Dinosaur throw weighted blanket - Clinically Informed Comfort for Better Sleep

The Boho Dinosaur Weighted Blanket is designed to support children who benefit from gentle deep pressure stimulation (DPS). DPS is commonly used in paediatric sensory support to help promote feelings of calm, body awareness, and relaxation, particularly during rest, quiet time, or sleep routines.

The evenly distributed 2.27 kg weight provides consistent, gentle pressure without restricting movement. This may assist children who experience sensory over-responsivity, restlessness, or difficulty settling, by supporting parasympathetic nervous system activity associated with relaxation.

Its breathable polyester construction allows for year-round use, while the smaller size makes it suitable for beds, sofas, car travel, and quiet spaces. The playful dinosaur design offers visual comfort and familiarity without overstimulation.

Machine washable and durable, this blanket is designed for practical daily use in family settings.
