Large Shoulder Neck Pack: 2.3kg. 52 x 34 cm. This pack has a cut-out section, so it sits comfortably on either a child or adult's shoulders. Can be used with primary school students. Great for improving concentration while sitting in class. I have found this is the most therapeutically effective, and most popular weighted product I currently sell.

Weighted blanket small

100% WASHABLE!
Our Weighted Blankets consist of a heavy cotton calico insert covered with a 100% Cotton Drill cover. Ties in the corners secure the insert to the cover and ensure that the weight stays spread evenly across the blanket. Part of the weight is permanently sewn in, while extra weights can be added or removed from velcro closing pockets.
Built in weight of 2kg on perimeter of blanket, plus 800 grams of extra weights to add in as needed into inside pockets across the blanket as desired. (Total weight included = 2.9kg, including material weight.) Pocket openings secured by Velcro.
Weighted Blankets can be an aid to deep pressure touch stimulation (DPTS). This is believed to release a chemical in the brain, which naturally calms. They can be used to provide a calming soothing effect for almost any agitated person. Research internationally has demonstrated that a weight of 5-10% of a persons body weight is effective in relaxing or creating a feeling of calm.
An additional postage charge will apply due to the extra shipping costs due to the bulk and weight. Please contact us for a shipping and handling quote.

Testimonials
Debbie gave us a wheat pack to trial for a week at home and in the classroom. It was unbelievable to see the change in Brian's concentration level within the therapy session when the pack was first introduced and even more amazing to see him use it at home and be able to sit for longer periods of time and concentrate on various tasks. Brian's teacher also commented on the benefits of the wheat pack within the classroom environment and said it would be money well spent as it defiantly assisting his concentration in learning new tasks and focusing for longer periods of time. Excellent invention!
