Frequently Asked Questions

A sensory blanket is a type of blanket designed to support comfort, routine, and gentle sensory input through texture and warmth.

Unlike heavy weighted blankets, our sensory blankets are lightweight and woven, offering a calming, predictable feel without deep pressure or bulk. They’re designed through autistic lived experience for adults who prefer grounding textures or a steady, comforting presence in their space.

Sensory blankets can support autistic adults by:
• Reducing sensory overwhelm through predictable touch
• Encouraging relaxation during shutdowns or recovery time
• Supporting bedtime and wind-down routines
• Providing a sense of comfort, warmth, and emotional safety
• Supporting self-regulation without relying on deep pressure

These blankets aren’t therapeutic devices — they’re thoughtfully designed for everyday use.

Yes our calming blankets are soft and soothing, without heavy or restrictive weight:
• Designed for gentle comfort, not deep pressure therapy
• Ideal for those who find weighted blankets too intense
• Provide calm through tactile input and routine
• Lightweight enough for daily or overnight use

This makes our sensory blankets ideal for autistic adults or sensory-sensitive individuals who find weighted blankets too intense or restrictive. They offer comfort without overload.

• During solo downtime, reading, or working
• As part of a bedtime or masking recovery routine
• While traveling or decompressing after social events
• During shutdowns or sensory crashes

Our sensory blankets are created by autistic adults, with lived experience shaping every design choice. Rather than positioning them as therapeutic tools or one-size-fits-all solutions, these blankets focus on comfort, predictability, and everyday ease. Each piece is designed to feel considered, adult, and grounding — made for real-life use, not instruction or explanation.

These blankets form part of our broader approach to autism awareness merchandise, where understanding is expressed through design decisions rather than symbols or campaigns. From lightweight construction to calming colour palettes and simple finishes, every detail is chosen to support comfort without overstimulation or unrealistic claims.
