However, not all children will have a positive effect nor will the positive effect be noticeable to the same degree. The Baloo Living Weighted Blanket is a great choice for its temperature regulation. The blanket is constructed with a quilted cotton cover and a glass microbead fill padded with cotton batting. The cover provides excellent breathability to keep you cool in the warmer months, but the blanket also provides decent insulation when the outside temperatures drop. The blanket is ideal for couples, especially those who have different temperature preferences. One of the more commonly asked questions in regards to weighted blankets is how they can potentially help people with autism. And this is especially true when it comes to children. The fact of the matter is that we can't tell you with certainty whether a weighted blanket will or won't help you or your child. However, here's what we've found researching this topic.

Weighted blankets tend to come at various weight points. And some weighted blankets have only one weight option. And, as a general rule of thumb, you don't want to overdo it and get a weighted blanket that's too heavy for your build. Start by reading the care label. Then, according to the instructions, soak your weighted blanket in a tub filled with cold or lukewarm water and mild detergent for 15 minutes. Then, rinse and repeat until you're left with nothing but clean water. Or, wash your blanket in a machine. Most weighted blanket covers are removable and can be washed and dried in a household machine. In some cases, the entire blanket can be laundered at home. Alternatively, you may need to spot clean or dry clean your blanket to prevent early wear and tear. Besides just getting claustrophobic, a weighted blanket that's too heavy can also cause discomfort – completely negating the main benefit a weighted blanket is supposed to have! Plus, it can be more difficult to ensure even weight distribution if the blanket is too heavy.The blanket is available in three sizes, each carrying a different weight. The medium is 15 pounds, the large is 18 pounds, and the extra large is 30 pounds. Unlike some weighted blankets, this model is entirely machine-washable – including both the inner blanket and cover. Sales of weighted blankets have soared in recent years. While the research behind the purported health benefits of weighted blankets is still fairly inconclusive, those who swear by them say that hunkering down under the added weight helps to reduce anxiety and, in some cases, relieve insomnia. The blanket comes in twin, queen, and king sizes to accommodate single sleepers and couples who like sharing weighted blankets. There is also a teen size with slightly smaller dimensions than the twin. The teen is available in a 12-pound option and the twin is available in 15 and 20 pounds. The queen comes only in a 20-pound version, while the king is sold in a 30- or 35-pound option.

The fiber scientists in the Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab have tested over 20 weighted blankets in recent years. We first inspect the weighted blankets to evaluate construction and overall quality, then we have real testers try them out in their homes and fill out surveys based on their experiences. We also interviewed occupational therapist Christine Rocchio Mueller to gain insight into the science behind how weighted blankets work. Our 5.4kg (12lb) Weighted Throw blanket measures 107x183 cm (42x72 inches); it’s the perfect size for the sofa and is similar in size to the TOP of a single bed. It's also perfect for individual use on any size bed.

Experts report there are a range of real benefits to using a weighted blanket."There is recent research suggesting they can help reduce or relieve anxiety," says Rocchio Mueller. She also says they can help people who may not consider themselves anxious, yet still experience insomnia or sleep disturbances: "A weighted blanket might provide just enough physiological calm that it helps them relax to fall asleep." Many users describe the sensation of lying under a weighted blanket as feeling like a hug.
