Does it really contain lavender?

Yes, it is filled with French lavender, which gives it a calming scent. The smell is noticeable at first and softens over time.

Is it safe for young children?

It is aimed at kids and teens as a cuddle and comfort item. Supervise young children, especially after heating, and check the temperature before handing it over.

No. Because of the lavender filling and heatable insert, it is spot cleaned only rather than machine washed.

How does it compare with a weighted blanket?

It is much smaller and lighter, so the weight is localized to your hands or lap. A weighted blanket covers the whole body; this is more of a hug-sized comfort object.
