Shnooze Weighted Blanket Queen 7kg A cooling summer weighted blanket, designed to keep you cool whilst you enjoy your deepest sleep yet that is perfect for adult use. The blanket has a soft cotton outer, filled with non toxic glass beads (does not include separate cover). The blanket can be used for relaxation, stress relief and better sleep by using the principles of deep pressure. Weighted blankets are used as part of occupational therapy for Autistic people, stress, ADHD, anxiety, restless legs and other Sensory Disorders and can also be great for older patients in nursing homes too. The therapeutic use of weight and deep pressure to the muscles and joints allows the central nervous system to interpret and integrate proprioceptive and tactile input. The main reasons for using weighted products are to calm, improve focus and attention, improve body awareness and to decrease sensory seeking behaviours. They have been invaluable in the treatment of people who do not properly process sensory stimuli. Covers are not essential but do make cleaning easier. Spot clean with a damp cloth where necessary. DO NOT put in the dryer or the microwave. Please ensure you regularly inspect for any damage to the blanket. Please consult with your therapist before starting any type of weighted therapy. Not suitable for children under three years old. Keep out of their reach. Please note, weighted blanket colour may vary.
