Brentfords Weighted Blanket Quilted - Pink - 125 x 150 cm - 4kg

DTPS is a therapeutic technique where firm, gentle pressure is applied evenly across the body. This pressure simulates the comforting feeling of being held or hugged, which can trigger the release of calming neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety.

The 4kg (8.8lb) Brentfords Weighted Blanket is generally ideal for children. While some adults may find it comforting, for a more pronounced therapeutic effect, adults typically benefit from heavier blankets (e.g., 6kg or 8kg), which are available in other variants.

A common guideline is to choose a blanket that is approximately 10% of the user's body weight. This 4kg blanket is suitable for children weighing around 40kg (approximately 88 lbs). Always ensure the child can move the blanket independently.

No, the weighted blanket itself should not be machine washed or tumble dried. It is recommended to spot clean or hand wash with cold water and a mild detergent, then air dry flat. Using a removable duvet cover (attached via the blanket's loops) is highly recommended for easy machine washable care.

The loops are specifically designed to attach a compatible duvet cover (sold separately). This allows you to easily secure a washable cover, protecting your weighted blanket from dirt and spills and simplifying its maintenance.

Yes, the Brentfords Weighted Blanket is designed with a microfibre cover and non-toxic micro glass beads, contributing to a breathable and comfortable experience while providing its therapeutic weight. However, individual heat perception can vary, and room temperature or additional bedding layers may influence comfort.

Ensure your room temperature is comfortable. Consider using a breathable cotton duvet cover with the blanket, or try reducing other layers of bedding.

Gently shake and redistribute the blanket to encourage the micro glass beads to settle evenly within their stitched pockets. Always lay the blanket flat on your body or bed for best results.

This 4kg blanket is primarily designed for children or lighter adults. If an adult finds this weight insufficient for therapeutic benefits, a heavier variant (such as 6kg or 8kg), which is available, may be more suitable.
