Product Information

However, the catch is that the cover is somewhat of a pain to put on and take off. This is partly due to the weight of the blanket making it a bit of a workout. But also because to keep the cover properly positioned, you have to tie it to the blanket - in seven places! But it’s worth noting that this is the case for most weighted blanket covers. Most weighted blankets sold today consist of inner blankets with weighted beads or pellets encased in an outer cover. These designs have a tendency to trap heat, even if the fabrics are composed of breathable materials. The Silk & Snow Weighted Blanket takes a different approach with soft cotton yarns in an open-knit design, ensuring plenty of airflow while delivering the deep compression people have come to expect from this type of covering.

Each blanket tested weighed around 7kg and was used by at least three different people for three or more nights' sleep, as well as when unwinding on the sofa. Coverlet: Instead of keeping you warm, coverlets are intended to add a decorative element to your bed. Many people remove the thin coverlet before sleeping, but some coverlets can be used to add comforting weight and extra warmth.Simba may be best known for its rolled-up mattresses, but the brand’s sleep-promoting expertise extends far beyond what we sleep on, it seems. The Orbit weighted blanket promises “better, deeper sleep”, and we found it delivered, allowing our tester to sleep soundly throughout the night. The cotton is super-soft next to the skin and breathable for ultimate comfort, which our tester found helped them sleep much better than without the blanket. And we particularly like that this weighted blanket works just as well draped over the bed as it does in the living room on a chair or sofa. The design is gorgeous and comes in a range of colours, including a berry red, green, grey and blue. We were also impressed by the ethical production process that ensures every worker at each stage is paid a fair wage. You haven’t completed your at-home staple wardrobe until you’ve invested in a blanket hoodie – it’s officially the comfiest item of clothing out there.

The most common recommendation is that a weighted blanket should be around 10% of your body weight. However, this varies from person to person and you must feel comfortable under the blanket. It’s important that you feel relaxed but not too constricted. You should be able to move around easily if you need to.

The verdict: Weighted blankets

When in doubt, size up when choosing the right duvet for your bed. A little extra room will cover the bed frame without a bed skirt and be a bit easier to maneuver if you share your bed. 3. Cost Its Karma switch blankets come with removable covers in various colours, including indigo, olive green, peachy petal and, of course, grey. And if that’s not enough choice, the covers are reversible to offer an additional option, and they can be bought separately to give so much more choice. Karmara’s weighted blankets are also available in a wide range of weights, including 6kg, 8kg, 10kg and 12kg. Although the style of a blanket makes a large difference in how it feels and performs, the materials used are just as important to consider. While some blankets are made using a single fabric type, many use a blend of materials to create the perfect feel at the right price. We’ll explain how to choose the best materials for you below, including what goes inside the cotton duvet cover.
