Weighted Blankets: Your Questions Answered
Weighted Blankets: Your Questions Answered
Weighted blankets are one of our most popular products and we get a lot of questions about them. Here's everything you need to know before you buy.
What Weight Should I Choose?
The general rule of thumb is roughly 10% of body weight. So a 40 kg child would suit a 4 kg blanket, and a 70 kg adult would suit a 7 kg blanket. It doesn't need to be exact go with what feels comfortable. Customers tell us they sometimes prefer slightly heavier or lighter, and that's perfectly fine.
What Size Do I Need?
Unlike regular blankets, weighted blankets are designed to cover the person, not the bed. A single-size blanket suits one person on any bed. If you want to share, or you prefer a blanket that drapes over the sides, our King & Super King Weighted Blanket is the go.
What Are They Filled With?
Our Neptune weighted blankets use micro glass beads they're smooth, evenly distributed, and much less bulky than plastic pellets. The outer fabric is soft and breathable, so you won't overheat.
Can I Wash Them?
Yes! Our blankets are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle and mild detergent. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Check the care label on your specific blanket for best results.
Who Uses Them?
Everyone kids, teenagers, adults. Customers tell us they use them for settling at bedtime, relaxing on the couch, and just feeling calmer during the day. They're not just for children.
