Frequently Asked Questions

A sensory blanket is a type of blanket designed to support regulation, focus, and comfort by providing gentle tactile input. Unlike heavy weighted blankets, our sensory blankets are lightweight and woven, offering just enough pressure to soothe without overstimulation. They’re especially helpful for autistic adults who benefit from routine, grounding textures, or a calming 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
• Helping with self-regulation without relying on deep pressure

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