| Choose Fine Grade Stone Painstakingly cleaned, 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 not sand and is not crushed stone. It is natural hard river stone and is not sharp or porous. It will not wear through any of the four layers of blanket fabrics. It can't mildew as long as the blanket is washed after a spill. In case of fire, it is 100% fire proof and cannot give off any toxic fumes. Not recommended for children who might chew the blanket. Machine washable according to instructions provided. Line drying is recommended though machine drying is possible. |
| Or choose Polly Beads The most common fill for weighted blankets, Polly beads are clean and safe. By weight, even the densest 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 or for the highly concentrated weight of weighted vests , lap wraps, shoulder wraps, lap pads, or plush pounds. But blankets of 2 and 3 pounds are best weighted with Polly beads for the extra bulk. If you need more than 7 pounds of Polly bead weight please ask for a special order. Machine washable according to instructions provided. Line drying is recommended though machine drying is possible. |

| IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU ASK YOUR O.T. FOR FINAL WEIGHT ADVICE IN MOST CASES, THE GENERAL ADVICE 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 TENDS TO BE TOO UNCOMFORTABLE FOR ANY SIZE ADULT. THE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT ORDERED WILL BE SEWN INTO THE BODY AREA OF THE BLANKET AND SLIGHTLY CONCENTRATED TO THE CHEST AREA. THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE BLANKET WILL BE SLIGHTLY OVER THE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT ORDERED, DEPENDING ON THE BLANKET SIZE. IN LAP PADS & VESTS THE WEIGHT IS MORE CONCENTRATED AND ONLY 8% OR LESS OF THE USER'S WEIGHT IS USUALLY RECOMMENDED. |
