Weighted blankets have been especially popular for adults within the last few years, especially as the extra weight is said to have a calming effect that's helpful for reducing stress and anxiety—and Bearaby is now introducing a weighted blanket for kids. Based on its signature product, the Napper, Bearaby created a smaller and lighter version called the Nappling. While the adult-sized weighted blanket comes in at a hefty 25 pounds, the kid-friendly version weights just eight pounds in comparison and offers a similarly calming experience for smaller users.
The vegan-friendly weighted blanket for kids is beneficial for keeping warm sleepers cool and it boasts a machine-washable design that's made from organic cotton and filler-free. As Bearaby describes, the high-end, hand-knitted weighted blanket is "cocoonable, couch-worthy perfection."
