Detailed Description
With a unique and highly flexible design. Attach or detach the individual sections to adjust
the size of this blanket according to need. Whole sections can be separated for day time and
portable use (or for washing), and assembled again using the Velcro® for night time. Each
section has several pockets so you can regulate the weight distribution as required.
The weighted pouches contain balls and polyethylene granules. Helps individuals with sensory
processing problems, anxiety, sleep deprivation, ADHD, hyperactivity, hypersensitivity and
Autism to rest, and awaken feeling refreshed, energised, less irritable and with improved
concentration. The blanket stimulates the body’s nervous system by providing a deep,
constant and predictable pressure on the whole body.
Many people with physical and/or psychological problems have trouble sleeping. It may be
difficult to fall asleep, or to avoid waking during the night. Sleep problems can have
consequences with varying degrees of severity over shorter or longer periods of time. This
blanket may have beneficial effects for people who experience sleep problems or who
generally have difficulty finding calm and relaxation. This blanket may also help prevent
insomnia. The quilt is designed so that it lies heavily and snuggly around the person,
providing a sense of the body’s boundaries, which in turn increases body awareness. Many
people find that this has a calming effect on their muscles and joints and therefore helps
them to fall asleep. The enveloping and reassuring effect provided by the blanket helps to
ensure better and calmer sleep.
Some people experience problems sensing, or problems integrating what they sense from
external stimuli. For example, the sense of touch may be affected, which can in turn present
challenges registering pressure, cold, heat, pain, and structure. Proprioception is the muscle
and joint sense that registers movement, muscle strength, posture and the body’s position
in space. People with reduced proprioception may also have impaired body perception,
body awareness and reduced sense of space and direction.
