How heavy should a weighted blanket be for me?

The maker recommends about 10% of your body weight. At 6.3 kg this blanket suits adults around 60 kg and heavier; lighter adults and children should look at a lighter model.

Is it warm enough for summer?

The 2.5 TOG rating is a light-to-mid warmth, so it is designed for year-round use. Hot sleepers may still find a glass-bead blanket warm in midsummer.

The cover is not removable, so the whole blanket has to be washed. Check the care label and use a machine with a drum large enough for 6.3 kg, or a commercial launderette.

Is it safe for children?

No. The maker states it is not suitable for babies, and weighted blankets are generally not advised for young children who cannot remove them unaided.

It measures 185 x 122 cm, a throw size meant for one adult. It covers a single sleeper rather than a double bed.

Does the filling bunch up?

The gridded square stitching is there to keep the glass beads evenly distributed, which is the main defence against clumping.

About the Slumber Weighted Blanket for Sleep, Stress and Anxiety

The Slumber Weighted Blanket applies gentle, firm pressure, much like a tight hug, to help you relax before sleep. It is filled with tiny hypo-allergenic, environmentally friendly glass beads that are 0.9-1.1 mm in diameter. The pressure reaches deep-seated receptors and helps release serotonin and endorphins, chemicals the body makes naturally to feel calm.

Gridded square stitching keeps the beads evenly distributed. The cover is 100% microfibre and the outer material is 100% polyester. With a 2.5 TOG rating, it can be used all year round.

It suits people with insomnia, and people with sensory integration and psychomotor disorders such as autism and ADHD. Choose a blanket that is about 10% of your body weight. It is not suitable for babies or toddlers.
