Benefits of Using a Weighted Blanket
My 6 year old grandson, David, who now sleeps through the night because of his weighted blanket
A weighted blanket can literally be a lifesaving device for entire families where someone is not sleeping or suffering from some form of sensory processing disorder (SPD).
When a child is not sleeping at night, everyone in the family suffers. Marriages suffer. Single parents suffer. We receive many, many, letters from customers saying that our weighted blankets have changed their families lives. We have seen autistic children who have never slept through the night finally be able to sleep soundly all night long with weighted blanket therapy. What a difference this can make.
Weighted blankets have been helpful for so many people. Is a child or adult in your family …
