Juliet Nice wrote a new post, Weighted Quilts and nekkid mermaids 7 years, 6 months ago

Thank you, useful and you have reminded me that my daughter would like one of these, I rather fancy the idea as well.

Have heard a lot about weighted quilts, have had friends ask me to make them, but the research about child weight to quilt weight was a step too far for my calculator & brain. I have heard it helps with SEN (Special Educational Needs) pupils, but was not prepared to endanger them (some of my friends children) by getting it wrong. So why is weight important, why is it soothing? I do the opposite in the winter, heavy down winter quilt goes on and I get pains in my feet, cramps in my legs, breathlessness, because of the weight, unable to cope with the weight, I throw the wretched thing off & get a towel from the bathroom as a blankie so I don’t freeze 🙁
