Frequently asked questions
A weighted duvet gives the child a gentle pressure on the whole body. The duvet surrounds the child's body tightly, so that the arms and legs also find rest - like a swaddling cloth, just without restraint.
A weighted duvet is effective in all sleeping positions. Whatever the child prefers to
sleep on your back, side or stomach, then the weight and the granules stimulate equally well.
Tumblers in particular tend to turn and turn in their sleep, but the weight and
the envelopment from the duvet can help the child not wake himself.
A weighted blanket is also easy to use. It is simply placed over the child, just like
with a regular duvet. At the same time, it is easy to control the temperature without
disturb sleep. If the child gets too hot, you can gently give it air
legs and feet. If the child feels cold, simply add a blanket or an ordinary one
down comforter on top of the gravity comforter.
A weighted duvet has no age, so you don't have to fear when the baby/child outgrows it or starts to get up in bed. For some, restlessness in sleep is a finished chapter within the first 2 years of the child's life, but
for others, the need for regulation continues somewhat longer, and here a gravity mattress can be a great help.
You can safely let your child sleep with the weighted duvet both for naps and at night. If there is only restlessness during sleep at night, then finally do not change the routines during daytime naps - and vice versa.
Yes! Our weighted duvet gives off very little heat, which makes it particularly good for hot children and hot days/nights. On cooler days, the temperature can be adjusted with nightwear and/or a regular heater
quilt on top of the gravity quilt. Note: the closer the weighted duvet is to the child's skin,
the greater the sensory stimulation and thus the effect.
No. It is only the color combinations that vary. You get the same toddler-friendly weighted comforter regardless of which design you choose. So you can safely order exactly the design that appeals to you the most.
All our weighted duvets are produced in Oeko-tex certified cotton, which ensures that the textile is free of substances harmful to health.
The duvet's filling consists of natural stone, the filling is specially selected for its ability to spread over the whole body and create a enveloping effect
around the child. We have emphasized that the filling must be quiet, so that even the sensitive child can snuggle with the duvet.
You can therefore use our weighted duvet for the smallest of the family with peace of mind.
The weighted duvet is washed at 30 degrees and can of course also be washed at 60 degrees if necessary. The duvet is dried lying on a towel to avoid the weight pulling on the material. We recommend that the duvet is only washed when absolutely necessary to avoid unnecessary wear and tear. The weighted duvet can be used as it is, but we recommend using a duvet cover to protect the duvet as best as possible.

Always check that your gravity mattress is intact before use.
Baby from 6 months.
The baby size has a suitable size for use in a pram and the grip is also easy to handle when the baby needs to be moved from one place to another. Most customers have a good effect from the baby size right up to the age of 2.
Junior 1-5 years.
If your tumbler is 1 year old, the junior size of 3.5 kg will basically be a good choice. Many tumblers have a habit of tossing and turning in their sleep. With the junior size, there is plenty of room for your little one to turn in his sleep and still get the full effect of the duvet.
The junior size should NOT be used for children under 12 months.
We first recommend using weights from 6 months. We do this because babies under 6 months are soft in the body, and we therefore consider that unnecessary weight can make breathing difficult.
At the same time, we encourage parents to investigate whether there should be others and
more serious causes of the unrest. It can be locks, crookedness, stomach cramps,
allergies etc.
If you are in doubt, we always encourage you to consult with a professional who is close to you and your baby.
Yes! Many babies and toddlers are inherently warm, which is why we have opted out of lining the duvet. This means that our weighted duvet provides very little heat, and is therefore particularly suitable for hot children, hot summer nights and hot midday naps in the pram, where the child may find it difficult to find peace without the security of a duvet.
This also means that in the cold months it will often be necessary to dress baby in extra nightwear or even put a regular down duvet on top of the weighted duvet. Please note that it is important that the weighted duvet is closest to the child's body in order to achieve the full effect.
Our weighted duvet immediately feels cold on the skin when it is put into use, so we recommend that you make sure that the duvet is nice and warm when it is put into use. Warm it, for example, on a radiator, in a ray of sunlight or over your own body before use.
Your child will thank you.
Yes! We actually have very good experiences with using our weighted blanket for babies who panic when swaddled. The weighted duvet from LALATOTO gives the same feeling of being hugged tightly, but without locking. With our weighted duvet, baby can scratch his nose, change his sleeping position
and pick up the pacifier, at the same time as having the calming effect that swaddling provides.
First of all, it is important to emphasize that the child MUST be able to kick the duvet off, for safety reasons. In this way, the child can regulate the temperature or pull the duvet down if it gets too close to the face.
That being said, it is not unusual for us to hear from our customers that babies and children who previously kicked off the covers are actually sleeping with
weighted duvet on all night. The weight stimulates the parasympathetic
nervous system, which helps restless babies to find peace.
If your baby has a habit of kicking off the duvet as soon as it comes on, it can be an advantage to leave the feet free from the gravity duvet when you snuggle. That way, baby can feel the effect of the blanket before it is kicked off. When the baby sleeps soundly, the blanket is placed over the baby's entire body.
Our weighted duvet does not rustle, crackle or make noise. It was important for us to develop an almost silent duvet, especially for sensitive babies
and toddlers aged 1-3 easily become disturbed and unsafe by foreign sounds.
The weighted duvet from LALATOTO makes no more noise than an ordinary down duvet, and therefore disturbs neither you nor your sleeping child.
We think we have combined the best of the market in one duvet!
Our weighted duvet is not just an adult duvet in baby size.
It has been developed specifically for babies and toddlers with their unique needs in mind.
In addition, it is easy to use and is simply placed over the child as you would with any other comforter.
Our weighted duvet gives off very little heat and is therefore particularly suitable for hot children, and otherwise nightwear and/or a regular down duvet are added as needed.
Something very special about our weighted duvet is that the duvet is NOT quilted, and this means that the granules lie very directly on the skin. It provides a very special stimulation of the kinesthetic sense, also called the muscle-joint sense, which helps the child to define the body. Such a sense of demarcation can
be decisive for the feeling of security and thus the ability to indulge
the sleep.
The fact that the duvet is not quilted also means that natural stones move freely in the "pockets" and constantly stimulate the muscle-joint sense of a
new way when the child moves. This means that the child is gently helped to find peace through the night.
The vast majority of babies welcome the weighted duvet from the first use.
If your baby is particularly sensitive, or if you need to use the duvet for an older child, we recommend that you first introduce the duvet during the waking hours.
It is important that the child has excess, so that the quilt is associated with something nice. Depending on your child's age, you can introduce the blanket in conjunction with
breastfeeding or a cozy time with story reading.
When the child is comfortable with his new duvet while awake, you can start by introducing it in connection with sleep.
Our best advice for a good start is;
Patience is a difficult quantity when you are in a massive sleep deficit, but you can keep an eye out for the small signs that there is an improvement in
wait.
For babies, the first signs are most often shown by easier snuggling or better daytime naps.
For tumbles, it is always a good sign when the child accepts to sit with the duvet in an awake state, and in that way gets a break with, for example, the duvet over the legs.
The nights are often the most difficult to change, and thus also where the effect is most often seen last.
If you experience challenges with one or more of the situations below, then there is a good chance that our weighted duvet can
be a welcome help;
Many parents know the frustration that a baby slept so well in their arms, but wakes up as soon as they are put in their own bed and the like. Most often is
it's an active fun reflex, which makes the baby squeal and wake itself up.
By using the weighted duvet already at bedtime, you ensure that baby still
feels "hugged" and safe - even when she/he is transferred to her own bed.
Most babies experience restlessness in their bodies. Whether it is the result of a hard birth, overstimulation, a developmental leap or something completely fourth that makes it difficult for your baby to find peace, it can feel hard and
powerless as a parent. The weighted duvet from LALATOTO has proven to be particularly effective in helping babies find peace in their own bodies. The baby quilt stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which has to do with rest and calm, and this means that a restless baby will feel more relaxed when using the quilt.
The weighted quilt's effect on the nervous system, combined with the quilt's swaddle properties, has been shown to be beneficial in babies with restless arms. This means fewer awakenings and longer stretches of sleep for pacifier-happy babies.
All babies have awakenings during the night. For some in particular, it is difficult to sleep further and get into deep sleep, and for some
children continue the awakenings long after the baby stage. Our gravity blanket helps
gently lull your child to sleep, because the weight itself has a calming and relaxing effect. But something very special about the weighted mattress from LALATOTO is the almost direct contact the granules have with the skin. It provides a very special stimulation of the muscle-joint sense, which helps the child to define the body and create peace and security. When the child moves in their sleep, and perhaps because the child is coming out of sleep, the granules stimulate the skin in a new way and the child is helped to maintain the feeling of security throughout the night.
Some babies sleep particularly poorly during periods when their development is rapid. There is nothing to say about that; the world is experienced
bigger, the body suddenly learns more skills and the mind understands new ones
contexts. It can be difficult to shut down at bedtime. The baby quilt has shown
is effective because it contributes to an increased sense of security in the form of the duvet
gravity and its enveloping properties. At the same time, the nervous system is calmed and the body is helped to relax and find peace.
No, we do not offer a sleep guarantee.
Nothing is predictable when it comes to babies and toddlers, and there are simply so many factors that affect sleep. Therefore, we do not think that we can set a framework and a target for when the gravity mattress has fulfilled expectations. Setting a deadline of, for example, 30 days also contradicts our desire to create realistic expectations with our customers. For some, the duvet seems absolutely fantastic from the first night, and for others it takes a long time to get used to.
We want the child's pace and signals to be respected, and therefore we do not want to stress the process by setting up a back edge. All weighted duvets come with a user guide with our best advice for a good start. We do our very best to ensure that you have a good experience with the duvet.
