Is the Helix Knit Weighted Blanket worth it?

It suits adults who want a 20-pound blanket with a washable, reversible cover and even glass-bead weight. Smaller sleepers may find it too heavy, and it comes in only one size and weight.

What size and weight does it come in?

It is a 74-by-74-inch square weighing 20 pounds. That is the only size and weight listed, so it is not adjustable.

Can I machine-wash the whole blanket?

No. Only the cover is machine-washable. The filled blanket itself should be spot cleaned.

What is it filled with?

Glass microbeads blended with cotton, held in a knitted reversible cover made of cotton, fleece and microfiber.

Is it good for couples?

The 74-inch square is wide enough for two, but at 20 pounds it is heavy for one person to move and may sleep warm for some.

How does it compare with a 15 lb weighted blanket?

At 20 pounds it is heavier than a typical 15 lb blanket, which suits adults who want more pressure but is too much for children and smaller sleepers. It also comes in a single size, while many rivals offer several weights.

Our take on the Helix Knit Weighted Blanket

The Helix Knit Weighted Blanket is a 74-by-74-inch, 20-pound blanket filled with glass microbeads and cotton, with a knitted reversible cover in cotton and fleece. The cover is machine-washable, and the brand says the fabric resists tearing. It suits adults who want a heavy, even blanket for sleep and relaxation; smaller sleepers may find 20 pounds too much, and the single size and weight limit choice next to rivals that offer several.
