A Trip to the Farm

Order Processing time

Our products are all made to order, we commonly get asked to alter the weight installed in both toys and blankets. This means the typical turn around time is between 10-15 business days.

Due to a high volume of orders we are currently processing orders in a 15-20 day turn around.

If you require it for a birthday, or event please add a note with the date so that we can attempt to ensure it makes it there on time

The team at Nana's will do our best to make your order within these time frames, however there are times when we are processing large orders for medical and government clients, as well as large volumes of orders.

Our website will send you a notice when your order is 'scheduled' by the team, and then another 'making' notice will be sent when your team starts work on your order. If you unsubscribe from the notices you will not get these messages.

Choosing the right size weighted blanket is just as important as choosing the right weight. At Nana’s Weighted Blankets, we handcraft each blanket with care to support your individual needs—so getting the right fit helps you get the best results.

Whether you’re shopping for a child, teen, adult, or someone with specific sensory needs, our range of sizes is designed to suit every body and every bed. From our smallest lap blankets perfect for car rides or calming at school, to our largest king-size options ideal for restful sleep at home, we’ve got you covered—literally!

Keep in mind that weighted blankets work best when they are not shared. Each blanket is made to gently distribute deep pressure to one person, mimicking a calming hug and helping to reduce anxiety, stress, and restlessness.

To help you choose the right size for yourself or your loved one, we’ve created this easy-to-follow size chart. It outlines the measurements and best uses for each option, so you can feel confident selecting the perfect match.

Please note: These sizes are approximate and may vary depending on the fabric used.
As each blanket is handmade, variations of 5–10cm in dimensions are completely normal.

Not sure what size to go with? Don’t worry—our friendly team is always happy to help you find the right fit. Just reach out!

At Nana's Weighted Blankets, we strive to ensure that every product you receive meets your expectations. However, please be aware that slight variations in colour may occur between the fabric you see on our website and the actual product you receive. This is due to differences in screen settings, lighting conditions, and fabric batches. While we do our best to represent colours accurately, some minor discrepancies are unavoidable.

For each order, the Team at Nana’s carefully selects a complementary backing material to suit the fabric you've chosen. This ensures that your blanket is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. For Double blankets and larger custom Panel designs, we may need to incorporate additional backing material to achieve the correct width and length for your selected size. Rest assured, we will always use a high-quality fabric that complements the overall design and ensures the durability of your blanket.

For Queen and King-sized blankets, please note that these are constructed in two parts and joined using 'Hook and Loop' strips at regular intervals. This design decision is made because larger, heavier blankets can become too cumbersome for domestic washing machines and may not be suitable for machine washing. By creating them in two separate, manageable pieces, we aim to make your blanket easier to care for while maintaining its functionality and comfort.

We appreciate your understanding and are confident that the thoughtfulness behind each design will ensure you receive a beautiful, high-quality product that meets your needs. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

A weighted blanket is more than just a cozy companion—it’s a valuable tool that supports relaxation, better sleep, and overall well-being. Whether you use it nightly to ease anxiety or simply love the comfort it provides, caring for your weighted blanket properly will ensure it remains in top condition for years to come. Thankfully, most high-quality weighted blankets, including those made by Nana’s Weighted Blankets, are machine washable, making cleaning easier than you might think.

Here’s everything you need to know to safely clean and care for your weighted blanket.

1. Machine Washable for Easy Cleaning

One of the best things about a well-made weighted blanket is that you can pop it right into your washing machine. There's no need for expensive dry cleaning or complicated routines. Just be sure to check the care label before washing for any specific instructions, especially if your blanket has unique materials or inner layers.

For best results, use a front-loading washing machine or one without a center agitator, which can be gentler on the fabric and stitching. Choose a gentle or delicate cycle to avoid unnecessary wear and tear.

2. Keep Water Temperature Below 60°C

When it comes to water temperature, it’s important not to crank up the heat. Do not exceed 60°C (140°F). Washing with hot water can weaken the fabric, damage the inner filling, and cause shrinkage or warping over time. Stick to warm or cool water for a thorough yet gentle clean.

Using a mild, bleach-free detergent is also a smart choice. Harsh chemicals can degrade the fabric and reduce the lifespan of your blanket.

3. Avoid the Dryer at All Costs

After your blanket is clean, your next instinct might be to toss it in the dryer—but resist the temptation! Never put a weighted blanket in the dryer. The high heat can damage the internal structure and lead to clumping, melting of poly pellets, or irreversible wear on the seams.

Even on a low heat setting, the tumbling motion and heat exposure can reduce the life of your blanket significantly. Instead, opt for air drying.

4. Air Dry or Hang to Dry for Best Results

The safest and most effective way to dry your weighted blanket is by air drying or hanging it to dry. You can lay it flat on a clean surface or hang it over a sturdy clothesline, railing, or drying rack. If your blanket is particularly heavy, draping it over multiple rungs can help distribute the weight and prevent stretching.

Make sure it dries completely before storing or using it again, as any trapped moisture could lead to mildew or odour buildup.

Things to remember...

Caring for your weighted blanket doesn’t have to be complicated. With a few simple steps—machine wash on gentle, keep the water under 60°C, skip the dryer, and air dry—you’ll keep your blanket fresh, clean, and ready to comfort you whenever you need it.

Invest a little time in proper care, and your blanket will return the favour with years of soothing, restful nights.
