A therapist/healer hired me to make some weighted blankets. Many people like a soft, heavy weight atop them; they find it calming.
The therapist wanted me to make them because I was local, and I could fill them with tiny glass beads instead of the usual polyethylene plastic pellets. So far I have bought all the fabric in Bellingham. The glass beads are very nice and smooth to the touch. It feels a bit like sand, but since each grain is a smooth sphere they flow more easily.
The first blanket I made had a zippered cover; this one has the same number of layers but is sewn as a single piece. It weighs about 10 lb (4.5 kg) and is 54 x 40 in (140 x 100 cm). If you are interested in buying one, one this size costs about $150. A small one would be closer to $80.
Very well done! Absolutely brilliant information.
ReplyDeleteI used the heavy blankets and its really helpful to relieve the anxiety problem and help to sleep better. I bought my Heavy Blanket from calming moments australia. There are awesome and fast service provider. Very cooperative on phone calls.
