L-OMA Weighted Blankets™ have been recognized for the benefits they provide to persons with autism. 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.  L-OMA Weighted Blankets™ can help anyone who in need of a comforting feeling of calm and security!

Depending on the size of the blanket and specific needs of the individual, the relative weight of each blanket 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.

Unlike some of our competitors, we use only non-fumigated, high quality, organic buckwheat hulls in our products.

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

• All blankets are made by us (a non-profit who serves people with disabilities) in the USA
• You can choose either a cotton or organic cotton outer layer material.
• Choose your desired color and print.  We are also happy to accommodate custom orders.
• Choose from a variety of sizes/weights. A weighted blanket can be a very individualized product so our expertise in serving people with disabilities can be helpful if you call us with questions.
• With our Weighted Blanket Intelligent Tubing System™ the weight in the blanket is distributed evenly and stays in place, which may not be the case with other types of weighted blankets.
• Our Intelligent Tubing System also provides a way to adjust the weight of the blanket to meet the changing needs of the user over time.  You may also want to replace tubes due to standard wear and tear over time.  Either way, our Weighted Blanket Intelligent Tubing System™ allows you to extend the life of the blanket and makes the L-OMA Weighted Blankets an even better investment.

• DON’T BE FOOLED BY IMITATORS We are the creators of the original Weighted Blanket Intelligent Tubing System™

Custom Orders:

A weighted blanket can be a very individualized product and we want to be sure that we’re giving you exactly what you need, so custom orders are welcomed.  Please contact L-OMA Buckwheat Pillows™ to discuss your specific needs, design/pattern preferences or with any questions you may have.

The Scoop on Weighted Blankets

A few things you should know about your weighted blanket!  

It’s not really a blanket; it’s intended to be used for weight only, not warmth (though of course you can use it with your regular sheets and blankets).  The general rule for the most therapeutic weight is 10% of a person’s body weight, though everyone’s needs are different. We’ve found that our 5′ x 3′ 11 lb. blanket works well for most adults.

The benefits of a weighted blanket are not limited to children.  These weighted blankets  have been used by a variety of individuals including but not limited to those with ADD, ADHD, developmental disabilities, restless leg syndrome, sleep apnea, cerebral palsy, anxiety disorder, Alzheimer’s and other disorders.

While we’ve had requests to make heavier and larger blankets in order to fit a specific bed size, we’ve found that due to the design of the blanket this is not possible; it makes the blanket too cumbersome (not to mention the shipping costs involved!). If you are an adult and feel you need more weight, we suggest buying two blankets and useing them together.

We offer blankets in these sizes:

• Crib-2×3  5 lbs
• Lap 3×3   7 lbs
• Square bed 4×3.5   9 lbs
• Rectangular Bed 5×3   11 lbs

When customizing your blanket please let us know what kind of fabric your prefer:

• 100% cotton
• 100% organic cotton

You can also tell us what color(s) or color scheme, flowers, stripes,trucks, polka dots, etc. that you’d like to have… just use the comment box during checkout to let us know.  We will match your choice as closely as possible.

When you receive your blanket it may feel a bit stiff!  The blanket will soften as you work it in, much like a new pair of shoes, and soon it will be more flexible.

For less weight, remember: you can remove a few tubes!

Washing your blanket is easy! DO NOT WASH THE TUBES!

Care of your weighted blanket is easy: our blankets are made with tubes filled with buckwheat hulls, which slide out of their pockets, allowing for easy laundering of your blanket.  Remove them and wash the blanket in gentle cycle, hang dry or fluff cycle in the dryer.  Otherwise tubes may not fit back into their slots.

That’s it — if there’s anything that we haven’t addressed here, please contact us and as always, thank you for your interest in our products!  Sleep well, dream well, be well — and peace!
