Product Information

The blanket is made with 100% cotton that feels heavy but does not trap body heat. Thanks to its knit design, the model is a good option for people who tend to run hot during sleep or are looking for a blanket that can be used year-round, including in warmer seasons. Nine color options are available. There’s a multitude of different brands and models on the market, and it can be difficult to sift through all of the marketing lingo to figure out which features are most important to you. In most cases, weighted blankets will be filled with plastic poly pellets, micro glass beads, steel shot beads or in some cases even sand or grain. We’d suggest steering clear of the organic fillings. As you'll soon see, weighted blankets with organic fillings tend to be a nightmare when it comes to keeping them clean.

The blanket is available in two colors, gray and cream. You should only spot clean the blanket if stains or smudges occur, and never wash it in a machine or have it dry cleaned. Each blanket is knit by hand to give it a personalized feel. 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.From the eco-friendly options, bamboo and eucalyptus are clean forerunners. Just like cotton, they make for a breathable fabric and even offer a bit of cooling to keep your body temperature down. Although they can be a bit more expensive. This Sleep Number True Temp Weighted Blanket aced our Lab tests and earned a near-perfect overall score. Unlike many other options, this weighted blanket uses temperature-regulating 37.5 technology to keep your body at a consistent temperature, so you feel comfortable year-round.

For instance, you should definitely have a word with your doctor about weighted blankets if you live with a chronic respiratory or circulatory issue, such as asthma, low blood pressure, or type 2 diabetes. Some weighted blanket manufacturers actively discourage people with these conditions from using their products.

With more than 30 colors, 10 weights, and five sizes to choose from, this YnM Weighted Blanket is designed to perfectly fit every need. The small quilting and layered design ensure that the glass beads don’t shift or leak, while the cotton exterior is soft to the touch.

After all, few things are more calming than a warm hug – even when it comes from a weighted blanket. Made with ultra-high quality bamboo fibres that regulate temperature, making it perfect for getting a cooler, more restful sleep in warmer monthsThe Silk & Snow Knit Weighted Blanket stands apart from many competitors with its open construction and excellent cooling properties. While traditional weighted blankets are designed like duvets filled with glass or plastic pellets, this model is composed of knit yarns that are both soft and breathable. The open knit design also ensures even weight distribution.

However, it's important to note that some weighted blankets also have their own “cooling system”. Usually, this means that the weighted blanket has multiple layers that are designed to maximise airflow. You can also use a duvet cover that's extra breathable if the weighted blanket itself has a stuffy cover. And if there isn't an exact match among the weight options, we'd generally suggest going under. So, if from the previous example you find the best weighted blanket on the market, it's better to get a 7kg weighted blanket than a 10kg weighted blanket. What to consider when buying the best weighted blanketTo find the best cooling weighted blankets, we tested 35 options in our Lab while considering factors such as quality, comfort, warmth, ease of cleaning, durability, and value. We also spoke to Peter Polos, MD, sleep medicine specialist and sleep expert for Sleep Number, for tips on how to choose a cooling weighted blanket. 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.

What this means for you: Your initial investment in this blanket will pay itself in many ways, not the least of which is the length of time you will get to use it. The table below lists our suggestions for the most common blanket weights. We’ve based our figures for ideal sleeper weight on the “10 percent rule.” The acceptable sleeper weight range figures are based on the general assumption that a sleeper will feel reasonably comfortable under a blanket that equals 5 to 12 percent of their own weight. For example, a 15-pound blanket will suit you if you weigh around 130 to 170 pounds. Meanwhile, a 20- or 25-pound blanket may provide more deep pressure for people who weigh between 180 and 220 pounds. Blanket Weight

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.” Eco-friendly & biodegradable - while bamboo rayon manufacture has its problems, we do our best to source our fabric from suppliers that adhere to our strict eco-friendly policies. 100% bamboo rayon is 100% recyclable and, because the plant is easy and cheap to grow, its manufacture is not as detrimental to the environment as the manufacture of other textiles. Due to the hand-knit construction, the blanket should only be spot-cleaned as needed and never machine washed. Regardless of which weight you select, the blanket is designed for a throw size of 50 inches wide and 60 inches long. These dimensions make it best suited to single sleepers. 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.
