A 5lb weighted blanket for children who settle better under steady pressure. The even deep pressure helps calm the nervous system at bedtime, so winding down and staying settled get easier. Soft minky cover, glass-bead fill, sized for a child's bed.
Highlights & Tips
Why It Works
- Even, steady weight across the body is calming, because the body reads slow, constant pressure as safe.
- It is a different feeling from an ordinary duvet, and for many children it is the one that helps them settle.
How to use
- Start it at the beginning of the bedtime routine rather than once a child is already upset. It works best as part of winding down.
- Let the child decide when it goes on and when it comes off. Having that control is part of why it works.
OT Tip
- It does not have to be only for bedtime. Ten minutes across the lap during homework, or over the legs in the car, gives the same calming weight in a way the child manages themselves.

Safety Guidelines
Weighted blanket safety.
- Adult supervision is highly recommended.
- A weighted blanket should be roughly 10% of the child's body weight. At 5lb (2.27 kg) this blanket suits a child of about 22 kg and above.
- The child must be able to remove the blanket by themselves, without help.
- Never use with a child under 3, in a cot, or with any child who cannot reposition independently.
- Use over the body only. Never over the head or face.
- Check the seams and fill regularly and stop using it if any bead escapes.
- Introduce it for short periods first and watch how the child responds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver across the UAE?
Yes. We deliver to all seven emirates. Most orders arrive within 2–3 business days. Shipping is AED 35 on orders under AED 250 and free on orders of AED 250 or more. Bulky items may take longer, and we will contact you with a timeframe if that applies.
How do I choose the right weight?
As a general guide a weighted blanket is around 10% of the child's body weight. This 5lb (2.27 kg) blanket suits a child of roughly 22 kg upward. If your child sits between two sizes, choose the lighter one and message us — we are happy to advise.
How do I wash a weighted product?
Remove the weights first where they come out — the vest weight packets lift out and must be taken out before washing. Minky weighted blankets can be machine washed on a gentle cycle and must be air dried; never tumble dry, as heat damages both the bead fill and the fabric. Lap pads, weighted soft toys and bead bags with sealed fill are spot clean only. Check the seams regularly and stop using anything that leaks fill.
