Is Bedding an allowable Arizona ESA expense?

Is bedding ESA eligible in Arizona?

Verdict · SY2025-26 handbook

No — not an allowable purchase

No. Bedding is on the unallowable purchases list in the SY2025-26 ESA Parent Handbook. Buying it with ESA funds risks the expense being disallowed and repayment being required.

Worth knowing

Weighted blankets may qualify ONLY as an associated good for similarly situated students with a disability (e.g., ASD) with documentation.
