How do Weighted Lap Blankets work and what are the benefits?

Weighted Lap Blankets are used by placing them on the individuals lap whilst sitting (either at home, school or work station) and can also be used whilst laying down and placing the blanket across the chest, stomach or back to alleviate anxiety. They are also a great sized sensory tool for travelling and as a more portable option that can be carried around easily.

Similar to our weighted blankets, the weighted pressure acts as a type of deep touch pressure therapy that stimulates the proprioceptive sense to help the nervous system relax. The weighted lap acts as a physical and psychological 'grounding' mechanism that calms the body and mind. The visual and tactile sensory input (i.e. colourful and furry textures!) offer similar benefits to our fidget toys, in that they enable the brain to self-organise and filter out distracting excess sensory information from the body and surrounding environment by redirecting focus to the the hands through tactile engagement.

Our weighted lap blankets can be especially helpful for individuals who find themselves uncomfortable and fidgety, children who are seen as 'wiggly' that can't keep still, and individuals who sometimes find it difficult to concentrate and get easily distracted. Make your brain happy with our Happy Senses Weighted Lap Blankets to improve cognitive functioning, self-organisation and regulation, and feel settled and centred in style with our luxurious range.

How do we make our weighted blankets?

All our weighted blankets are made with a double stitched insert, which is gridded up into small 10cm squares and filled with micro glass beads to evenly distribute the weighted pressure across the entire blanket to ensure maximum therapeutic benefits with minimal movement. We then double stitch the weighted insert into a beautifully made double stitched cover, so that you don't have to see or feel the gridded stitching and can maximise the aesthetic appeal of our gorgeous designs and luxurious textures.

Care Instructions:
