Weighted blanket child 9 years – peace and comfort for every night
Looking for a weighted blanket for your child? A good night's sleep is essential, especially for growing children. Our collection of weighted blankets for 9-year-old children is specially designed to provide a sense of safety, security, and deep relaxation. Whether your child has trouble falling asleep, often wakes up, or needs extra rest after a busy day – a weighted blanket for children can help.
These blankets work based on deep pressure stimulation: a calming technique that helps the body relax, reduces stress, and improves sleep quality. The result? A rested child who can concentrate better and starts the day with more energy.
What makes our weighted blankets suitable for 9-year-olds?
Children around 9 years old have specific needs. Our weighted blankets take into account the weight, height, and comfort of children in this age group. We recommend a blanket that weighs about 10% of the body weight – on average between 3 and 5 kg for a 9-year-old. This provides balanced pressure without a feeling of suffocation.
Our blankets are made from soft, breathable materials that are both warm and ventilating. Buy a nice cover so your child really feels at home in it. Whether it's a neutral shade or a playful pattern – there's something for everyone.
What weight of weighted blanket does my child need?
The same rule applies to children as for adults regarding the weight of weighted blankets: take about 10% of the body weight as a starting point. Many occupational therapists recommend adding 0.5 kg to 1 kg to this.
* Suitable when your child is too big for a 100 x 150 cm weighted blanket. Because the weight of the 6 kg weighted blanket is distributed over a larger surface, it is not too heavy to sleep under.
