Where these numbers come from
Every figure is taken directly from this site's published, OT-authored guidance — the widely used 10% body-weight rule, the 15% hard cap for adults, the child weight-cap table (30–40 lb → 3 lb max, 40–60 lb → 5 lb, 60–80 lb → 7 lb, 80–100 lb → 8–10 lb), and the condition adjustments (fibromyalgia 5–8%, ADHD ~12%, elderly capped at 7–10 lb). Nothing here is invented — it's the same guidance from our Weighted Blanket Weight Guide, made interactive.
