Weighted blankets

Many of my clients have been recommended weighted blankets by their occupational therapist.  Weighted blankets are typically recommended for children that have difficulties sleeping or require deep pressure for comfort and relaxation.  One of my clients relies on deep pressure to calm him down when he is anxious.

The one thing I have noticed is weighted blankets are very expensive.  They cost around €200.  I have been doing some research as one of my clients requires a blanket but at a more affordable price.  The best prices I can find are on E-Bay:

You can get a blanket for around €100 including postage and packaging.  Happy sleeping!
