4.8 out of 5. Individual experiences may vary
He burrows under every blanket in the house and jams himself against the wall. This is the first thing that gives him that feeling.

We tried a weighted blanket and it was off him in ten minutes, too hot. He keeps this one on.

She gets in and out of it herself, which is the part that made me comfortable leaving her with it.

Sound familiar?
If bedtime is the longest part of your day...
Two hours to get them down
Story, water, one more song, and they are still up. Then they are in your bed at midnight and nobody sleeps.
They are always burrowing
Under the blankets, under the cushions, pressed against the wall. They are looking for pressure, and you cannot lie there holding them all night.
The weighted blanket lasted ten minutes
Too warm, too heavy, and you were never fully comfortable leaving it on them all night anyway.
Gentle Pressure, Nothing Heavy On Top.

He puts it on himself now, which was not something I expected. It has turned into the last step of the routine instead of another argument.

Questions, answered
Everything you might be wondering
01What age is this for?
We recommend it from age 5 and up, with adult supervision until your child is comfortable using it on their own. The rule we would give any parent: your child has to be able to get in and out of it by themselves, every single time. If they cannot, the size is wrong. We do not sell it for children under 5 and we would rather say so plainly than leave it vague.
02Which size should I get?
Two ranges: Kids fits a child's clothing size 7 to 10, and Tween fits a child's clothing size 10 to 14. Go by the size they wear now rather than by their age, because the fit is what sets how snug it feels: too big and the pressure disappears, too small and it stops being comfortable and gets harder to get out of. If your child sits right between the two, or sleeps hugging a pillow or with their knees pulled up, go up rather than down. Kids grow, and a size that has become tight is a size to replace.
03How does the hood work?
The hood sits behind the head, like the hood of a sweatshirt resting on the pillow. It is never worn over the face and nothing goes over the nose or mouth. If your child likes to pull things over their head at night, this is not the product for them, and we would rather tell you that before you order.
04Can my child get out of it on their own?
Yes, and that is the point of the open foot design: they can push their feet through and step out without waiting for anyone. Have them practise getting in and out a couple of times with you there before the first night. If they cannot manage it easily, the size is wrong.
05Is it hot to sleep in?
Heat is the reason most kids kick a weighted blanket off, so here is the honest answer: there is no filling in this to hold heat, just one breathable layer of stretch knit. It is not a cooling product and nobody should sell it to you as one, but it does not pile insulation on top of them the way a filled blanket does.
06Is this a medical device?
No. General wellness and comfort product. Not a medical device and not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent any condition, and not a substitute for medical advice. It wraps your child in gentle pressure at bedtime, and that is the honest description of what it does. If you have questions about your child's sleep, that is a conversation for their pediatrician.
07How does shipping and the guarantee work?
Orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days, and standard delivery then takes 5 to 10 business days, so most orders arrive within 6 to 13 business days in total. Standard shipping is free, and you will get a confirmation email with a tracking number as soon as your order is on its way. Every order is also covered by our 100-day guarantee, counted from the day it arrives: sleep on it, use it, live with it.

08What if it is not for me?
Try it risk-free. Give it a few nights rather than one, since anything new feels odd at first. If it is still not right for your child, just reach out and we are happy to help and make it right. One-time purchase, no subscription and no surprise charges.
