Weighted Sensory Blankets
Introducing Koolnit Sensory Blankets
Koolnit Blankets, the coolest sensory blanket on the market. This blanket provides proprioceptive feedback and stability. Made of lightweight polyester, mesh material that is soft, comfortable, and completely washable. They are designed to be used with Weight Sets and other sensory items, in a therapy setting or at home. Small channels run diagonally along the length of the blankets for the weight strips and larger channels allow other sensory items to be safely placed within them. A hidden strip of hook and loop is located at the end of the blankets, allowing them to be folded in half and secured, providing overlap of sensory input. Hook material is located on both ends of the weight channels, helping to keep the weights in place. Weight sets are sold separately, allowing the therapist to choose the desired Weight Set needed.
New: To assist with putting the weights into the blanket, we have supplied 2 inch pieces of plush material located in a small pocket on the blanket. These plush pieces can be placed over the hook material located at the end of the weight channels, allowing free movement of the weights a crossed the hook material.
If a client initially resists the Blanket, the problem could be resistance to tactile input; too much or too little weight. For tactile problems, place a sheet between the client and the wrap or blanket. To determine if there is too much weight, reduce the total weight by removing weight strips evenly along the Blanket until it is accepted. If there is not enough weight, consider a heavier weight set. Customer feedback also indicates that 10% of the clients’ weight is normally being used successfully.
