Care
Spot clean only with cool water and mild soap. Because the flaxseed and herbs are sewn inside, the blanket cannot be machine washed or fully submerged. Kept dry, the scent stays fragrant for about 6 to 12 months.
Why deep pressure helps
Children carry more than we know. A weighted lap blanket gives their nervous system something steady to settle into: the same deep touch pressure that helps adults feel grounded, scaled gently for a smaller body. It can take the edge off big feelings, transitions, and overstimulating moments.
These are statements about comfort and relaxation, not medical claims.
FAQ
Is a 2-pound weighted blanket safe for kids?2 pounds is intentionally light. Weighted blankets for children are generally recommended at about 10% of body weight, and this lap blanket is designed to rest on the lap or shoulders, never to cover a sleeping child's body or face. It's made for waking comfort. We recommend it for ages 3 and up with adult awareness.
How do I choose a scent?Lavender is the most popular for evening and rest. Spearmint is bright and clean, good for daytime focus and car rides. The blend balances both. Unscented is a thoughtful choice for children with scent sensitivities.
Who makes these?Every Little Comforts blanket is sewn by hand in New Hampshire by Parker Mountain Comfort Wraps, a one-woman studio rooted in over 30 years of yoga practice.
