I need my order fast. How does the RUSH option work?
We can not put one order ahead of another, but if you need it "Now!" we can put someone on over-tine and  get
your order out in 7 business days.  There is a 15.00 charge for blankets and for vests.  There is a 6.00 charge
for anything else.  If you place a rush on one item in your order, you will need to place a rush on all of them so
they can ship together.
There is a rush option near the bottom of most pages.
Call if you have any questions.

USPS shipping runs 10.00 for up to 10 pounds. Then it averages 10.00 to 20.00 depending on weight and size.  
Plushes are 10.00 each. Canada shipping is 48.00 for up to 20 pounds.
Weighted vests ship via UPS at 20.00 per vest. 30.00 for two vests.

WE SHRED ALL CREDIT CARD INFORMATION UNLESS YOU ASK US TO KEEP IT ON FILE.
We use Secure Pay Pal for credit card processing.  You can use either your credit card or your Pay Pal
account.
How do I select the print I want?
There are many prints to choose from. When you make your purchase there will be a place to type in
the print number and print description. Weighted Vest fabrics are separate from the rest
What kind of fabrics do you use?
Nearly all of the print and solid fabrics through out the website are 100% cotton. All of the fabrics are
good quality. The back of the blankets are done in a good quality corresponding solid cotton-polly
blend. We choose this because is lighter weight and has a smoother hand. The inside of the blanket is
constructed with 2 layers of cotton muslin or cotton-polly broadcloth. These same fabric principles
apply to the weighted vests.  The lap pads, Lap Wraps and Shoulder wraps are interlined with 2 layers
of fleece.  
Is the fine grade river stone safe?
Yes. You may have read on another site that it is porous, that it won't dry, that it is sharp and will wear
out the blanket, or that it will mold and other things.  With all due respect to the author of that site,
none of this is true.  Fine grade river stone is just that. It is natural, clean, smooth and certainly not
porous. So many of our customers prefer the fine grade stone that we are eliminating the Polly bead.
How do I decide how much weight to have put into an item?
We at Salt Of The Earth Weighted Gear are not Professional Occupational Therapists. The advice we
offer is based on recommendations offered by most OT's. It is important that you get the
recommendation of  your own OT.
There are general guides for blanket weight can be found on the Buy a Blanket page here.
The amount of weight you put into a vest should not be over 8% of the user's weight or more weight
than the user can comfortably carry for an hour. Your OT should help you decide.
Why can't I have over 20 pounds put into my weighted blanket?
There are several reasons we don't go over 20 pounds. FIRST: Once a person reaches adulthood, or
around 150 pounds, their bone structure will not change much, no matter how much they come to
weigh. So a 15 pound blanket is often sufficient for any size adult. For those needing extra weight, a 20
pound blanket offers a very effective amount of pressure. SECOND: An extra heavy weighted blanket
can be surprisingly awkward to handle.  Folded, a 20 pound blanket is much like holding two 10 pound
sacks of potatoes and the user should be able to lift and carry it. Spread over the body, it is very
comforting, but not very easy to manipulate. Unfolded, it is a dead weight, like a small child who is not
too heavy until he/she goes limp in your arms. So if you want to readjust it in the night, you'll be glad
it's not more than 20 pounds. THIRD: Though our blankets are machine washable, 20 pounds is the
maximum we feel would be safe in the average washing machine. FOURTH: We feel that though our
blankets are well constructed, with 4 layers of fabric, over 20 pounds could put too much strain on the
stitching when the blanket is being pulled around and manipulated. FIFTH: The cost of shipping goes
up considerably over 20 pounds. LAST: If you still want more weight, we suggest that you purchase
two blankets to use together. If you wanted 30 pounds, you could buy two 15 pound blankets or a 20
pound blanket an a 10 pound blanket.
How do I decide on the size for a blanket?
A weighted blanket should at least reach from the chin to a few inches past the toes.
If the weight is embedded in the body area of the blanket, a small child can use a size B, C, CXL, or D.
If the blanket will be carried to different places, like in the car and in the family room,
the smallest size that fits the user is recommended.
If the blanket will always stay on the bed, larger sizes are recommended.
We do not make Queen size weighted blankets because the weight is not effective spread out that far.
How do I decide on the size for a weighted vest?
Please use the size charts on the vest page and measure carefully.
The vest will be adjustable by about 6 inches on each side.
What is your return policy?
If you decide you want a different size, weight, color or fill than you ordered, you may return it in
unused condition within 15 days and we will replace it or refund your money. The postage will be your
responsibility. If your order is defective or is not the size,weight, print or fill that you ordered, return it
in unused condition within 30 days and we will replace it or refund your money. We will cover the
postage. We cannot offer refunds on special orders.
How do I wash my blanket or vest?
To wash a weighted blanket or vest, fill your washer with cool water and mild detergent.  Add the
weighted blanket or vest and 2 or 3 heavy bath towels. Wash on gentle cycle, using the wet towels to
balance the machine during the spin cycles. Stand by during spin cycles in case your machine doesn't
shut down if it gets out of balance.  Line dry only
