Weighted blanket for toddlers – soft comfort for your little one
Toddlers grow quickly – and good sleep is especially important during this time. Our weighted blankets for toddlers are specially made to help your child relax and feel safe. Does your toddler have trouble falling asleep, wake up often, or simply need some extra calm? A weighted blanket can help ensure a peaceful night.
The blanket feels like a gentle hug and provides reassuring pressure on the little body. This pressure helps the body relax, calms your child, 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 must be light and comfortable. We recommend choosing a blanket that weighs about 10% of the body weight – usually 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, yet airy – ideal for the sensitive toddler body. With a fun cover featuring a cheerful pattern, your child will feel even more at ease in bed.
How do you choose the right weight?
The same rule applies for toddlers: take 10% of the body weight as a guideline. Some experts suggest adding a little extra for additional effect. Here is a handy overview:
Note: is your toddler smaller or lighter? Then first consult a specialist or use the blanket only under supervision.

How do you use a weighted blanket with toddlers?
