We highly recommend that you consult your child’s physician before your child uses a weighted blanket. When used correctly, weighted blankets are considered safe for most children, as long as the blanket is an appropriate size and weight.
When choosing or considering a weighted blanket for a child, it is generally best to look for one that is 10% of their body weight. For example, if your child weighs 100 pounds, a 10-pound weighted blanket would be most appropriate.
