as well as aiding in relief from restless leg syndrome (RLS), mental health disorders, racing thoughts, insomnia, cerebral palsy, Alzheimer’s and ADHD, or anyone experiencing sensory dysfunction.  Weighted blankets can help anyone who in need of a comforting feeling of calm and security! 

The relative weight of each blanket (generally from 5 to 9 pounds, depending on size of blanket and specific needs of the individual) provides a sense of security in helping the user focus their senses, nerves and thoughts.  Persons using a weighted blanket generally describe feeling improved focus and concentration, muscular tension relief, and overall improved mood and attitude. 

Our blankets come in three standard sizes and depending on the size of the individual, different sizes and weights may be appropriate.

“crib” size (2’ x 3’, 5 lbs.)
“lap” size (3’ x 3’, 7 lbs.)
“bed” size (4’ x 4’, 9 lbs.)
