How do I choose the right weight?

Weighted blankets generally work best at about 10 percent of your body weight, so a 150-pound adult would look at roughly 15 pounds. This blanket does not publish its weight, so confirm it before buying.

Is it safe to sleep under every night?

Most adults can use a weighted blanket overnight, but it should never trap you. It is not recommended for young children, and anyone who cannot lift it off themselves should not use one.

Most weighted blankets are spot cleaned or washed on a gentle cycle in a large machine, and some have a removable cover. Check the care label, since heavy wet fill can damage a home washer.

Will it make me too hot?

Weighted blankets add warmth because of their mass. Hot sleepers often do better with a breathable cotton cover or a lighter weight, and this one gives no fill or fabric details.

How is it different from a regular blanket?

The weight is distributed across the surface to give gentle pressure, which many people find calming. A regular blanket adds warmth but almost no pressure.
