Product Information

Full details

The OHS Supersoft Weighted Blanket is designed for individuals seeking relief from stress, insomnia, anxiety, and ADHD through the calming effects of 'Deep Touch Pressure Stimulation'. Its key benefit is promoting serenity and calm by evenly distributing weight across the body using compact stitched pockets filled with certified, non-toxic micro glass beads. While highly effective for many, it's crucial to note that this product is not suitable for very young children who are unable to move the blanket independently.

FAQs

How do I choose the right weight for my weighted blanket?

The general recommendation is to choose a blanket that is approximately 7-12% of your body weight. For children, the 4kg blanket is often ideal, while 6kg and 8kg options suit adults. Always consult a physician for precise guidance.

Can children use the OHS Supersoft Weighted Blanket?

Yes, children can use it, particularly the 4kg version. However, it should never be used by very young children who are unable to move the blanket off themselves independently due to safety concerns.

How do I clean my OHS Supersoft Weighted Blanket?

For easiest care, we recommend using a removable cover and washing the cover according to its instructions. If the blanket itself requires cleaning, spot clean small areas with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then air dry. For deep cleaning, professional cleaning or a commercial-sized delicate wash is advised, followed by complete flat air drying.

What is 'Deep Touch Pressure Stimulation'?

'Deep Touch Pressure Stimulation' (DTPS) is a therapeutic technique that uses firm, gentle, even pressure to promote a sense of calm and relaxation, helping to alleviate symptoms of stress, anxiety, and insomnia.

Is the blanket breathable and hypo-allergenic?

Yes, the OHS Supersoft Weighted Blanket features a breathable microfibre cover and is filled with certified, non-toxic, hypo-allergenic micro glass beads, designed for comfort and health.

What materials are used in the blanket?

The blanket's cover is 100% Polyester, the padding is 100% polyester, and the filling consists of certified, non-toxic micro glass beads.

Does the blanket come with a removable cover?

The blanket is designed with loops to attach a cover for easy care, but the cover itself is sold separately.

What sizes and weights are available for this blanket?

The OHS Supersoft Weighted Blanket is available in three sizes/weights: 125 x 150 cm (4kg), 125 x 180 cm (6kg), and 150 x 200 cm (8kg).

Troubleshooting

Blanket feels too heavy or too light.

Re-evaluate the blanket's weight against the recommended 7-12% of your body weight. Consult your physician for a personalized recommendation. If it feels too heavy, ensure you can still move it comfortably.

Weight does not feel evenly distributed.

Ensure the blanket is laid flat and spread out properly. Gently shake or adjust the blanket to help the micro glass beads settle evenly within their stitched pockets. Avoid bunching the blanket.

Blanket feels too warm during use.

The microfibre cover and internal filling are designed to be breathable, but if you feel too warm, try adjusting your room temperature, reducing other layers of bedding, or using a lightweight, breathable sheet underneath.

Difficulty cleaning the blanket.

For easy care, it is highly recommended to use a compatible removable cover. If the blanket itself needs cleaning, spot clean small areas. For a full wash, seek professional cleaning or use a commercial-sized washing machine on a delicate cycle and air dry completely flat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively alleviates symptoms of stress, anxiety, insomnia, and ADHD.
  • Provides a soothing 'snuggle effect' with uniform weight distribution.
  • Constructed from hypo-allergenic, breathable, and non-toxic materials.
  • Offers versatility with multiple weight options for different users.
  • Designed for easy maintenance with optional removable covers.

Cons

  • Not suitable for very young children who cannot move the blanket themselves.
  • Requires careful consideration to select the appropriate weight (7-12% of body weight).
  • Removable cover for easy cleaning is not included and must be purchased separately.
  • Actual blanket cleaning can be challenging without a cover due to its weight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove the weighted blanket from its packaging.
  2. Placement: Lay the blanket flat over your bed, couch, or wherever you plan to use it. Ensure it's evenly spread to distribute weight effectively.
  3. Optional Cover: If you have a compatible cover, attach it to the blanket using the integrated loops for easier cleaning and extended blanket life.

Compatibility

  • Users: Suitable for adults and children (with appropriate weight selection and supervision).
  • Weight Guidelines: Consult a physician for specific weight recommendations. Generally, 7-12% of body weight.
  • Safety: *Not for use by infants or very young children who cannot independently move the blanket.* Individuals with certain medical conditions (e.g., respiratory issues, circulatory problems, claustrophobia) should consult a doctor before use.

Care

The OHS Supersoft Weighted Blanket is designed with easy care in mind, especially when used with a removable cover.

  • With a Removable Cover: For routine cleaning, simply remove the cover and follow its specific washing instructions. This protects the weighted blanket itself from frequent washing.
  • Without a Cover: If a cover is not used, or if the blanket itself needs cleaning:
  • Spot Clean: For small spills, gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Allow to air dry completely.
  • Deep Cleaning: Due to its weight and internal filling, machine washing the entire blanket can be challenging and may damage some machines. If absolutely necessary, consider a commercial-sized washing machine on a delicate, cold cycle. *Air dry flat completely* to prevent mildew and ensure even bead distribution. Avoid hanging, as the weight can distort the blanket.

Materials: Cover - 100% Polyester, padding - 100% polyester, filling - certified, non-toxic micro glass beads.
