I am researching weighted blankets and came across these sites. I am not endorsing them over any other site, but providing you links for you to easily access, read, and decide for yourself.
Weighted blankets are thought to calm, relax, and aid in sleeping for kids with Sensory Processing Disorder, who are anxious, have trouble sleeping, or crave deep pressure. They come as small as lap blankets to help a child sit still when seated at a table or desk, doing homework, busy work, computer time, listening to someone lecture/read/talk, or eat. They also have toddler size, twin, full, and queen sizes for sleeping. They come in different fabrics and with different amount of weight. Most OTs agree that the weight of the blanket should not be more than 10% of a child's body weight.
