More Information

Is your child having trouble focusing on bedtime and getting to sleep? Harkla's Sensory Weighted Blanket for Kids can help them relax and get the best night's sleep possible. This weighted blanket is filled with small odor-free and hypoallergenic glass beads that provide deep touch pressure, helping your little one fall asleep easier and more restfully. Deep touch pressure is a firm tactile sensory input that can consist of hugs, compression, and swaddling. Deep touch pressure is proven to lower and regulate heart rate and blood pressure; it also lowers cortisol levels, the body's main stress hormone. Deep touch pressure raises endorphin levels while releasing serotonin and dopamine, which are shown to boost mood and overall happiness. Those who benefit the most from deep touch pressure include people diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Psychiatric Disorders (i.e., depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc.), and Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). This weighted blanket features textured dots on one side while the underside is smooth with a uniform texture. The sewing is precise and the weight is evenly distributed, making this weighted blanket ideal for children with sensory processing disorder.
