Product Information

Temperature plays an important role in our ability to fall and stay asleep, so when our bodies are too warm (either because of the room temperature or our bedding), it can disrupt our sleep stages,” says Dr. Polos. “The cooling aspect of a weighted blanket can further assist with the promotion of sleep. The cooling pulls heat away from our body, which aids with decreasing our internal core temperature, a factor in maintaining quality sleep.” A weighted blanket may induce the sensation of being hugged, swaddled, or gently held. This engages the ‘5 senses’ by ‘grounding’ or ‘earthing,’ which in turn may induce a relaxing state and sense of calmness. The weighted blanket may gently push down on the body, helping you feel safe, secure, or in a protected space. Just as a firm, warm, and cozy hug can be a powerful agent for relaxation, a weighted blanket may help you wind down and de-stress before bed.” The cotton is super-soft next to the skin and breathable for ultimate comfort, which our tester found helped them sleep much better than without the blanket. And we particularly like that this weighted blanket works just as well draped over the bed as it does in the living room on a chair or sofa. The design is gorgeous and comes in a range of colours, including a berry red, green, grey and blue. We were also impressed by the ethical production process that ensures every worker at each stage is paid a fair wage.

Our testers judged how comfortable the blankets were to lie under and whether they felt too restrictive. They also considered whether their weight and size felt appropriate, if they helped them feel relaxed, and how easy the care guide was to follow. Finding the perfect cover shouldn’t be too troublesome. It all boils down to the material of the cover if we’re being honest. And that's because the cover material dictates all of the important features you'd want: how easy it is to wash, how well it can regulate the temperature, and how soft it is to the touch. The impact of quality sleep on your life can’t be stressed enough. Here are only a few of the benefits and advantages of owning the best weighted blanket. What this means for you: Using bamboo fabric for your bedding usually means that you won’t have to deal with a sweaty odor or mildew. Although bamboo is still susceptible to dust mites, it’s an efficient barrier against bacteria and other allergens. With the new Calming Blanket, you can hope for better, longer, but above all else, healthier sleep.Plus, once the ties were used to secure the weighted blanket inside the cover, it was not moving anywhere and stayed in place until we removed it for washing. We tested this weighted blanket in the 6.8kg option, but a heavier 9kg version is available too. The blanket is available in three weight options – 10, 15, and 20 pounds. These weights are best suited for people who weigh between 100 and 200 pounds. All models measure 48 by 72 inches, which is a good throw blanket size for one adult. The cover is removable and machine-washable, and the blanket carries an affordable price-point compared to similar quality blankets in the same size. Durable & machine-washable - our bamboo fabric is as strong as they get. Generally, all rayon is extremely durable and far surpasses cotton and other fabrics when it comes to longevity.

Spot or dry clean only:Avoid using a household machine to wash or dry these blankets. This can permanently damage the outer and inner materials. The general rule of thumb for weighted blankets is to select a model representing roughly 10% of your body weight, though there is some wiggle room. The 15-pound Cooling Weighted Blanket should provide adequate pressure without feeling excessively hefty for people who weigh 120 to 160 pounds. Individuals who weigh more may want to consider the 22-pound or 35-pound blankets. The latter, one of the heaviest weighted blankets on the market today, should accommodate people who weigh at least 300 pounds and typically find these blankets too light.It’s generally safe for adults to sleep with a weighted blanket every night – in fact, our tester now sleeps under their Simba blanket at all times. Starting slow can be a good idea, though. Within the cover is an inner blanket filled with fine glass beads that make minimal noise when they shift. The beads also retain very little heat and they should help the blanket stay cool. The fill is encased in a shell made of 100% cotton in a percale weave, a breathable fabric that further enhances the blanket’s cooling properties. We determined how easy it is to spot-clean each blanket by pouring 1 tablespoon of coffee onto its surface, letting it sit for 30 seconds, and blotting the area with a cool, wet towel. If a stain remained after this initial cleaning, we treated it with a Tide pen. Dr. Polos says you should look for a weighted blanket that’s between 5% and 12% of your body weight, noting that the sweet spot for most people is around 10%. (That’s a 15-pound weighted blanket for a 150-pound person and a 20-pound weighted blanket for a 200-pound person.) Some of the most versatile weighted blankets we tested are available in a wide variety of weights and sizes, ranging from 2 to 25 pounds.
