Upcoming Review on SensaCalm Weighted Blankets

Oh.... how I long for another weekend! It's almost here and I have oooodles of blogging to do. One of the articles I'm currently working on features a family favorite supplier (our family that is!) of custom-made weighted blankets for adults and children with sensory issues.

Weighted blankets help many people with special needs relax like nothing else. Adults and children suffering from developmental disabilities such as autism often benefit from the deep pressure of a heavy blanket when overly stimulated or when tensions are high. My little guy (well, he's 5' now) received his weighted blanket nearly a year ago from what was then Affordable Weighted Blankets. They've recently changed their name to SensaCalm and added a handful of new products to their website.

Recently I contacted Donna with SensaCalm to give her an update about J-man. He's still using and loving his custom-made blanket and occasionally I sneak up to his room to rest underneath it too! lol There have been a couple days when I'd had some tense moments with another family member and the blanket seriously helped me to de-stress! That experience made my heart smile... as I felt what I imagined to be a mere fraction of what my son must feel at night while sleeping.

J-man sleeps beneath his blanket nearly every night. He absolutely loves it too.  He chose fabric featuring the solar system on one side of his blanket and a lime green underside. The green was a surprise to me, but it's what he wanted! lol That's what these blankets are all about. The customer chooses the fabric and the blankets are weighted based on his or her body weight.

I'll share more about the blanket and this company when my full review is published! Stay tuned!
