Is 8 lb enough for a twin blanket?

Weighted blankets are usually chosen at roughly 10 percent of body weight. An 8 lb blanket suits a person around 70 to 80 lb, such as a child or small teen. Most adults want more weight even in a twin size.

How do I choose my fabric?

You place the order, then email the company to work out the fabric and design. The listing notes most custom fabrics are included, with a possible extra fee for rare or designer fabrics.

What are the dimensions?

This is the twin size, 42 inches wide by 72 inches long. Check it against your mattress and the sleeper's height before ordering.

Can I use it on a bed or only as a lap blanket?

At 42 by 72 inches it covers a twin bed but not the drape of a larger bed. It also works folded as a lap or couch blanket.

How do I clean a weighted blanket?

Check the care guidance for the specific fabric you choose, since fabric type varies by order. Many weighted blankets are spot cleaned or washed cold and air dried to protect the fill.
