Can this blanket be used by children?

Can I use this blanket in summer?
While the plush side offers warmth, the blanket can still be used in warmer weather, especially in air-conditioned rooms. However, it may feel warmer than a standard blanket due to the filling and materials.
How do I choose the right weight for me?
A general guideline is to choose a blanket that is approximately 7-12% of your body weight. This blanket is 6.9kg, typically suitable for individuals in the range of 60-95kg.
Troubleshooting
Blanket feels too heavy
Gradually increase usage time. Start with 15-30 minutes and progressively extend. Ensure you are using the appropriate weight for your body size; if not, consider a lighter option.
Uneven weight distribution
Gently shake and lay the blanket flat. If the issue persists, contact customer support as there may be an internal defect.
Blanket feels too warm
Use the blanket during cooler periods or in air-conditioned environments. Consider pairing it with lighter bedding or using it for shorter durations.
Slight initial odor
Air out the blanket in a well-ventilated area for 24-48 hours before first use. The odor is typically from packaging and is temporary.
