Sensory weighted blankets

The sensory and tactile weighted blankets from Oliz/Koko-Nora, such as Manta, Morritz, Pilo, and the Lama Kokos, are designed to help children and people with dementia find calm, especially in resting or sleeping situations. It is the combination of weight and tactile stimulation that makes these products particularly effective.

For children aged 1–3 years, a weighted blanket can provide the same sense of comfort as a hand placed on the chest, which is often used to soothe a child. The weight of the blanket mimics this feeling by creating deep, consistent pressure that helps activate the body’s relaxation response. This makes the blankets calming for children, as they help reduce restlessness and promote a sense of security. Products such as the Manta Small, the Lama Kokos Small, and the Rhino Morritz provide tactile stimulation in different ways, tailored to the needs of young children.

For older children and adults, including… people with dementiaoffer the same benefits of weight. Blankets such as Sally, available in 4.5 kg and 6.5 kg versions, are ideal for individuals aged 4 and up, as they provide deeper stimulation through their weight. This can be especially effective for people with dementia, who often experience restlessness and have difficulty calming down. Sally is made of PU Hospitals, which makes it resistant to strong cleaning agents, making it ideal for environments where hygiene is essential.

All weighted blankets from Oliz/Koko-Nora are CE-marked and can be washed, making them both practical and safe. With weighted blankets for better sleep and children’s blankets for reducing restlessness, these products create a calm and secure sleeping environment for both children and adults.
