FAQs

Who can benefit from using this weighted blanket?

This OHS weighted blanket is designed to help individuals experiencing stress, insomnia, anxiety, and symptoms of ADHD by promoting relaxation and a sense of calm.

How does the 'Deep Touch Pressure Stimulation' therapy work?

Deep Touch Pressure Stimulation (DTPS) uses gentle, even pressure across the body, similar to a hug. This sensation helps to calm the nervous system, potentially increasing serotonin and melatonin levels for improved mood and sleep, while reducing cortisol (stress hormone).

How do I choose the correct weight for the blanket?

Generally, the blanket's weight should be about 7-12% of your body weight. It is highly recommended to consult your physician for personalized advice, especially for children.

Can children use this weighted blanket?

Yes, a 4kg blanket is typically ideal for children. However, it is crucial that the child is old enough and strong enough to move the blanket themselves. It should not be used by very young children who cannot do so.

What materials is the blanket made from?

The blanket features a 100% Polyester microfibre cover, 100% polyester padding, and is filled with certified, non-toxic, hypo-allergenic micro glass beads.

How do I clean my OHS Weighted Blanket?

For best results, spot clean or hand wash the blanket itself with cold water and air dry. To make cleaning easier and protect the blanket, we recommend attaching a separate washable duvet cover using the blanket's integrated loops.

What sizes and weights are available?

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

Does the weight shift inside the blanket?

No, the blanket is designed with compact 4.5-inch stitched pockets that ensure the micro glass beads are evenly distributed and prevent them from shifting, maintaining consistent pressure across your body.

Troubleshooting

Blanket feels too heavy or too light.

The ideal weight is typically 7-12% of your body weight. If it feels incorrect, consult your physician. For children, ensure they can move the blanket freely. It might be necessary to adjust the weight if the initial choice isn't comfortable.

Weight feels unevenly distributed.

The blanket is designed with compact stitched pockets to distribute weight evenly. If you notice unevenness, gently shake and smooth the blanket to redistribute the micro glass beads within their pockets. Ensure no pockets have been compromised.

The blanket feels too warm during use.

The microfibre cover is designed to be breathable. If you find it too warm, consider using it with lighter sleepwear or in a cooler room. If you are using an additional cover, ensure it is made of breathable material like cotton.

Difficulty cleaning the blanket.

The weighted blanket itself is best spot cleaned or hand washed. For easier maintenance, attach a washable duvet cover using the integrated loops. This allows you to wash the cover regularly while protecting the blanket from direct soiling.

The blanket slides off the bed or body.

Weighted blankets are heavier than regular blankets, which can sometimes lead to sliding. Ensure it's placed centrally. If using a cover, make sure it's securely tied to the blanket's loops to prevent shifting and bunching, which could cause it to slide.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively relieves stress, insomnia, and anxiety.
  • Supports individuals with ADHD by promoting calm.
  • Provides a comforting, 'snuggle effect' through even pressure.
  • Made with certified, non-toxic, and hypo-allergenic materials.
  • Durable and breathable microfibre cover.
  • Easy to maintain with the option to attach a washable cover.

Cons

  • Not suitable for very young children who cannot move the blanket themselves.
  • Requires careful consideration and consultation for choosing the appropriate weight.
  • Potential for initial adjustment period due to the weighted sensation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Setting up your OHS Weighted Blanket is straightforward:

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove the blanket from its packaging.
  2. Placement: Lay the blanket directly over your body on a bed, sofa, or other comfortable surface.
  3. Optional Cover: If you wish to use a separate duvet cover for easier cleaning, align the loops on your weighted blanket with the ties inside your chosen cover. Secure each loop to a tie to prevent the blanket from bunching up inside the cover.

Compatibility

This weighted blanket is suitable for:

  • Adults: The 6kg and 8kg options are generally recommended.
  • Children: The 4kg option is ideal for children, provided they are old enough and strong enough to move the blanket themselves. Important: This product should not be used by very young children who are unable to move the blanket themselves.

Always consult a physician to determine the most appropriate blanket weight based on individual needs and health conditions.

Care Instructions

Proper care will ensure the longevity and hygiene of your weighted blanket:

  • Material Composition: Cover: 100% Polyester, Padding: 100% Polyester, Filling: Certified, non-toxic micro glass beads.
  • Cleaning: Due to the internal glass beads, the blanket itself should typically be spot cleaned or hand washed gently with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Drying: Air dry flat or hang. Do not tumble dry, as this can damage the internal bead structure or the blanket material.
  • Using a Cover: To significantly simplify care, it is highly recommended to use a removable, washable duvet cover attached via the blanket's integrated loops. This allows you to wash the cover frequently while keeping the weighted blanket itself clean.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the blanket in a cool, dry place.
