Enjoy The Benefits Of A Weighted Blanket

A weighted blanket should be around 10% of your body weight - this weight applies an even, comforting pressure across the body that mimics the feeling babies have when they're being swaddled, or when you receive a firm and comforting hug. This comforting weight can help you feel relaxed, safe and secure in your bed, which can then help you drift off to sleep.

Weighted blankets can also benefit people with autism, ADHD and anxiety, as the heavy feel of the blanket provides a point of focus and helps them ignore other external stimuli.


Weighted Blanket FAQs

What is a weighted blanket?

A weighted blanket is a large, sectioned piece of material. Each section is filled with an equal amount of a weighted substance, causing the weight to be spread evenly across the blanket. Weighted blankets are designed to cover a person's body, but they shouldn't cover the whole bed.


What is in a weighted blanket?

The 'weights' used in a weighted blanket can be made of many different kinds of materials. The most common fillers are small plastic or glass beads, although steel beads can also be used. These materials are waterproof, distribute evenly across the blanket, and are safe to wash. Sand is a less common filler, although it has a tendency to clump and takes a very long time to dry after washing. Finally, organic products like rice, beans and pasta can be used for filling, but should be avoided as they will eventually rot in your blanket and can grow mould, attract pests and will expand when washed in water.


How to wash a weighted blanket

Be sure to check the washing instructions on your weighted blanket. If you choose to machine wash your weighted blanket, ensure the weight will not impact the mechanisms of your washing machine. Set your washing machine to a gentle cycle using cool or warm water and avoid things like bleach or fabric softener. If you choose to dry your blanket in the machine, make sure to pause it and fluff your blanket every now and then so the filling spreads evenly. If you choose to air dry, lie flat and shake every now and then to evenly distribute the filling. Do not hang it up, as this will cause the filling to clump up on one side of the sections.
