Is 10 lbs the right weight for me?

Weighted blankets are usually chosen at about 10 percent of body weight, so 10 lbs suits roughly a 100 lb sleeper. Some owners find it heavy at first and report aches or headaches before adjusting.

Will it fit a tall adult?

It measures 48x78 inches, sized for one adult, but owners who are tall or broad-shouldered say it runs small. Check your height against the 78-inch length before buying.

Yes. The removable cover is machine washable, and the blanket itself is machine-washable too. Wash the cover separately to protect the glass-bead fill.

The cover is plush on one side and temperature-regulating microfibre on the reverse. Some owners still find it too hot, so try the cooler side first.

You get the weighted blanket and the dual-sided cover. The 10 internal loops hold the blanket in place inside the cover.

Does the cover have a zipper?

No full zipper. The cover attaches with ties and internal loops, and reviewers say the ties can come undone and let the blanket bunch.
