Incentive

This weighted blanket can help reduce restlessness, anxiety, and overstimulation, making it particularly beneficial in environments such as sensory and Snoezelen rooms, where sensory input and relaxation are essential. Sally can be used in several ways — lying on the back with the blanket placed over the stomach, chest, or legs, or lying on the side, where the blanket gently wraps around the body. This makes Sally a versatile blanket that adapts to different needs and preferences.

What does the weight in Sally do to the body?

Weighted blankets like Sally are particularly beneficial for people with sensory challenges, as they provide a calming effect on the nervous system and increase body awareness. The weight also stimulates the proprioceptive sense and releases oxytocin, the body’s natural stress-relieving hormone.

Ease of use

Sally is made from hospital-grade PU material, making it highly resistant to strong cleaning agents such as disinfectants and alcohol — an important feature in professional environments where hygiene is essential. The blanket is also easy for staff to handle, as it can be folded effortlessly and placed on top of a regular duvet. Sally is an ideal choice when looking for a weighted blanket that promotes calm and well-being without feeling claustrophobic. Please make sure to read the information provided with Sally. If you are unsure whether the blanket is right for you, we are happy to offer guidance on its use and recommend consulting professional staff for advice on how to use the product safely with the user.

Testimonial:

“My 8-year-old daughter has ADHD – the kind where the ‘H’ really stands out. She’s full of drive, energy, and creativity, but unfortunately that also comes with a lot of restlessness when her brain needs to wind down. At bedtime, there are always a thousand things that suddenly need to be done, her legs hurt, or her body just won’t stay still. After borrowing a traditional weighted blanket, I searched online for weighted products and came across Oliz/Koko-Nora.”
All of their products immediately caught my attention; they are beautifully designed, fun, and inviting, without clearly signaling “assistive aid” – which is important for my daughter when she’s with her peers.
After a visit with Majbritt and Thomas, my daughter chose the weighted blanket “Sally.” Sally is used in the evenings to wrap around my daughter — in just about every possible and impossible position — giving a heavy, comforting hug until she quickly falls asleep.
My daughter’s calmness has improved significantly, and the time it takes her to fall asleep has been greatly reduced since Sally joined the family. My daughter doesn’t feel different when she brings Sally to her friends’ houses – on the contrary, she’s happy that they’re almost a little jealous.
The service we received from Oliz/Koko-Nora, along with their knowledge and unique approach to families like ours — who are not “like most” — is something we would recommend to anyone. As a professional myself, my daughter’s use of their products has also opened my eyes to the many possibilities this kind of work can offer.
