Occupational Therapists recommend that a weighted blanket weigh around 10% of your body weight. Please use this table as a guide to get the best weight for you.
Our Character travel weighted blanket is a handy size that you can take with you without being too small or too big when you are on the move.
Choose your favourite character fabric for the front and match a back from our selection of coloured cotton, sensory minky or smooth minky options.
It’s ideal for smaller children when a bed blanket is too large.
It’s great for adults wanting something larger than a lap blanket to snuggle.
Fabric:
We make our Character weighted blankets with a front of licensed printed cotton of popular themes and characters from movies, books, television series and games.
Select your favourite colour for the back from our choices of cotton, sensory minky or smooth minky.
For the back, choose:
Cotton if you want a breathable, natural fabric. We recommend cotton for “hot sleepers”;
Sensory minky if you like to stroke textures to self-soothe; or
Smooth minky for a luxurious and snuggly blanket.
Available prints:
Bluey, Dr Seuss, Dumbo, Frozen, Harry Potter, Mickey and Friends, Minecraft, Minions, My Little Pony, Paw Patrol, PJ Masks, Star Wars, Thomas and Friends and Trolls.
How we make it:
We make this Character Weighted Travel Blanket in Greenfields, Western Australia.
Each weighted blanket’s calming effect comes from its weight. This comes from filling each blanket with the correct weight of micro glass beads.
The glass beads are the size of mustard seeds with smooth edges.
Each blanket has evenly spaced, individually sewn pockets. We fill these with an equal weight of micro glass beads. This means that the blanket’s weight is evenly distributed across your whole body.
We fill each blanket with two layers of cotton wadding. This keeps the glass beads evenly spread through each pocket.
Care instructions:
You can wash this Character Weighted Travel Blanket on cold, gentle cycle.

Safety

Please ensure that the person using the weighted blanket can lift it off themselves unaided.
Care Instructions
All Calming Moments’ weighted blankets are completely machine-washable on cold, gentle cycle if your machine can take the weight.
If not, please take it to a laundromat and wash it there. Please do not tumble dry or dry clean.
The extra weight of a weighted blanket gives your body soothing Deep Pressure Touch.
Deep Pressure Touch is constant, gentle pressure that first works to deactivate the body’s sympathetic nervous system (the body’s “fight or flight instinct).
Next, Deep Pressure Touch switches the body’s parasympathetic nervous system on.
The parasympathetic nervous system works to calm the body and mind by slowing the heart rate, reducing the respiration rate and relaxing the muscles.
All this helps relax your body so that you can sleep easily and soundly.
Calming Moments’ weighted blankets are a higher price point than some other brands on the market. There are two reasons for this:
We use only the highest quality inputs. Our fabrics are manufactured with a high thread count, are colour-fast and meet all Australian safety standards. This means that you can rest assured that our products are safe to use and don’t contain any toxic fillers.
We make them here in Australia. This means that our staff earn a fair wage and work legislated hours. (We understand that our staff earn as much in one hour as labourers in some Asian countries earn for a six-day, 12-hour-a-day working week.)
With a Calming Moments’ weighted blanket, you are buying:
Premium quality that will last (and is backed with an unmatched two-year guarantee);
Peace of mind that the product is safe to use; and
If you are self-managed, you can order online, pay online and then reallocate the funds to yourself. Alternatively, we will send you an invoice and you can make direct payment.
If you are plan-managed, we will send your case manager an invoice that they can submit. (Please ensure that a weighted blanket has already been added to your plan or they will not pay for it.)
If you are NDIA-managed, we will submit the payment request through the portal. Please make sure it has been approved as part of your plan. We will make your blanket and ship it to you as soon as we receive payment.
