Occupational Therapists recommend that a single bed weighted blanket should be around 10% of your body weight. Please use the table below to help you choose the best weight for your blanket.
This Smooth Minky weighted blanket is designed to fit on top of a Single bed, with no overhang. This gives the best calming effect to people with sensory sensitivities.
Size:
95cm x 190cm
Fabric:
This Smooth Minky Single Bed weighted blanket has a front of luxurious smooth minky and a back of matching cotton.
Smooth minky is soft and plush, while cotton is cool and breathable. The two fabrics mean that you can choose whichever tactile sensation you prefer against your skin.
Available colours:
Aqua, Baby Pink, Lavender, Light Grey, Lime Green, Navy Blue.
How it’s made:
We make this Smooth Minky 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. These are each filled 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:
This weighted blanket is machine-washable on cold, gentle cycle.

Care Instructions

Your Blanket's Weight
Occupational Therapist’s recommend that a Single Bed weighted blanket should be around 10% of your weight.
We recommend selecting the next weight up if you are “inbetween” weights or want some room for growth for a child.
Please use the table below to help you choose the best weight for your 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.

Finally, a good quality weighted blanket
I have made the mistake of buying much cheaper weighted blankets because I thought Calming Moments' was too expensive. I was wrong - I have wasted so much money on poor quality blankets when I could have just bought once.
