Important!
The weighted blanket is recommended for children
12 years and older, due to the weight and size of the
blanket.
If you have any of the following health conditions,
advice with your doctor before use:
• Breathing problems such as sleep apnea
• Cardiac problems
• Epilepsy
• Severe hypertonia
• Skin problems including certain allergies
• Circulatory problems
If case of pregnancy, consult your midwife or doctor
before use.
Important!
If used by children, it is important that they can
remove the weighted blanket themselves.
The child's head and neck must be free at all times.
Good to know
Choose a weighted blanket that equals 10-15% of your
body weight for optimum effect.
Recommended for children 12 years and older.
Do not use the weighted blanket if it is damaged.
Just like with a new mattress, it may take a while
for your body to adapt to the weighted blanket. We
recommend that you start by using the blanket for
a short period each night, and gradually increase as
your body gets used to it.

How to use
A weighted blanket can be used instead of a regular
duvet. Make sure that you do not cover your head
with the blanket. The blanket creates a deep pressure
that gives a snug fit and cocooning feeling. You can
use the weighted blanket to relax, wind down and fall
asleep easier and then remove it during the night. You
can also choose to use it the whole time you sleep.
The deep pressure effect may improve your sleep
quality in comparison to a regular duvet, and may
help in cases of insomnia. To prolong the lifespan, it
is recommended that you use a duvet cover with this
product.
Care
You can wash the weighted blanket by hand, not in the
washing machine.
Mites thrive in damp, warm and dark environments.
Therefore, when you wake up in the morning,
air your duvet well so remaining moisture can
evaporate before putting it back on the bed. We also
recommended that you hang your weighted blanket
outdoors regularly, to give it a good airing, keeping it
dry, fresh and free from dust between washes.
