Choosing Your Weight

Getting the weight right is the difference between a blanket you sleep under every night and one that ends up folded on a chair. It's the only decision that really matters, so here's how to make it properly.

The rule

Choose the blanket you like, only thing what's important to us is that you like the blanket you choose. That's it.

Sofa or bed?

A blanket sized for your body works for both. Weighted blankets are sized to cover you, not the mattress — so a Queen blanket on a Queen bed won't drape over the sides like a duvet, and that's correct. It's meant to sit on top of you, not tuck in.

If you sleep hot

Construction matters more than weight here. Our Sherpa blanket is a warm, deep-piled fleece — lovely in a cold room, too much in a warm one. If you routinely throw the duvet off during the night, treat it as a sofa and winter blanket rather than a year-round bedding replacement.

Who shouldn't use one

Weighted blankets aren't suitable for babies or toddlers, and anyone should be able to lift the blanket off themselves easily and unassisted. If you have a respiratory, circulatory, or sleep-related medical condition, check with your doctor first.
