This blanket weighs 3kg and should be approximately 10% of the child's body weight. Suitable for children between 25-35kg body weight. Not suitable for children under 3 years old. If you’re buying one for a younger child, the weight should typically be at the lower end of the scale – you could aim for around 5-10% of your little one’s body weight. Getting a weighted blanket in this weight range should mean they feel a nice hug-like pressure without feeling crushed. Yes, but not for babies or toddlers. Weighted blankets are fine for children over three years of age and you should only use the recommended weight for your child (see below) as they need to be able to easily remove the blanket themselves if they get too hot.

We have weighted blankets from a company called Gravity, bought online, for both our ASD kids. They love the blanket, use it on its own or with a duvet depending on how cold they feel.

We love them and use them every night. I would recommend them.” (Rated by Mumsnet user PawPrintsInMyPansies) Our verdict Select weighted beads and make sure to measure their weight accurately according to your child’s weight. Be sure to subtract the weight of the fabric or the blanket will be too heavy.As the weighted blanket that proved most effective at soothing our testers to sleep and keeping them in the land of the Nod until the alarm went off in the morning, the Simba orbit weighted blanket had to be our best buy. It’s not the cheapest blanket, but the quality and design warrant the investment.

Textures can play a big part in soothing our senses, which is why we liked the TheaWellbeing blyss weighted blanket. The velvety cover included in the box feels wonderful next to skin, and we often found ourselves running our hands along the dimpled detail throughout. Although you’re unlikely to use the weighted blanket without the cover, it is also beautifully smooth and silky. The cotton is super-soft next to the skin and breathable for ultimate comfort, which our tester found helped them sleep much better than without the blanket. And we particularly like that this weighted blanket works just as well draped over the bed as it does in the living room on a chair or sofa. The design is gorgeous and comes in a range of colours, including a berry red, green, grey and blue. We were also impressed by the ethical production process that ensures every worker at each stage is paid a fair wage.If your budget doesn’t quite stretch that far, the TheaWellbeing blyss weighted blanket with cover is a fantastic value for money buy. For children, we love the Snoozzzy dinosaur weighted blanket. Size: 105 × 155cm or 153 x 203cm | Weight: 3.2kg or 6.8kg | Filling: glass beads | Removable cover: Yes Reasons to buy So that it’s weighted where it matters, the glass beads are focused in the centre of the blanket rather than on the edges. Our tester wasn’t sure if this would mean that the weight would cover not all of their body, but the area is generously large enough to do the job.
