Experience the calming benefits of deep pressure therapy with the Playlearn Large Weighted Blanket - 5kg, thoughtfully designed to support sensory integration and emotional regulation. Crafted from soft tactile velour in a soothing grey tone, this generously sized 1.5m x 2m blanket provides full-body proprioceptive input that can help reduce stress, ease anxiety, and promote restful sleep.

Ideal for children and adults with Autism, ADHD or Sensory Processing Disorder, this weighted blanket applies gentle, evenly distributed pressure across the body, simulating a comforting hug. Whether used at night, during quiet time in the classroom, or in calming sensory spaces, it's an effective tool for helping sensory seekers feel grounded and secure.
