About this deal

Weighted blankets are increasingly popular with sleepers battling insomnia or nighttime anxiety. To be effective, a weighted blanket needs to provide enough pressure to have a calming effect, without providing so much pressure that the user feels trapped or uncomfortable. We’ll examine the top considerations when choosing a weight for your weighted blanket.

Weighted blankets should be used for one person only and should not be shared. If you have any other medical concerns about using this product, please consult a Medical Professional. You should not use this product with children who suffer from the following: Recommended weights for a weighted blanket can vary between 5% and 12% of their body weight, with most people preferring a weighted blanket that weighs approximately 10% of their body weight.

For example, if you are pregnant or suffer from respiratory or circulatory problems (such as asthma or type 2 diabetes) you should always consult with a doctor before purchasing. The same goes for children, as they can potentially become trapped underneath a weighted blanket. How heavy should weighted blankets be?

This helps the user enter a more relaxed state, which is conducive to sleep. However, these health claims are the subject of ongoing research. For the safety reasons mentioned above, you should always choose a weighted blanket that weighs no more than 5-10% of the user’s body weight.
