Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the weighted blanket from its packaging.
- 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.
- 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.
