Weighted blanket for toddlers – soft security for your little one
Toddlers grow quickly – and good sleep is especially important. Our weighted blankets for toddlers are specially made to help your little one relax and feel safe. Does your toddler have trouble falling asleep, wake up often, or just need a little extra calm? A weighted blanket can help with a peaceful night.
The blanket feels like a soft hug and provides a reassuring pressure on the body. This pressure helps the body relax, makes your child calmer, and can improve sleep. This way, your toddler wakes up happy and rested in the morning – ready for a new day full of adventure.
Why are our blankets suitable for toddlers?
Toddlers have small bodies, so their weighted blanket should be light and comfortable. We recommend choosing a blanket that weighs about 10% of the body weight – usually that’s 2 or 3 kilos for a toddler. This way, the blanket feels safe, but not too heavy.
Our blankets are made from soft, breathable materials. They are warm, but also airy – ideal for the sensitive toddler body. With a fun cover featuring a cheerful print, your child will feel even more comfortable in bed.
How to choose the right weight?
The same applies to toddlers: take 10% of the body weight as a guideline. Some experts recommend adding a little extra for added effect. Here’s a handy overview:

How do you use a weighted blanket with toddlers?
