Important!
The weighted blanket is recommended for children 12 years and older, due to the weight and size of the blanket.
If you have any of the following health conditions, advise your doctor before use:
• Breathing problems such as sleep apnea
• Cardiac problems
• Epilepsy
• Severe hypertonia
• Skin problems including certain allergies
• Circulatory problems
If case of pregnancy, consult your midwife or doctor before use.
Important!
If used by children, it is important that they can remove the weighted blanket themselves.
The child’s head and neck must be free at all times.
Good to know
Choose a weighted blanket that equals 10-15% of your body weight for optimum effect.
Recommended for children 12 years and older.
Do not use the weighted blanket if it is damaged.
Just like with a new mattress, it may take a while for your body to adapt to the weighted blanket. We recommend that you start by using the blanket for a short period each night, and gradually increase as your body gets used to it.

How to use
A weighted blanket can be used instead of a regular duvet. Make sure that you do not cover your head with the blanket. The blanket creates a deep pressure that gives a snug fit and cocooning feeling. You can use the weighted blanket to relax, wind down and fall asleep easier and then remove it during the night. You can also choose to use it the whole time you sleep.
The deep pressure effect may improve your sleep quality in comparison to a regular duvet and may help in cases of insomnia. To prolong the lifespan, it is recommended that you use a duvet cover with this product.
Care
You can wash the weighted blanket by hand, not in the washing machine.
Mites thrive in damp, warm, and dark environments.
Therefore, when you wake up in the morning, air your duvet well so the remaining moisture can evaporate before putting it back on the bed. We also recommended that you hang your weighted blanket outdoors regularly, to give it a good airing, keeping it dry, fresh, and free from dust between washes.
