What weight should I select for my child

10% of your child’s weight

Choosing the right weight is key to ensuring your child feels calm, safe, and comfortable under their weighted blanket.

That’s why we follow the 10% rule — a widely recommended guideline backed by occupational therapists and sleep experts. A blanket that’s around 10% of your child’s body weight provides just the right amount of gentle pressure to:

  • Help them relax and unwind
  • Encourage deeper, more restful sleep
  • Support a sense of calm during bedtime routines

Too light, and the blanket won’t offer the calming benefits. Too heavy, and it can feel restrictive or overwhelming — especially for younger children.

Our range makes it simple:

  • Up to 22kg → 2.2kg blanket
  • 22kg – 44.9kg → 3.2kg blanket
  • 45kg and up → 4.5kg blanket

Use the slider below to find the best match for your child’s weight — and help them drift off to sleep feeling secure and snug.
