Product Information

Even though it is not necessary, finding the perfect cover for your weighted blanket can improve the overall experience significantly. That is why many recommend that you do so.

Recommended weights for a weighted blanket can vary between 5% and 12% of their body weight, with most people preferring a weighted blanket that weighs approximately 10% of their body weight. Regardless of its weight, a proper blanket should allow for comfort and movement. Body Weight Range Getting plenty of sleep gives your mind and opportunity to unwind and de-stress, allowing your emotional well being to be restored. This can improve both your mood around the home and your productivity at work. A study has also shown that you are 30% more likely to be obese if you do not get enough good quality sleep. 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.However many women aged over 60 recognise that the quality of their sleep has been reduced, and they are trying more ways to try and fix this, so they can sleep better and get the rest their bodies need. Weighted blankets are generally considered safe for children aged 3 years and older who weigh at least 50 pounds. In recent years, a number of bedding brands have introduced weighted blankets specifically designed for children. These blankets typically weigh between 3 and 12 pounds. 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 blanket

The dimensions put it somewhere between a single and double duvet which is a good size, but there’s no choice of weights. And while it’s a nice, premium fabric, it doesn’t have the cosy, snuggly feeling that you get from some of the other blankets. According to this study put forward by Harvard, touch can play a role when it comes to helping children with ASD calm down. However, not all children will have a positive effect nor will the positive effect be noticeable to the same degree. 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. So, when stimulated, the parasympathetic system lowers our blood pressure and pulse, slows down breathing, and increases the secretion of hormones like dopamine and serotonin promoting relaxation and calmness.The humble weighted blanket has become a must-have for cosy comfort and relaxation, with a growing range of products flooding the market in the name of self-care. Weighted blankets are believed to stimulate production of “happiness” hormones like dopamine and serotonin and reduce levels of cortisol, the stress hormone. This helps the user enter a more relaxed state, which is conducive to sleep. However, these health claims are the subject of ongoing research.
