What our customers say
- LWLisa W.Verified Buyer3/24/23Rated 5 out of 5 starsKids are sleeping more soundly!
Our kids are sleeping better with their 8 lb blankets. I'm even looking at getting an adult-sized one because the design is much easier to manage than my current glass-bead weighted blanket.
- CPCailin P.Verified Buyer3/11/23Rated 5 out of 5 starsMy son loves it
Really happy with our purchase. We’ve had it for one month and it has quickly become my son’s favorite blanket. I washed for the first time and it has held up well.

BBearaby3/13/23Hi Catherine 👋 Thank you very much for your kind words. I am over the moon to hear that you love your new napping companion! I hope you and your Nappling make many restful memories together 😊🤗
- JGJeanine G.Verified Buyer2/16/23Rated 5 out of 5 starsBetter fit
It’s perfect for me- I had originally ordered a 20 lb gorgeous navy for my bed but it was just too much- I seriously felt like I was suffocating after first lovely five minutes. This one is just right- for me.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do weighted blankets work?
The magical calming effect of a weighted blanket comes from something called Deep Touch Pressure (DTP) Therapy, which is the act of placing an even weight all over the body.
For little ones, it can help them to feel safer, and more secure – it’s like getting a comforting hug from your blanket! It can help make bedtimes less stressful, and lull your littles into a deep, blissful sleep.
Here’s what the science says about DTP:
- It increases serotonin, which makes you feel happier and more content
- It increases melatonin, which helps you to fall asleep
- It decreases cortisol, helping to reduce anxiety and stress
Can a 4-year-old use a weighted blanket?
Weighted blankets like Parent Tested Parent Approved Nappling are safe for children aged four years and older.
Using a weighted blanket for a toddler or a baby poses safety risks and we do not recommend using our weighted blanket for very young children.
What are the benefits of weighted blankets for kids?
The benefits of a weighted blanket for kids are rooted in the science of Deep Touch Pressure (DTP) Therapy. Like the soothing feeling of a warm hug or how a baby is soothed when swaddled, the DTP children experience when resting under a weighted blanket naturally helps comfort and calm them.
DTP is proven to increase serotonin levels. Serotonin naturally converts into melatonin, also known as our body’s sleep hormone. During naptime or bedtime, this natural conversion can do wonders in helping your child fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
If your child tends to be a sensory-seeker and has difficulty sleeping, a weighted blanket can be the perfect tool to help them calm down and naturally find better sleep over time.
How do you use a kids weighted blanket?
Kids can use weighted blankets in a variety of ways:
- During nap time
- During night time
- Draped over little laps when doing homework
If your child feels anxious, the “hugging” feeling of resting under a weighted blanket can bring about a greater sense of calm. Pull out a Nappling when your little one needs some downtime – Napplings pair great with a book on the couch!
