Used in occupational therapy to provide a therapeutic comforting hug-like pressure over the full body. This model is suitable for a wide range of size and body weights. Ultimately, it is personal preference what weight is right for you. The old adage of 10% of your weight is simply a guideline. Our square pouch design contains EXTRA FINE glass or sand pellets (semantics in this case) to maintain even distribution of the pressure and avoid the bulky look, texture and unpleasant feeling of poly pellets like many other brand's use. Deep touch pressure or DTP for short is the method by which the weighted blankets function. This pressure provides a release of serotonin that results in a calming sensation. They first gained popularity in the treatment of Aspergers Syndrome and have since seen expanded usage for other disorders such as insomnia, OCD, and bipolar disorder among other common ailments.
