A: While researching weighted therapy for sleep and calming, our design team talked with many therapists, medical professionals and experts in the sensory integration field. We have learned a great deal about how and why weighted products work the way they do.  The theory behind how our weighted products work is simple.  The pressure supplied by the weight in our products releases a chemical in the brain.  This process provides natural relaxation and relief from many symptoms a child and/or an adult may experience when dealing with the multiple disorders that affect the sensory system.

A: People benefitting from our blankets include children, teens and adults affected by Sensory Integration Disorder, Autism, ADHD, ADD, Cerebral Palsy,Blindness and other sensory issues.  Our weighted blankets also benefit those suffering from Stress, Anxiety, Alzheimer's and Restless Leg Syndrome. Many customers purchasing our blankets, contact us with complaints of insomnia and difficulty relaxing. They have found the blankets to be an extremely helpful,  natural, and a drug free sleep aid.

A: The front of our blanket contains diverse, tactile, aesthetically pleasing fabrics for all of   the senses.  The back is a soft, top-quality, lightweight cotton, quilting fleece.  The weighting inside each blanket is organic, non-porous, finest grade polished river rock.  Each blanket is finished with a  sturdy, raised trim, adding to it's durability.  As an added bonus, each blanket is made to fit your specific needs and is individually created and crafted based on your specifications.  Finally, all blankets can be machine washed and dried. 

A: Weighted vests were designed to provide deep pressure and proprioceptive input (the unconscious awareness of sensations coming from receptor's in one's joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments.) Adding weight to the child's body calms them, leading to a calmer thought process. This calmer thought process helps them make logical sense of their environment.

A: SOS Blankets targets all sensory concerns in one product. The multi-textured blankets can be customed designed for hypersensitivity as well as hyposensitivity. The removable weight packets are designed not only for custom weighting, all over weighting and easy removal, but provide the auditory sensory stimulation much like a holistic rain stick. The aesthetically pleasing array of colors and fabrics indulge all the visual and tactile senses. Completing the package is the easy care and handling. Just machine wash and dry.
