Weighted Blanket Disclaimer & Usage Guide

At Vita Serena, we are committed to providing products that promote relaxation, comfort, and well-being. However, it is important to understand how to safely and effectively use a weighted blanket for the best results. The following guidelines will help you maximize its benefits while ensuring a smooth adaptation process.

1. Understanding Weighted Blankets

Our weighted blankets are designed to apply Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS), which can help promote relaxation, improve sleep quality, and reduce stress and anxiety. However, they should be used properly to ensure maximum comfort and safety.

2. Choosing the Right Weight

For optimal benefits and safety, your weighted blanket should generally be 8-12% of your body weight. For children or individuals with certain medical conditions, it is strongly recommended to consult a healthcare professional before use.

3. How to Adjust to a Weighted Blanket

Some individuals may need a short adjustment period before experiencing the full benefits of a weighted blanket. Follow these steps to ease into its use:

• Start with short sessions: Use the blanket for 30-60 minutes during relaxation periods (watching TV, reading, or meditating) before sleeping with it all night.
• Use it partially at first: If the full weight feels overwhelming, start by covering only your legs or lower body and gradually increase coverage.
• Give it time: Your body may take a few nights to two weeks to fully adjust to the added weight.

4. Best Practices for Use

• Even Distribution: Ensure the blanket is evenly spread over your body for consistent pressure. Avoid folding or bunching it up.
• Proper Placement: Keep the blanket below the shoulders and never cover the face or head.
• Monitor Comfort Levels: If you feel restricted or uncomfortable, consider switching to a lighter weight.

5. Safety Considerations

• Not recommended for infants or children under 3 years old.
• Individuals with respiratory, circulatory, or mobility issues should consult a doctor before use.
• Never use a weighted blanket if it causes discomfort, overheating, or difficulty moving.

6. Care & Maintenance

To keep your blanket in the best condition:

• Use a removable or hand washable cover for easy maintenance.
• Spot-clean small stains and follow manufacturer washing instructions for the inner blanket.
• Avoid excessive heat when drying to preserve fabric quality and weight distribution.
