Hefty Petz Kids Weighted Blankets
(I received a complimentary weighted blanket from Hefty Petz to facilitate this review. However, the views and opinions expressed are entirely my own. You can read my full disclosure here.)
Have you considered trying a Weighted blanket to help your kids sleep better?
I have 3 kids. While the younger 2 have no problems sleeping (they totally take after their dad). The oldest, my 9-year-old daughter sadly takes after me and really struggles with sleep. She has for her whole life. I had heard that using a weighted blanket can help with sleep. Then I heard about Hefty Petz a company that specifically makes weighted blankets for children.
When they contacted me asking if I would like to review their blanket for my site I said yes hoping that it would help my little girl fianlly sleep better.
Each of their blankets. is weighted at 4 lbs with a soft microfiber fabric with quilted pods that are stuffed with polyester fill and polyethene beads. (to create the weighted feel) Right now you can get a Hefty Petz weighted blanket in 3 design options (Cozy Kitty, Dreamy Dog, & Sleepy Unicorn) for only $39.99!
The science behind weighted blankets is that the weighted blankets help release serotonin by providing a deep pressure tourch (giving the feeling of being embraced in a worm comforting hug. This helps to lessen stress & anxiety which are often what is keeping your child awake at night. Additionally, but creating the Hefty Petz weighted blankets to look like adorable animals your kids are further comforted.
When the banket arrived, my daughter instantly loved both the look (she adores kittys) and the soft feel. At 4lbs the blanket wasn't too hot or heavy but felt comforting for her to wrap up in. We have had our blanket for almost 2 weeks and seriously my daughter hasnt slept better. Rather than laying in bed for a couple hours trying to get to sleep I notice she is asleep in less than 20 minutes after lights are out.
She loves her blanket soo much she has even taken it with her to her cousin's house for a sleepover claiming she can't sleep without it. If you are looking for a good weighted blanket for your kids I highly Hefty Petz!
