Fico - Weighted blanket - Junior - PU

The Fico Weighted Blanket Junior is an innovative and effective solution, inspired by Scandinavian design, to provide comfort and security to children with various care needs. Weighted blankets originated in Scandinavian healthcare, where they have been used for years to improve patient well-being, supported by extensive scientific research.

This weighted blanket is specifically designed for children and offers a dual effect. On the one hand, the blanket’s weight creates a gentle, even pressure on the body, similar to a hug. This deep pressure stimulation promotes the release of hormones such as serotonin and melatonin, which contribute to feelings of relaxation, calm, and safety. Children with ADHD, anxiety disorders, autism, or sensory processing issues can especially benefit, as it helps them better process stimuli and concentrate.

On the other hand, the Fico Weighted Blanket helps reduce external stimuli, making children less easily distracted and more relaxed. This can lead to better, longer, and deeper sleep, which is essential for the child’s well-being. Moreover, this blanket is ideal for daytime use, for example, as a shoulder piece or vest, making it suitable for use outside the home.

The Fico Weighted Blanket Junior is made from high-quality materials specifically chosen for their durability and comfort. The outer layer is a blend of 45% PE and 55% PU, resulting in an impermeable, breathable, and bi-elastic fabric. Additionally, this fabric is anti-dust mite, mold-resistant, and meets stringent fire safety standards (BS 6807CRIB 5). The blanket’s filling consists of polished glass beads, 0.8 - 1 mm in size, made from recycled glass. These beads provide the necessary weight and are evenly distributed throughout the blanket for optimal pressure distribution. The material is easy to clean and can be washed with almost any disinfectant.

Measuring 70x120 cm, this weighted blanket is perfect for use on the couch or on the go. The neutral gray color fits into any interior, and its fire-retardant property provides extra safety for both home use and in institutions.

Fico Weighted Blanket Junior is the ideal choice for children who need extra comfort and security, whether it’s for support with sleep issues, improving concentration, or reducing anxiety. Available at Senso-Care, the expert in independent living and learning since 2000.
