This is a machine quilted/hand made weighted blanket. Blanket is made of high quality cotton flannel with a layer of batting and weighted with plastic poly pellets. Pellets are all smooth and rounded. They are sewn evenly into pockets going across the entire body of the blanket to ensure even weight. Twin size to lay perfectly on top of the bed with no hang over so it won't slip off the side.
Blankets can be made with any cotton fabric and any size upon request. Prices will vary depending upon fabric and weight choice. 10 pounds is a pretty standard weight.
Recent studies have shown that deep pressure touch, the type of
proprioceptive input generated from a weighted blanket, releases
serotonin in the brain. This is a neurotransmitter that creates a feeling of
calm within our nervous system.
Depression, Anxiety, Aggression, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD),
and Bipolar Disorder all have a common link: low serotonin levels.
The deep pressure -- proprioceptive input -- generated from the Magic
Blanket signals the brain to release serotonin, which in turn naturally
calms and relaxes the body, promoting sleep and stress relief. This
effect has already had tremendous success helping to calm children and
adults with sensory integration disorder, autism, Rett Syndrome,
Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD, and Restless Leg Syndrome.
