ABOUT WEIGHT MATERIALS FOR YOUR BLANKET OR OTHER WEIGHTED PRODUCTS
Choose Fine Grade Stone
Painstakingly cleaned. Coarser than sand this fine grade river stone is smooth, safe and dust free.  It is a much more
concentrated weight than Polly Beads and is therefore more effective for it's deep pressure effect.  River stone is
smooth and will not wear through fabrics.  It is all natural and non toxic as well as fire proof.  In case of fire, it can give
off no toxic fumes
Machine washable according to instructions provided. Line dry.
Or choose Poly Beads
The most common fill for weighted blankets, Polly Beads are clean and safe.  By weight, they are much lighter than
the fine grade stone so they make a bulkier fill.  For this reason, Polly beads are not recommended for weights over 7
pounds, for the highly concentrated weight of weighted vests or lap pads. But for blankets under 4 pounds, poly
beads may add needed bulk.
Machine washable according to instructions provided.  Line dry.

BLANKET WEIGHT RECOMMENDATIONS
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU ASK YOUR O.T. FOR FINAL  WEIGHT ADVICE

IN MOST CASES, THE GENERAL ADVISE IS THAT WEIGHT SHOULD BE NO MORE THAN 10 % OF THE WEIGHT
OF THE USER. YOU CAN ADD A POUND FOR BLANKET FOOTAGE THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE OVER THE
CHILD. FOLLOWING ARE SOME EXAMPLES:

A 50 POUND CHILD MAY NEED  5 POUNDS   PLUS ONE POUND FOR BLANKET FOOTAGE

75 POUND CHILD MAY NEED 7 AND 1/2 POUNDS PLUS ONE POUND FOR BLANKET FOOTAGE.

A YOUNG ADULT OF 140 POUNDS  MAY NEED 14 POUNDS PLUS 1 POUND FOR BLANKET FOOTAGE. ANY
MORE WEIGHT THAN THAT IS TOO UNCOMFORTABLE FOR ANY SIZE ADULT.

IN LAP PADS & VESTS THE WEIGHT IS MORE CONCENTRATED AND ONLY 8% OR LESS OF THE USERS
WEIGHT IS USUALLY RECOMMENDED.
CAUTION!
NEVER PLACE WEIGHTED GEAR OVER THE FACE OR USE DOUBLED.  NEVER USE WEIGHTED GEAR TO
CONFINE OR RESTRICT MOVEMENT. NEVER USE WEIGHTED GEAR WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION.  SALT OF
