Occupational Therapists recommend that a weighted blanket be around 10% of your child’s body weight. Please use the table below to guide your weight choice.
This Unicorn weighted blanket is designed to fit on top of a Toddler bed, with no overhang. This gives the best calming effect to people with sensory sensitivities.
Fabric:
We make our Unicorn weighted blankets with your choice of printed cotton for the front. Select your favourite colour in cotton, sensory minky or smooth minky for the back.
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 fabrics:
Blue Glitter Unicorns, Gold Glitter Unicorns, Pink, Blue and Purple Galaxy Unicorns, Rainbow Glitter Unicorns, Rainbows and Unicorns.
How we make it:
We make this Unicorn Toddler 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 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.
Care instructions:
You can machine-wash this Unicorn Toddler Bed Weighted Blanket on cold, gentle cycle.

Your Blanket's Weight
Occupational Therapists recommend that a weighted blanket should be 10% of the user’s body weight.
Please use the next weight up if your child is “in-between” weights or you want to leave some room for growth.
Please use the table below to help you select the best weight blanket.
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.
The workmanship is very fine and my daughter can't wait to go and lie under it when she gets home from school each day.
