MEUDYT Heated Weighted Blanket

Our take on the MEUDYT Heated Weighted Blanket

The MEUDYT Heated Weighted Blanket combines two products in one: a 10 lb glass-bead weighted blanket and an electric heated throw. One side is plaid flannel, the other sherpa fleece. It warms up in about 10 minutes and offers 10 heat settings. At 50 by 60 inches it is throw-sized, so it suits one person on a couch or in a chair rather than a whole bed. Most heated blankets are unweighted; most weighted blankets are unheated. This one asks you to accept both jobs in a single throw, and the weight makes it harder to move and wash than a plain electric blanket.

Questions and answers

How warm does it get, and how fast?

The maker says it warms in as little as 10 minutes and spreads heat across the blanket. There are 10 heat levels, so you can start high to warm up and then drop to a lower setting.

Is 10 lbs too heavy to sleep under?

Weighted blankets are usually chosen at roughly 10 percent of body weight, so 10 lbs suits many adults but can feel heavy for smaller people. The 50 by 60 inch size is meant for one person, and the weight is spread with glass beads.

Can I put it in the washing machine?

Treat it as spot-clean or hand-wash only. The glass beads and the heating elements and cord make machine washing and drying risky, and the controller must be unplugged and detached first.

What size bed does it fit?

It is a throw at 50 by 60 inches, so it covers one person on a couch, chair or the top of a bed. It will not cover a queen or king mattress.

Does it have an auto shut-off timer?

The product information lists 10 heat levels but no automatic shut-off timer. Unplug it when you are not using it, and follow the maker's instructions for safe use.

Is it a good gift?

It suits someone who likes both warmth and gentle weight, such as a partner or parent who reads or watches TV in the evening. Check first that they are comfortable with a 10 lb blanket.
