Minky Dot Weighted Throw: The Ultimate Couch Companion 🛋️⚖️
If you love the calming weight of a weighted blanket but want something more portable for movie nights or reading, our Weighted Throw is the perfect solution. At 7kg, it provides the same therapeutic Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS) as our larger blankets but in a size that’s easier to move from the bedroom to the lounge.
Why This Throw is a Sensory Favorite:
-
Dual-Textured Sensory Input: One side features the famous Minky Dot texture for tactile stimulation (perfect for grounding and "fidgeting"), while the other side is a buttery-smooth solid Minky.
-
Industry-Leading Distribution: We use the smallest 10cm pocket squares to ensure the 7kg of weight stays perfectly even across your body—no bunching, no shifting, just a consistent "hug."
-
The Perfect "In-Between" Size: At 122cm x 198cm, it’s large enough to cover your whole body on the couch without being as bulky or heavy as a full-sized bed blanket.
-
Easy Maintenance: Life happens! This throw is fully machine washable, so you can keep it fresh and clean even with daily use.
-
Stylish & Functional: Designed to look like a premium lounge accessory while doing the heavy lifting of reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation.
