DreamCatcher™ Blankets,
with a patent pending design, specializes in making custom weighted
blankets for those who are comforted and benefited by them. We make larger
blankets ( up to king size) for sleep, in addition to wrap and lap
blankets, and lap pads which are smaller and used mainly as a calming
tool.
People
who have benefited from DreamCatcher™ Weighted Blankets include
children, teens and adults affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD,
ADD, PDD-NOS, Sensory Integration Disorder or have other sensory issues.
DreamCatcher™ weighted blankets have also been used with people
suffering from Alzheimer's, Restless Leg Syndrome, and Insomnia with good
results.
In addition, we have several customers who have purchased sleep
blankets who just have trouble sleeping and have found the blankets to be
an extremely helpful, natural drug free sleep aid.

How
does the DreamCatcher tm Weighted Blanket work?
In
researching and talking with many therapists, medical professionals
and experts in the sensory integration field, we have learned a great deal
about how and why weighted products work the way they do.
The very
short version of the theory behind how DreamCatcher™ weighted products
work, is the pressure supplied by the weight in our products , releases a
chemical in the brain, which naturally calms.

DREAMCATCHER
BLANKETS™ are preferred among the medical community.
"As
a child clinical psychologist, I have been recommending weighted blankets
and lap pads for my patients for many years in order to help with sleep
problems.
Not only are the blankets useful for children with Autistic
Spectrum Disorders and children with Attention Deficit Disorder, I have
found them to help children with anxiety disorders as well as children who
just have difficulty with falling asleep.
These blankets are
superior to others offered in that the weights do not shift, and the
workmanship is outstanding".
