Weighted blanket child 5 years – rest and comfort for every night
A good night's sleep is essential, especially for growing children. Our collection of weighted blankets for children aged 5 years is specially designed to provide a sense of safety, comfort, and deep relaxation. Whether your child has trouble falling asleep, wakes up often, or needs extra calm after a busy day – a weighted blanket for children can help.
These blankets work based on deep pressure stimulation: a calming technique that helps the body relax, reduces stress, and improves sleep quality. The result? A well-rested child who can concentrate better and starts the day with more energy.
What makes our weighted blankets suitable for 5-year-olds?
Children around 5 years old have specific needs. Our weighted blankets take into account the weight, height, and comfort of children in this age group. We recommend a blanket that weighs about 10% of the body weight – on average between 3 and 5 kg for a 5-year-old. This provides balanced pressure without the feeling of suffocation.
Our blankets are made from soft, breathable materials that are both warm and ventilating. Buy a nice cover to make your child really feel at home. Whether it's a neutral shade or a playful pattern – there's something for everyone.
*Tip! Does your son or daughter weigh at least 37 kilograms and already sleep in a single bed? Then choose a single weighted blanket of 6 kilograms.
