SensoryCritters.com provides machine and hand crafted pieced top sewn to the weighted center and back for extra durability for years of wear and tear. Our seamstresses have been sewing and quilting for over 150 years combined and have sewn for major corporations. Only quality fabric is used when a pieced weighted blanket or weighted blanket is created.

SensoryCritters.com understands that having a weighted blanket provides comfort and a calming sense but we also know that just because you require weight in your bedding doesn't mean they can't be beautiful and durable.

SensoryCritters.com weighted blankets are created with a special heavy duty cotton weighted material that has been tested that does not lose its weight after washing and is sewn directly into the actual blanket to create a safe, weight effective, cost effective, wash and dry product that does not require removing anything from your weighted blanket or quilted weighted blanket in order to care for it.

The amount of weight when choosing a weighted blanket or a pieced top weighted blanket is normally looked at 10% of the persons body weight plus 1 pound. Your weighted blanket will arrive within 3-5 weeks. If you have questions about placing an order you can contact us now.

Care of Your Pieced Top Weighted Blanket

Washing of your Pieced Top Weighted Blanket should be done in COLD water on delicate wash with COLD rinse with a mild detergent. If you don't want any shrinkage, you should lay your quilted top blanket flat to dry. If your not concerned with shrinkage and you wash in warm water and dry in your dryer, be prepared as your pieced top blanket will shrink up to 1" overall. Your weighted blanket will become softer with each wash. We don't use poly pellets in our blankets so you do not have to worry about having the lining clog your washer and dryer!

Time Line

Time Line of your Pieced Top Weighted Blanket will range from 3-4 weeks depending on the number of pieced top weighted blankets in front of your order and what you are ordering will make a difference too. If you order a pieced top weighted blanket from our site with no custom requests, the creation is likely to be shipped to you within 3-4 weeks. All custom orders can take 3-6 weeks unless a rush charge is paid up front. Rush charge is an additional $75.00 per blanket regardless if it is pieced top or weighted blanket due to the number of orders that we receive weekly.

Shipping

Shipping of your Pieced Top Weighted Blanket will be based on the size and weight of your weighted blanket and will be mailed through the U.S.P.S. unless you want to pay for UPS. We do have an account with UPS and each shipment will be quoted based on where you are located and the weight and number of items being shipped to your location. If you e-mail us and let us know that you wish to have your weighted blanket shipped UPS we will take your order and calculate your shipping and will e-mail you back for approval prior to running your credit card payment. Please e-mail us with any questions you may have.

Oh my Gosh. I just received your blanket and it is not only GORGEOUS and perfectly stitched but SO heavy!!!! Gage ADORES his blanket. He can be full-throttle- 100% Autistic tantrum, get the "Thomas Blanket" ( which he and I refer to as his "safe place), and he goes instantly calm. I know they say that there is no cure for Autism, but this is as close as I have seen to a true miracle. I cannot thank you enough and I am SO glad I made the choice to get a handmade Sensory Critters blanket then a mass market. I know it sounds corny but I feel (and I think Gage feels) that it was made by someone with love.
Our evenings have quickly become ritual under the blanket reading stories, then to bed. His sleep has been totally undisturbed now. You are an angel.
As soon as things calm down and my house guests go away I would be honored to write a glowing recommendation. Please let me know if I can do anything for you or your family, as you have done so much for mine. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your work is amazing. A very happy Momma, Barb

We got the blanket on Saturday. Thank you! We came home from Andy's birthday party and it was waiting on the porch for us. Talk about perfect timing; he was all wound up from the party and cake. I got it out of the box and he immediately crawled under it. He calls it his "turtle blanket"...he feels like a turtle under it. ; ) And today, all wound up from gymnastics and a run to the grocery store, he went up and crawled under it again. Not noticing more sleep yet, but it was a big weekend, with his birthday, grandparents visiting, and Easter. Oy, the sugar! LOL But he loves the blanket and certainly feels safe under it. He gets under it when he knows he's wound up. Ten minutes or so and he's much better. Thank you so much! I think this is going to help! Oh, and BTW, the quality is amazing. I love it! Jen

All of the items are top-notch and our son likes them. Using them definitely helps to calm him and it seems like he might be more focused. Going to try it at the Speech Therapists office tomorrow to see if it helps with the focus. I will let you know more when we have used them longer, just too early to tell. Thank you for the great products! Craig - NE FL

"For 3.5 years we have not been able to tuck our son in with his goodnight kiss. Tonight for the first time ever because of you, our son was tucked in with that kiss. This has been so hard for us, we had to put a heater in his room and heat it separately to maintain the temperature he needed because he would not allow anything on top of him.

Costing us many nights of electricity we could not afford. Every night since he has got his blanket when we lay him in his bed at night, he reaches for it before we even do. He pulls it all on top of him and sleeps so much better. We are so content knowing that he is covered now we have removed the heater. Thank you for helping our son and our family. You truly make the BEST blankets. God bless you. Kelly Noble

"I wanted you to know that my children received their quilts and weighted blanket on Christmas morning! For my son Jacob you had made a weighted quilted blanket with primary colors and the alphabet. Well since Jacob received his weighted blanket he has carried it around with him (and mind you its a large blanket) he has carried it everywhere, played on it, sat with it and has been sleeping better ever since! The weighted quilted blanket that you made for Jacob is of the best quality and originality that I have ever seen! The blanket has saved us! We now all get to sleep a whole night and Jacob takes A LOT less longer to fall asleep! My son Matthew also received a blanket and he too carries his around with him, what's even funnier is he has to have his blanket UNDER his sheet at night to sleep! He loves it! I also ordered a non weighted quilt for my daughter Sarah and she adores her quilt and I am thrilled with how beautiful and durable the quilt is! Thank you SensoryCritters.com for the blankets that you make and the work that you do for children with autism and sensory issues!" Sincerely, Keri Mosley

"I ordered my daughters blanket for Christmas, the night the blanket arrived I hid it until she crawled into bed, closed her eyes, and I laid the blanket on top of her; her gasp of pleasure and the smile on her face was incredible! When packing for our flight - out she comes dragging the blanket begging to bring it to mom-moms. so we took two HUGE suitcases. SHE'S IN HEAVEN!!! thank you! and it's GORGEOUS. even Mom-Mom's impressed. ;0)"

"Stunning, stunning work! My son's has the solar system on it, and my daughter has princesses. Quilters went out and looked for the right fabric and then in the blink of an eye (well, almost!) I have them!!! I really and truly don't know what I would do without these. You guys are miracles! Thanks so much. Please post this letter. Everyone should be as lucky as I to deal with such wonderful people!!! And by the way......the blankets and lap pad are EXACTLY what you had described.....beautiful!!!" Sincerely, Jennifer B Illinois

Just to let you know....Josh may never see that blanket :) It is soooooo warm and cozy, I ended up sleeping under it last night!! I am sure he will love it, after I am done with it...ha, ha. Leslie PS: Josh LOVES that blanket! He is so funny. He has always loved his bed but he just snuggles under that blanket and he is so happy with a big smile on his face. I actually doubled it up on him -- I could have easily followed your suggestion on weight but live and learn and no harm done anyway. Leslie

"Your quilted blankets are treasures, your quality of work and these different patterns - I'll never buy from anyone but SensoryCritters.com - our son loves his blanket -we can't thank you enough - we are all sleeping now (well I still get up to check that he is actually sleeping!" KLS
