| 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 porous. It will not wear through blanket fabrics. It can't mildew as long as the blanket is kept clean. 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 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 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 poly beads for the extra bulk. If you need more than 7 pounds of poly bead weight please ask for a special order. Machine washable according to instructions provided. Line dry. |

| 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 TENDS TO BE 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. |

The fine grade river stone is a great product that is hard to produce
because of the time consuming screening and washing process. It is hard
stone - it is not sharp and it is clean and natural. It produces no fumes
and will not burn. It isn't sand or crushed stone. It's an ideal product.
As far as I know the only other products that are available are poly bead
which is not very heavy for it's bulk, or sand which can't be completely
cleaned, or steel shot which is expensive or lead shot which is toxic or
rice or beans which can't get wet.
