Supports That Work Together
The BUZIO Reversible Minky Weighted Blanket in Navy Blue is a sensory regulation and sleep support assistive solution designed for individuals who experience sensory overstimulation, proprioceptive regulation challenges, physical restlessness, or difficulty settling for rest. By applying gentle, evenly distributed deep pressure across the body, the blanket provides consistent proprioceptive input that can assist users in calming down during periods of dysregulation and transitioning into bedtime routines with greater comfort.
Constructed with compact 12.7 cm x 12.7 cm (5 in x 5 in) quilted compartments filled with fine glass beads, the blanket maintains uniform weight distribution and minimises bead shifting or pooling. Its dual-sided, all-season design features smooth, breathable microfibre on one side for warmer weather and plush minky fleece with raised tactile dots on the reverse for cooler conditions and added tactile feedback. Available across five size-and-weight configurations ranging from 1.3 kg to 9 kg, users, families, and clinicians can select a configuration appropriate for approximately 8% to 12% of the individual's body weight. Note: The user must be able to independently lift and remove the blanket at all times, and allied health consultation is recommended where respiratory, circulatory, or mobility restrictions exist.
How This Device Supports NDIS Participants
- Proprioceptive & Deep-Pressure Input: Evenly weighted glass-bead pockets provide steady, comforting pressure across muscles and joints, offering predictable somatic input to support sensory self-regulation.
- Dual-Texture Tactile Modulation: Allows participants to switch between smooth microfibre and raised plush minky dots depending on their tactile sensory preferences and seasonal thermal comfort needs.
- Sleep Routine & Rest Transition Support: Serves as a calming physical cue during evening wind-down routines or daytime sensory breaks, helping reduce physical restlessness when settling in bed or on a lounge.
- Tailored Weight & Size Selection: Multiple weight options (1.3 kg, 2.3 kg, 6.8 kg, and 9 kg) enable appropriate matching to the participant's body weight and functional lifting capacity.
