Parents share how their evenings changed with an Ella weighted blanket
Nothing is more convincing than another family that’s been through the same thing. That’s why this time, we’re letting the parents do most of the talking: on camera and in their own words, about what changed at home after getting a weighted blanket.

"It took him a little while to get used to it, but then..."
Not every child responds right away. Dominique says it took her son a few weeks before the difference really became noticeable.
"We bought a weighted blanket for our son, who is almost 7. It took him a little while to get used to it, but after a few weeks we noticed that he fell asleep faster and also felt safer in bed. His nights got longer, and he told us himself that he sleeps much better and falls asleep faster."

A good reason to complete the 30-night trial period: sometimes the effects only appear after a few weeks, not necessarily after the first night.

"The blanket helps her feel safe"
For some parents, a weighted blanket isn’t an experiment but has become a regular part of the evening routine. Farida’s daughter is 4 years old and has autism and a developmental delay.
"Our 4-year-old daughter has autism and a developmental delay and has been using a weighted blanket for a year. The blanket helps her feel safe, calm, and secure, especially when she’s overstimulated. Now that our daughter is older and weighs more, she uses a 3.5-kilo weighted blanket."

"She slept like a baby"
Rachel originally bought the blanket just for her daughter, but the results convinced the whole family.
"We really love the weighted blanket. We had no experience with one and bought this one for our daughter. She slept like a baby! So we’ve now ordered one for our big bed, too."

And a few more short but telling experiences
Not every review is long, but sometimes a few sentences are enough to show the difference.
"After two months, our daughter was still sleeping well under the blanket, and after six months a friend of ours couldn’t do without one either. So we bought one ourselves, too."

"Bought two weighted blankets, one for my son and one for myself. Wonderful, they make for such a good night’s sleep."

We share these stories because they’re real, not because a weighted blanket is a miracle cure. Has your child been sleeping poorly for months, or are you concerned about restlessness during the day? Also consult your GP or child health clinic. A weighted blanket may help your child calm down, but it isn’t a medical treatment.
