A weighted blanket can be a substantial investment and, like you, we want your investment to last a long time. As a general
guideline for selecting the correct size and weight, there are two considerations you might want to keep in mind: 1) How much does
the user weigh now, and 2) how much to allow for future growth.
Children grow fast, and they can quickly outgrow a weighted blanket. So when selecting a size and weight, allow six inches or more
in length and two pounds or more in weight to allow for growing room. It's important to keep in mind that it's not the total weight of
the blanket that is critical. It is the area of blanket that the user will be under that matters most. So where a 6 pound blanket might
be ideal for a 50 pound boy today, an 8 or 10 pound blanket could be ideal for today and the next year or more. This is because
even though you select a 10 pound blanket for him, he will be under approximately 6 pounds of blanket area today. The other 4
pounds will lay on the bed past his feet. But as he grows taller and heavier, the extra length and weight are then put to use.
Remember to never leave a small child unattended while using a weighted blanket, and make sure the child is strong enough to
push the blanket off of his or her body if needed. Also please keep in mind that we are not occupational therapists. Our guidelines
are based on customer insights. Consult with an OT for their professional recommendations.
