Product Information

The blanket is machine-washable, ideally in front-loading washers on a delicate, cool water cycle. Due to the chunky knit, the product should not be hung to dry. Instead, place the blanket on a flat surface or tumble dry on a low setting for two or three cycles. The Nappling is Bearaby’s kids blanket, providing Bearaby’s trademark knitted design in a smaller, lighter, and more affordable form. With two weight options, this blanket can accommodate a wide age range in children. Shoppers seeking a weighted blanket that won’t lead to excessive overheating should look no further than the Hush Iced 2.0 Cooling Weighted Blanket. From the lightweight cover to the cool fill material, this blanket was designed with hot sleepers in mind.

However, the catch is that the cover is somewhat of a pain to put on and take off. This is partly due to the weight of the blanket making it a bit of a workout. But also because to keep the cover properly positioned, you have to tie it to the blanket - in seven places! But it’s worth noting that this is the case for most weighted blanket covers. 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.

Top Picks Overview

Sarah Silverman, Psy.D., a licensed psychologist and holistic sleep wellness consultant who treats patients in New York and Florida. It is believed that weighted blankets promote relaxation and ease sleep onset by triggering the release of sleep and happiness hormones while reducing the production of natural steroids like cortisol. Fittingly, the most important consideration when choosing a weighted blanket is how light or heavy it feels. Other factors that may affect your decision include materials, sizes, colors, prices, and whether or not the blanket can be returned if you are dissatisfied with it. What to Consider When Purchasing a Weighted Blanket The Cotton Napper is made primarily from organic cotton fabric and spandex. Due to this organic construction that doesn’t include artificial fillers or synthetic beads, this blanket is softer, more breathable, and more natural then the average weighted blanket. Some people should avoid weighted blankets, or at least consult with a physician before using one. 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. Some blankets also promote more airflow than others due to how they are constructed. Knitted blankets have an openwork design that allows air to pass through freely, and this can help you keep cool – even if the blanket is exceptionally heavy. Quilted blankets cannot circulate air as well and often sleep hot as a result.

You can select a weight of 15, 20, or 35 pounds for your Gravity Blanket. Those who weigh at least 150 pounds should find one of these options comfortable. All blanket sizes share the same measurements of 48 inches wide and 72 inches long with the exception of the queen/king model, which is 35 pounds (90 inches by 90 inches) and great for couples. Some weighted blankets are constructed with breathable cover fabrics and interior components to keep you cool during the night. Others may absorb and trap body heat; combined with their hefty weight, this can lead to excessive warmth. 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 The blanket is designed with high-quality glass bead fill encased in a cotton shell. Grid stitching keeps the glass beads in place, resulting in even distribution across the blanket and preventing the fill from bunching up. Machine wash cover only:For these blankets, you’ll need to separate the inner shell housing the beads or pellets from its outer cover. Unless the care instructions say otherwise, you can wash and dry the cover in a machine. Spot-cleaning with water and mild detergent is usually advised for the inner shell.The 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.

People who generally feel claustrophobic may find weighted blankets too stifling, as well. If you tend to feel anxious in enclosed spaces or when pressure is applied to your body, then you may want to consider other methods to help wind down and fall asleep. Lastly, weighted blankets pose a suffocation risk to children younger than 3 or weighing less than 50 pounds. There have been at least two cases of children who have died after using a weighted blanket. If you have a hard time relaxing and falling asleep, then you might be an excellent candidate for a weighted blanket. However, these products are not for everyone. While many sleepers report more relaxation and less anxiety sleeping under a weighted blanket, others feel too claustrophobic and pinned down. A weighted blanket may not be suitable if you are a hot sleeper, either – though some models promote temperature control better than others. What I didn't expect is that the removable cotton cover makes this blanket feel the most like a duvet. It just felt a bit more familiar having this on the bed at night than a fleecy blanket or one of the ones without a cover on.

The blanket is available in weights of 12, 15, 20, or 25 pounds, making it ideal for adults between 120 and 250 pounds. The cover and liner feature double-stitched baffles for the beads to distribute their weight evenly across your body. The entire blanket can be laundered in any household machine. Simply wash on a cold, gentle cycle and tumble dry on a low setting. This makes the blanket relatively easy to clean since many competing models are not completely machine-washable. Like all Bearaby blankets, the Nappling is made using a layer upon layer design rather than the usual weighted bead design. This improves breathability and allows for a more even weight distribution throughout the blanket. This blanket is made from 100% organic cotton, which is a material known for its durability, breathability, and softness.

Some people find it takes some time to get used to the weight, so you might prefer to start with a lighter weight. You can upgrade to a heavier weight after a while if that feels right for you. Do weighted blankets help you sleep? Many weighted blankets are specifically designed for children. A weighted blanket for kids will range between 3 and 10 pounds. If your child weighs more than 100 pounds, then a blanket for adults or children may be more suitable. Weighted blankets are generally considered safe for children who are at 3 years of age or older and weigh at least 50 pounds. When selecting a blanket for a child, it’s wise to follow the “10 percent rule” or err on the lower side. An excessively heavy blanket can pose an injury risk for children, even if they are 3 or older. 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.The blanket is available in two sizes, each with a unique weight. The single blanket weighs 12 pounds, making it ideal for solo sleepers in the range of 100 to 140 pounds. If you weigh more than 140 pounds or enjoy sharing your weighted blanket with a sleep partner, the larger 20-pound blanket might be a better fit. This option is comparable to an oversize queen/king, so there’s plenty of coverage for two people. Extra large size for extra snuggles! Oodie weighted blankets are 198 x 121cm, we suggest one per person for optimal weight distribution and comfort.
