While our patterned cotton covers are highly breathable and evenly regulate body temperature, the Hush Iced Cooling cover actively cools whoever uses it. It’s made with viscose bamboo, an organic material that is naturally cool to the touch and moisture-wicking.The fabric draws away moisture and evaporates it, a process which cools the body the same way sweating does. Plus, its antibacterial properties means it doesn’t absorb moisture or smell.

Since it’s always colder than room temperature it’s always pleasant to touch, helping your child stay asleep instead of waking up due to overheating during the night.

All our covers are easily removable and machine-washable. Simply unzip, put it in a cold wash, and hang dry for best results! And if hang dry isn't an option, no worries: try tumble dry on low heat. Even better, the naturally antibacterial fabric keeps away smells and bacteria, so it stays cleaner longer. Plus, it resists wrinkles, doesn’t pill, and gets softer with each wash. 

As for the inner weighted insert: it won’t need cleaning as often as the cover, but is still cleanable! We recommend hand-washing, and then hang to dry. 

Our cooling cover is made from viscose bamboo. A big part of what makes this material so good is that, as you might suspect, it's made from bamboo. Bamboo is incredibly fast growing, tall, and regrows once cut, meaning it doesn't need to be re-planted once harvested. Both these facts make it a highly renewable resource, and means it doesn't take up as much space as a typical cotton crop might.

It also requires little to no pesticides or fertilizers and uses little water, minimizing negative environmental impact from crops. Common crops like cotton are infamously water-hungry, resulting in the diversion and draining of natural water resources in many countries. They also require more pesticides and other agrochemicals, negatively impacting the environment in and around the crop. Bamboo's ability to thrive with little interference, and its impressive ability to regrow, makes it a very sustainable crop.

'Viscose' refers to the process that makes bamboo into cloth. Cellulose is extracted from the bamboo in chips, and then treated with solvents to break it down into something that can be spun into fiber. The solution used to treat those chips is called a 'viscose' solution.

Our Classic cover is made from Minky fabric, a high quality polyester microfiber that’s fully hypoallergenic, and incredibly soft. It’s made from the best polyester fibers, creating something softer than fleece and silkier than other synthetics. It’s also long-lasting and low maintenance; it’ll stay soft and plush instead of growing threadbare, and can be put through the wash for a clean. Just make sure to hang dry or dry on low. Helpfully, it also dries quickly and resists stains.

It’s often used with children’s stuffed animals, for the hypoallergenic properties but also the softness and longevity. You may already have felt it as a child with a favourite toy; which is why it’s perfect for a  stress-relieving blanket cover. When combined with the gentle weight of our blankets, these covers feel like a teddy bear hug.  

The gentle, even pressure of a weighted blanket mimics a therapeutic technique called Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS). This technique relaxes your nervous system, slowing your breathing, heart rate, and lowering your blood pressure. This relaxation alleviates anything keeping you up — whether that’s stress, anxiety, or anything else — and helps you get to sleep, stay asleep, and feel rested when you wake up. It works for everyone, but is particularly useful for individuals with:

Anxiety
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Autism
Chronic Pain
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Restless Leg Syndrome
Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)
Sleep disorders

Sleep is important for anyone, but especially for kids. It’s an important building block for physical and mental health, and a key part in their growth. It:

Helps kids grow. While kids sleep their pituitary gland releases the growth hormone that helps them grow big and strong, which chronic sleep issues can interfere with.

Keeps kids fit. Poor sleep has also been linked to obesity, either because the hormones that control appetite don’t get properly released in a body without enough sleep, or because a tired child simply doesn’t want to be active.

Boosts immunity. Sleep strengthens the immune system, meaning poor sleep can result in greater vulnerability to illnesses and infection.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, as many as 25 - 50% of kids experience sleep problems. Tackling these sleep issues can be hard, and we want to do our part to make it easier. 

There are a few ways our blankets are different from other weighted blankets. First, we've got the highest range of size, weights, and cover options in all of Canada. We're conscientious with our materials and make, so you get quality as well as options. We do our best to use environmentally friendly and sustainable materials whenever we can, which benefits you as well as the environment, as we make sure to make our products non-toxic.

Many weighted blankets use plastic pellets for their weighted inserts. These are usually overlarge, making for a clunky and uncomfortable blanket, noisy, and made with toxic materials. Ours use glass beads; fully non-toxic, so tiny its basically fine, smooth sand, and very quiet.

With more than 100,000 reviews, our blankets are some of the best weighted blankets out there. Our attention to detail and priority on making a quality product carries over to everything we make, and we think you can feel the difference.
