Are you unsure about the right size or weight of your weighted blanket? Get quick advice with our decision aid.
Looking for a weighted blanket for your child? A good night's sleep is essential, especially for growing children. Our collection of weighted blankets for children aged 8 years is specially designed to provide a sense of safety, security, 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 start the day with more energy.
Children around 8 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 an 8-year-old. This provides balanced pressure without feeling restrictive.
Our blankets are made from soft, breathable materials that are both warm and ventilating. Buy a fun cover to make your child really feel at home with it. Whether it’s a neutral shade or a playful pattern – there’s something for everyone.
The same rule applies to children as for adults when it comes to weighted blanket weight: start with about 10% of the body weight. Many occupational therapists recommend adding 0.5 kg to 1 kg to this.
| Body Weight | Weighted Blanket |
|---|---|
| 18 to 25 kg | Novaline weighted blanket 2 kg |
| 25 to 36 kg | Novaline weighted blanket 3 kg |
| 36 to 50 kg | Novaline weighted blanket 5 kg |
| From 37 kg* | Novaline weighted blanket 6 kg |
* Suitable when your child is too big for a 100 x 150 cm weighted blanket. Because the weight of the 6 kg weighted blanket is distributed over a larger surface area, it is not too heavy to sleep under.
Promotes calmer sleep: Less tossing and turning, falling asleep faster, and sleeping longer.
Supports focus and relaxation: Ideal for children with sensory processing issues, ADHD, or anxiety.
Stimulates the production of happiness hormones: Such as serotonin and melatonin.
Safe and child-friendly design: Without loose parts or sharp edges.
Our weighted blankets are ideal for children who:
Have trouble sleeping or falling asleep
Get easily overstimulated
Have an extra need for structure and security
Have diagnoses such as ADHD, autism, or sensory processing disorders
Note: always use a weighted blanket under supervision and consult a specialist if in doubt, especially with medical or behavioral issues. Make sure your child can always remove the blanket independently!
Let your child gradually get used to the blanket by using it during the day while reading or relaxing. Then build up to using it at night. Always ensure good ventilation and choose the right size and weight based on the child.
