The handmade therapeutic blanket is a high-quality blanket that can help with sleep disorders, restlessness, developmental disorders such as Down syndrome and autism, or emotional disorders such as ADHD. It is also successfully used for sensory integration disorders. The weight of the therapeutic blanket is evenly distributed over the entire body, creating the feeling of a gentle, loving hug. The body relaxes as if by itself. Stress and anxiety levels decrease, and you can fall asleep peacefully or calm down. Therapeutic blankets are more than just a therapeutic tool – they are wonderfully designed, soft blankets that can be comfortably used every day of the year.

As the name suggests, a weighted blanket is no ordinary comforter. It has weight. This weight depends on the customer's body weight and height. The deep pressure exerted by the weight has a relaxing effect on the joints, muscles, and tendons. It brings inner and physical calm. Read the complete article here: How does a Therapy Blanket work?

Your therapy blanket should be about 10% of your body weight. If you are exactly between two weight classes, choose the lighter version. We offer two free exchanges, so you can change the weight or model again and find the perfect blanket for you. Remember that your blanket is a unique and long-term investment.

All our blankets serve the same purpose, but each model has some special features with which we want to meet the different needs of our customers.

Our Standard (formerly Gravity) and Premium (formerly Balance) models have a very practical function: For both models, there are matching covers made of warming or cooling fabric - depending on your preference and the season. The covers can be easily removed and changed. It is recommended to use the covers from our range, as weighted blankets have a cover system to prevent slipping.

The Standard weighted blanket is weighted by fine glass beads inside the blanket, which are sewn into equally sized squares. Here, the pressure on the body is created by the beads collecting in a corner. The cover is attached to the insert via 12 loops, so that nothing slips and the insert sits firmly in the cover. Due to the movement of the beads within the squares, the Standard weighted blanket is particularly soft and cuddly.

The Premium weighted blanket is weighted by small stainless steel beads, which are glued and fixed at regular intervals inside the blanket. The adhesive is water-based, odorless and harmless. The cover is attached to the insert via four zippers. This makes putting on and taking off the cover particularly easy, which is especially advantageous for older people. The Balance blanket is somewhat more stable and firm, which makes this model suitable for people who toss and turn a lot at night.

Our Medical weighted blanket is filled with micro glass beads sewn into equally sized squares. The blanket does not have a removable cover and is therefore more suitable as an over-blanket for a normal duvet. In addition, due to the cotton fabric, it is breathable and has a cooling effect. The Medical blanket does not have a cover system with loops or zippers, as covering this blanket is not necessary.

Therapy blankets are generally safe and harmless. Toddlers under 5 years old or 20 kg should always use the therapy blanket under supervision. If children use the blanket alone, they should always be able to remove it easily.

We advise against using a therapy blanket if you suffer from respiratory problems, such as asthma or sleep apnea, or have heart and blood pressure problems. Diabetes patients should also consult their doctor before using the blanket. One should always be able to remove the blanket oneself.

Patients with advanced type 2 diabetes should not use a weighted blanket, as their circulation is weaker. The weighted blanket should under no circumstances be used on patients with diabetic foot.

People with kidney problems (especially dialysis patients) should consult their doctor to see if a weighted blanket can be used. For osteoarthritis and slipped discs, a weighted blanket can worsen symptoms, so consultation with a doctor is also advisable here.

One should always be able to remove the blanket oneself.

Yes. However, for your child's safety, we recommend that you speak to a doctor first.

Our Premium therapy blanket model (formerly Balance) has stainless steel beads glued inside. Contrary to some speculation, we see no danger in the use of stainless steel; there are no scientific concerns or evidence that it could have a negative influence. Read more about this in our blog post.

To distribute the beads evenly, we use odorless, non-toxic, water-based adhesive. The adhesive does not come into contact with the skin, but there is no danger even with possible skin contact. You can view the safety data sheet for the adhesive used here from the manufacturer.

Since therapy blankets are precisely tailored to your body weight, the blanket should only be used by you or by someone who weighs as much as you do.

You can test our blanket for 30 days after receipt. If you don't feel any effect or are not satisfied, you can return or exchange the blanket. Please note our return policy.

The blanket may be washed during the trial period. Please handle the weighted blanket with care. We reserve the right not to accept soiled or damaged blankets.

We ensure sustainability and fair working conditions during the production of our therapy blankets. The blankets are manufactured in EU countries. We exclusively use fabrics of the highest quality so that you receive a premium product that will accompany you for many years and provide you with good sleep and relaxation.

Remember that your blanket is a unique and long-term investment. You are doing yourself and your body a favor in the long run if you can avoid sleeping pills and prevent certain illnesses from developing in the first place.

Normal blankets are usually filled with down or feathers. Therapy blankets are filled with micro glass beads or metal pellets to give them weight. The glass beads/metal beads are very fine and you can't feel them. Therapy blankets are hypoallergenic and can also be used by allergy sufferers. In contrast to down duvets, the fabric of the therapy blanket is air-permeable (breathable), which means the temperature under the blanket always remains pleasantly warm.

Our medical therapy blankets are made from 100% cotton and are therefore very breathable. The fabric is cooling and can simply be placed on top of your normal duvet or used on its own in summer.

Our Premium (formerly Balance) and Standard (formerly Gravity) therapy blankets feature a cotton cover that is 100% cotton on both sides – ideal for warmer days and anyone who tends to sweat easily.

Yes! We offer a 12-month guarantee. If anything breaks within 12 months of receiving the blanket, please send us photos of the damage with a brief explanation to kundenservice@therapiedecken.de. We will offer you a personalized solution.

The therapy blankets are manufactured under sustainable and environmentally friendly conditions in Poland and other EU countries.

Our Gravity blanket consists of two parts: the soft cover and the weighted blanket. The blanket (insert) can be washed at 30°C.

Our Balance blanket also consists of two parts. The insert is not washable.

The covers can be washed at 30°C.

The Medical Weighted Blankets consist of only a single blanket, which can be gently machine washed at 30°C.

Always check first if the weight of the blanket will not be too heavy for your washing machine drum. For the Balance and Gravity blankets, it is usually sufficient to just wash the cover. Please do not use a tumble dryer, as this can damage the fabric.

You can order the 4-season or cotton cover for the Standard (formerly Gravity) or Premium (formerly Balance) weighted blanket via the following link:

Replacement Covers

The therapy blanket does not need to be covered with bed linen. The Standard (formerly Gravity) or Premium (formerly Balance) therapy blanket already includes a removable cover. Due to its weight, a separate cover without fastenings can cause the blanket to slip.

Yes, except for our Medical Therapy Blanket. This blanket is primarily used as a top blanket or in summer.

The Premium (formerly Balance) and Standard (formerly Gravity) therapy blanket always comes with a 4-season or cotton cover. With the Standard or Premium set, you can choose two covers from the given options. Alternatively, the Standard insert can also be purchased individually.

So that the thin insert is as filled and snug as possible in the cover, it is intentionally slightly larger than the cover.

Each square of a weighted blanket (Medical and Standard Therapy Blanket model) is filled with the same amount of micro glass beads. The filling will always collect in the bottom corners and will not spread throughout the entire square. This is not a design flaw. The filling applies pressure to specific points on the body, thus exerting the weight.

It is very likely that a loop that fastens the insert to the cover has come undone. This can be resolved very quickly. Please open the cover and check if the insert is properly tied.

The cotton covers are lighter than the 4-season covers because the fabric is thinner and less pressure is needed in summer. The 135 x 200 cm cover is 0.5 kg lighter and the 155 x 220 cm cover is max. 1 kg lighter than the 4-season cover.

We recommend weighted blankets for toddlers older than 1 year. If you have an infant, please speak to your pediatrician first about whether a weighted blanket is appropriate.

No. The blanket is usually 40 cm longer than the body height. It takes between 2-3 years until the child has grown 40 cm and gained 10 kg.

Yes. Please send us an email with your desired blanket (weight and size), your delivery and billing address, and your phone number for queries.

Orders will only be dispatched after receipt of payment.

Klarna is a third-party provider and sets the payment terms. Our offer of a 30-day trial sleep period is not compatible with payment terms set by a third-party provider. Please settle the invoice. If you return the blanket, your order will be refunded. The payment deadline can be extended by the customer independently for a fee.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide the blanket free of charge due to high production costs. However, as a therapist or medical facility, you can benefit from other great advantages! Please refer to our discount program for therapists and medical facilities for more information.
