Trust Badges

This coloured cotton weighted blanket is designed to fit on top of a King Single bed, with no overhang. This gives the best calming effect to people with sensory sensitivities.

Size:

108cm x 205cm

Fabric:

We make our cotton weighted blankets with high quality cotton drill.

The cotton is:

  • Made with all-natural, breathable fibres.
  • The best option for “hot sleepers” 
  • Smooth and even so that it won’t irritate sensitive skin.
Available colours:

Royal Blue, Baby Pink, Light Grey, Emerald Green, Black, Purple.

How we make it:

We manufacture this Cotton King Single Bed Weighted 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 then fill each one 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. (You can also select a cooler summer option without wadding. This means that the beads will move around within the pockets.)
Care instructions:

You can machine-wash this Cotton King Single Bed Weighted Blanket on cold, gentle cycle.

Your Blanket's Weight

Occupational Therapists recommend that a Single Bed weighted blanket should be 10% of your body weight.

As a King Single weighted blanket has a larger area, we recommend adding 0.5kg to the basic guideline.

If you are inbetween weights or want to leave room for a child’s growth, please get the next weight up.

Please use the table below to guide your blanket weight selection.

FAQs

Our Aussie team custom-makes each weighted product so that it will calm and relax you. We make them for people with:

  • Severe anxiety that hurts their ability to experience joy;
  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD);
  • Neurodivergence, including Autism and ADHD;
  • Insomnia;
  • Dementia or confusion or anxiety related to memory loss;
  • Sensory processing difficulties;
  • Big feelings of overwhelm that make it difficult to be calm and present; and
  • Depression.

Weighted blankets work because they are heavier than an ordinary blanket.

The extra weight provides calming Deep Pressure Touch.

Deep Pressure Touch is a firm but gentle consistent pressure. It triggers two responses in the body that bring feelings of reduced anxiety.

It firstly shuts off the body’s “fight or flight” instinct that is governed by the sympathetic nervous system.

It then activates the parasympathetic nervous system. This causes both the breathing rate and heart rate to slow and the muscles relax.

The end result is that you feel more relaxed and less anxious.

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:

  2. 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.)

Occupational Therapists recommend that a single bed weighted blanket should be 10% of your body weight.

If your weight is “in between” weights or you want to give a child some room for growth, please choose the next weight up.

Larger blankets with a wider area need to be a bit heavier to achieve the same level of calming Deep Pressure Touch.

Calming Moments’ weighted blankets are available in weights from 1.5kg to 12kg.

The weight is supplied by micro glass beads.

These are incredibly fine and – unlike poly pellets – have no sharp edges that could disturb your rest.

They are also silent, unlike poly pellets that can make whooshing and rustling noises.

Calming Moments operates from its factory in Greenfields, WA.

As a result, all our weighted blankets are certified Australian-made.

The outside of the weighted blankets is made in your choice of fabric type and colour.

We have a wide range of coloured cottons, sensory raised dot minky and smooth minky.

We sew two layers of cotton wadding inside the fabric.

We then sew evenly spaced pockets into the blanket and fill each pocket with an equal weight of micro glass beads.

The cotton wadding helps keep the beads spread evenly through each pocket.

This means your body gets consistent Deep Pressure Touch. It gives you the best calming effect.

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.

Line dry or dry it flat.

Calming Moments makes weighted blankets for people of all ages from two-years old.

We make them in all standard bed sizes. There is no need for a specific “adult”, “teen” or “child” size.

Instead, choose the bed size that suits you.

The weight is the special ingredient that will make the weight work for your body. Please use the recommended weight guidance on each product page.

If you share a bed and your partner doesn’t wish to use a weighted blanket, then please get a single or king single size for your side of the bed.

If you and your partner are both using the blanket, then please use your average weights to calculate the blanket’s weight.

If you are a “hot sleeper”, then our cotton weighted blankets are the best option for you. They’re made from breathable 100% cotton.

If your partner does not want a weighted blanket then it is better for you to get a single weighted blanket for yourself.

(It also means that you will get the perfect calming weight for you.)
