What sizes and weights does the Brookstone Weighted Blanket come in?

The listed size is queen, 60" x 80". Weight options are not given here, so confirm the weight before buying; a common guideline is about 10% of body weight.

Can the whole blanket go in the washing machine?

The zippered cover is machine washable and dryer-friendly. The inner weighted blanket should be spot-cleaned, since glass beads and polyester fill do not wash well.

Is it good for hot sleepers?

The fabric is marketed as cooling, but the shell is 100% polyester and some owners still find it warm. A cooler room or a lighter weight helps.

Is it hypoallergenic?

The cover is described as hypoallergenic and resists common non-living allergens. It is not a medical device and does not treat allergies.

When is the best time to buy it?

Weighted blankets usually drop during Black Friday, holiday sales and end-of-season bedding events. Check the price history to see whether the current price is near its low.

Who should not use a weighted blanket?

Young children, and anyone who cannot easily remove it, such as some people with limited mobility or breathing conditions, should check with a doctor first.
