For deep, peaceful nights
Let your child drift off under our signature weighted blanket, specially made for children. The glass beads distribute evenly across the body, as if it were being gently embraced. Thanks to the 10x10 cm stitched pockets, the beads stay exactly in place, even on a small body, no matter how restless the night begins.
Fall asleep faster, feel more deeply rested
The gentle pressure has a natural effect. It is Deep Pressure Stimulation (in other words: deep pressure stimulation), a proven technique that calms the nervous system. Your baby falls asleep faster and stays longer in the deep sleep that a growing body needs.
Tough where it needs to be, gentle on your skin
Firm enough to relax in, soft enough to never feel restrictive. The OEKO-TEX-certified material feels wonderfully soft, night after night.

FAQs
After a day full of playing, learning, and discovering, there’s nothing better for your little one than unwinding, relaxing, and drifting off to a wonderfully carefree sleep. Yet many children lie awake at night or toss and turn restlessly. This is often caused by too much stimulation or restlessness in their little bodies.
We’ve come up with a solution that doesn’t involve using sleep medication. Discover the calming sensation of Ella’s weighted blankets for children.
What is a weighted blanket for children?
A weighted blanket for children is a specially designed blanket that is heavier than a standard blanket. It usually contains small weights; in the case of the Ella blankets, these are small hypoallergenic glass beads that are distributed evenly throughout the blanket. The purpose of this weighted blanket is to provide deep pressure stimulation, which has a calming and relaxing effect on your child’s body.
A weighted blanket for children is the same as a regular blanket, but weighs considerably more. Your child experiences deep physical pressure (Deep Pressure Stimulation), which helps them sleep better. You can compare it to a firm, warm hug.
Our weighted blanket for children consists of 7 layers. It is filled with glass beads in the middle. The weight of the beads creates the pressure. They look a little like sand. The granules are sewn into separate, smaller compartments that are distributed evenly across the blanket—perfectly suited to a child’s body.
How does a weighted blanket work for children?
The cheerful blanket applies gentle, even pressure to your baby’s body, similar to a firm hug. This stimulates the nervous system and may help promote the release of serotonin and melatonin, neurotransmitters that play a role in regulating mood and sleep. It may also reduce the release of cortisol, the stress hormone. Your baby therefore experiences a sense of security and calm.
What weight is suitable for my child?
The rule of thumb for choosing the right weight for a children's weighted blanket is to select 9% to 12% of your child's body weight. We have created a table below so you can easily see which blanket is the best fit:
Body weight Blanket
90×120 cm
15 to 25 kg 2.4KG
100×150 cm
25 to 40 kg 3.2KG
100×170 cm
40 to 60 kg 4.5KG

Why does your child sleep better with a weighted blanket for kids?
Research shows that people experience a sense of security when they are swaddled, just like a baby. The feeling of a heavier, enveloping blanket causes the body to produce serotonin and endorphins, hormones that the body produces to calm and relax itself. This is why a weighted blanket for children helps your child’s brain relax and experience complete rest.
In the past, weighted blankets were mainly used as a therapeutic aid. Fortunately, more and more parents are discovering that using a heavy blanket is comforting and can contribute to a good night’s sleep for their child. Currently, Ella’s weighted blankets for children are already helping thousands of children enjoy better sleep.
Can a weighted blanket help children with sleep problems, overstimulation, or anxiety?
Yes, this can certainly help with sleep problems, overstimulation, and anxiety in your child. The deep-pressure stimulation provided by weighted blankets for children can promote a sense of calm and relaxation, making it easier for your child to fall asleep and stay asleep. A feeling of security reduces restlessness and anxiety—exactly what a child needs after a day full of stimulation.

Weighted blanket
We purchased a weighted blanket for our son, who is nearly 7. It took him a little while to get used to it, but after a few weeks we noticed that he fell asleep more quickly and also felt safer in bed. His nights became longer, and he said himself that he sleeps much better and falls asleep faster.
Good service
Accidentally ordered the wrong size of the mattress topper, but customer service helped me promptly and courteously. An appointment with the delivery driver was scheduled in no time to return the topper. Easy and hassle-free. I ordered the correct size again because I thought the quality was quite good. I even received a free sleep mask — excellent service!
Slept really well!
What a wonderfully comfortable mattress topper! I never would have thought that sleeping on a topper could be so comfortable! I mainly relied on the reviews on Bol.com when choosing Ella! Well, here’s another excellent review from me! Waking up refreshed in the morning is blissful!!! Thank you, Ella! Jeannine Ogiers, 76 years old
A solid 5!
A solid 5! Fast delivery, and I got a lot of use out of my pregnancy pillow. Unfortunately, it broke a little. But the customer service team helped me incredibly well and immediately sent a replacement without any hassle. Very grateful. Great value for money 🙏
Nice weighted blanket
Nicely evenly weighted, yet still thin, and it drapes around your body just as smoothly as a regular duvet. The cotton cover is incredibly soft—it feels like satin. I got rid of my old weighted blanket right away.
