The Harkla weighted blanket effectively soothes or resets the nervous system, making it an excellent choice for sensory seekers or those looking to work with their nervous system. Crafted from bamboo rayon fabric, this breathable blanket prevents overheating during the night, while the soft minky dotted cover offers tactile sensory input, and the weighted inner layer provides grounding.
The Harkla Weighted Blanket for Kids consists of two parts: a removable duvet cover that is easy to clean, and a hypoallergenic inner layer filled with glass beads. After washing, the blanket cover maintains its softness, ensuring a fresh and comfortable experience.
Each Harkla weighted blanket is designed to weigh roughly 10% of the user's body weight, so be sure to check the sizing chart in the images to find the ideal size for children. Now although this blanket has been designed for kids it can work perfectly for adults as well looking to work with their nervous system.
Here’s a crucial point that is often overlooked: the pressure from weighted blankets activates your autonomic nervous system, encouraging a “rest” mode that alleviates anxiety symptoms like rapid heart rates and breathing. This can result in an overall sense of calm. These blankets have shown positive effects for various conditions, including autism, ADHD, anxiety, and neurodivergence, and they can also assist individuals coping with loss or grief by supporting the nervous system, which significantly benefits our well-being.
