Kokos is specially designed for people who often suffer from physical stress or restlessness. The weighted blanket can help to calm the body in stressful situations. The weighting of the blanket in combination with its long and weighted body provides relief, calmness and security for people with irritability, tension and sleep problems. Children, adults and also elderly people with dementia can benefit from the use of this weighted blanket. Kokos helps to calm down users who have a lot of restlessness in the body.

The weighted blanket helps prevent overstimulation and offers security and safety through its weight and shape. It has been proven that weighted products such as these are effective in reducing tension and help to calm down and sleep better.

It is good to use the weighted blanket when the client is in a stressful situation and needs a time-out. Place the blanket on the user's duvet and enjoy the pressure, this will help the body relax.

The weighted Llama can easily be placed on the stomach of the user. Lay the (weighted) neck all over the shoulder, this gives a weighted feeling which makes the user relax completely. Kokos is easy to use on the lap, but also in bed. It is also possible to lay the weighted blanket across the body, in this way Kokos can directly be cuddled. This gives the user a weighted "cuddly" feeling. The possibilities with Kokos are endless...

This weighted article is smaller than a “standard” weight blanket, but we also experience benefits from this. A large weighted blanket is not always pleasant, some users will feel cooped up in it. This will make place for a negative reaction, preventing the user from settling down. It is even possible to lay Kokos across the user, so that the locked-in feeling is minimised even further.

This weighted blanket is more personal than a “normal” weight blanket; due to its beautiful, calming and cuddly appearance, this weighted product spreads more warmth and bonding to its users than our functional weighted blankets. When someone feels safe and at ease with a weighted product such as this, a sense of security and calm is the result.

For demented elderly people, Kokos can be seen as a friend or pet, but for children with (multiple) disabilities, Kokos can also be seen as a buddy or cuddly friend. When someone feels safe and at ease with a weighted product like this, a sense of security and calmness is created.

FAQs Weighted blanket Kokos - Large (3,7 kg)

What weight should I choose for a weighted blanket?

A good guideline is to choose a weighted blanket that is about 10% to 15% of the user's body weight.

The blanket should apply enough pressure to provide a calming effect, but not be so heavy that it restricts movement.

When in doubt, it's safer to start with a slightly lighter blanket.

At which target groups is it possible to use Kokos?

Kokos is suitable for several target groups and situations, including:
- Insomnia
- Depression, tension and stress
- Autism
- Dementia
- ADD and ADHD
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Why is it so expensive to buy this weighted product?

Kokos is not cheap, but it is very functional, it gives a secure feeling and it has a nicer appearance which creates more warmth than an ordinary weighting.

Where are the weights of Kokos placed?

The weights of this product are placed all over the blanket. We recommend to shake this weighted product once in a time, to spread the weights.

How can I easily move the weight blanket?

We recommend to move the blanket with care and caution. Do not drag the weighted product across the floor, this can cause damage.

Is it possible to wash out Kokos?

Kokos can be washed in the washing machine, for protection of Kokos we recommend to put Kokos in a pillow case, so you can properly protect Kokos.
The weighting elements must be removed before washing. Wash at 40 degrees, gentle cycle. If Kokos changes shape after washing, he can be reshaped with your hands.

Can Kokos be used with all target groups?

Kokos is immediately appreciated at many target groups; people cuddle with the llama and the user relaxes completely. Please bear in mind that a weighted article could give a different reaction by each user. In case of a negative reaction, we recommend to place the weighted blanket next to the user for a while and not on top of him. By introducing the weighted blanket slowly, the user gets used to the weight and shape of the blanket.
