Ella Weighted Blanket Kids

When it comes to the weight of the weighted blanket, it is most effective in improving your child's sleep when it weighs approximately 12-25% of your child's body weight (see the guide below).

Recommended weight:

The child's age is 1 to 3 years: Here, we recommend the blanket at 2 kg.
The child's age is 3 to 5 years: Here, we recommend the blanket at 3 kg.
The child's age is over 5 years: Here, we recommend our adult blanket at 5 kg

Our junior weighted blanket is similar in many ways to a regular blanket. The only difference is that the blanket has increased weight, which comes from tiny, noiseless glass beads evenly distributed throughout the blanket. The distribution of the glass beads prevents the weight from clumping and ensures that the child doesn't experience concentrated pressure on any specific area of the body. The most important aspect is that the child can remove the blanket from their face on their own. If your child can do that, they can experience the benefits of our weighted blanket without any risk.

Our Ella weighted blanket for children is generally recommended for children aged 3 and above. Please note that the child's blanket measures 100x140 cm. The crucial factor for determining whether your child should use our junior weighted blanket is their ability to remove it from their face on their own.

We always offer free shipping on purchases over €70, and we deliver within 2-4 business days.

The 30-night sleep guarantee can be seen as a trial period. During this time, you have the opportunity to try out the blanket at home without any risk. If within the guarantee period it turns out that the blanket is not suitable for your child, you can return it and get your money back.

There are two main reasons why we offer this extended sleep guarantee. Firstly, it can take some time for many people to adjust to the blanket - for some, even up to a month. Most people are not accustomed to sleeping with the extra weight on top of them, so we recommend starting with a couple of hours at a time initially and gradually increasing it from there. We want your child to take the time it requires to get used to it without any stress, so you can benefit from all the positive effects the blanket has on sleep. Secondly, we find that more than 9 out of 10 customers become very enthusiastic about the blanket after the first 2-4 weeks. So, there's a good chance that it can also have a positive impact on your child's sleep.

You might be wondering, 'What do you do with the used blankets?' At the moment, we collect the used blankets and donate some of them, while others are given a 'new life' with people in need who can benefit from them (at a significantly reduced price). Please note that we do not sell returned/used blankets on our website - you can be sure to receive a brand-new blanket when you order it here.

The children's weighted blanket can be washed using a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius. It should not be machine dried, ironed, or dry cleaned, and it should be hung to dry immediately after washing.

There has been a significant amount of research conducted on weighted blankets, and here are some of the recent studies. We hope you find it interesting.

Swedish study (2020): A group of researchers found that weighted blankets have a positive effect on sleep quality in individuals with severe depression, anxiety, and ADHD. Participants were assigned either a regular blanket or a weighted blanket. After just one month, it was evident that those using the weighted blankets experienced fewer sleep problems and felt less tired and depressed during the day compared to those using regular blankets (source).

American study (2020): Researchers in Florida examined the effects of weighted blankets on individuals admitted to a psychiatric unit. A total of 122 participants were involved, with half using a weighted blanket and the other half not. The group using the weighted blanket reported lower levels of anxiety compared to the group without one (source).

Study from 2020: In a study involving 28 individuals with significant sleep issues, participants were given weighted blankets to sleep with at night. After just six weeks, all participants reported an improvement in sleep quality, falling asleep faster, and experiencing less overall sleep disturbance (source).

Swedish study (2022): Researchers conducted a study to investigate the effects of weighted blankets on the production of hormones such as melatonin (the sleep hormone). The study involved 26 healthy individuals with an average age of 24. The findings showed that the production of melatonin was 32% higher during the first hour of sleep for participants using a weighted blanket compared to those using a regular blanket (source).
