Weighted Blanket
If your child needs help to calm down before bed or nap time, then the helping hand you need has arrived. The Moonboon Weighted Blanket can be used in a cot or bed, or even on the sofa before bed time to help your child find calm.
Constructed using our Secure Cell System, the blanket uses the weight of thousands of tiny glass spheres that are securely locked inside to provide gentle and evenly-spread weight to the body – a therapy known as Deep Touch Pressure (DTP). This method stimulates the proprioceptive system that helps your child relax and find calm. They will get to sleep faster and enjoy a better quality of sleep without interruptions.

The Weighted Blanket utilises Deep Touch Pressure (DTP) therapy – a method that stimulates the proprioceptive system using gentle weight. With this light pressure applied evenly to the body, it has a calming effect, which aids with falling into a natural sleep.
All Moonboon OCS-certified weighted products are tested to the highest standards and designed with child safety first and foremost. We created these products in collaboration with a team of Danish experts in the field of baby and child sleep.
A soft, organic outer cotton layer is combined with a polyester membrane, which is divided into small, secure compartments that contain the polyester fibre and small glass beads that provide the weight.
