The Little Blanket Shop

We are a husband and wife team who created this brand because of our love of weighted blankets. As an NHS doctor and a mother of three children I have seen first hand how weighted blankets can help children rest. A weighted blanket is exactly that, a blanket filled with tiny pockets of non-toxic micro-beads created to be around 10% of you or your child's body weight. Weighted blankets have been clinically proven to help you fall asleep and feel less anxious. The evenly distributed heaviness each weighted blanket provides is known as Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT). This mimics the sensation of being hugged and subsequently encourages your brain to release two very important hormones. The production of Serotonin (or happy hormone) helps you feel calm and relaxed but is also causes the release of Melatonin which helps us feel sleepy. Doctors and Occupational therapists have used weighted blankets for years in those with anxiety or autism. However, it has recently come to light that everyone can benefit form this scientifically proven wellness product. The Little Blanket Shop specialises in contemporary designs using high quality, non-toxic materials. We are the only UK weighted blanket company to offer matching pillowcases and a personalisation service. Each of our blankets come in multiple sizes and weights to make choosing the right blanket for you easy. Since launching in 2020 we have bene nominated for a MadeforMums Award 2021 in the best sleep aid category, as well as featured on This Morning and many of the top weighted blanket lists the most recent of which was The Evening Standard. We are a brand designed by parents for parents and we look forward to helping families rest better.
