Eron K, Kohnert L, Watters A, Logan C, Weisner-Rose M, Mehler PS. Weighted Blanket Use: A Systematic Review. Am J Occup Ther. 2020 Mar/Apr;74(2):7402205010p1-7402205010p14. doi: 10.5014/ajot.2020.037358 The blanket is made with 100% cotton that feels heavy but does not trap body heat. Thanks to its knit design, the model is a good option for people who tend to run hot during sleep or are looking for a blanket that can be used year-round, including in warmer seasons. Nine color options are available.Some people should avoid weighted blankets, or at least consult with a physician before using one. For instance, you should definitely have a word with your doctor about weighted blankets if you live with a chronic respiratory or circulatory issue, such as asthma, low blood pressure, or type 2 diabetes. Some weighted blanket manufacturers actively discourage people with these conditions from using their products. Although this is not always the case, some heavier weighted blankets are wider and/or longer than their lighter counterparts. Most weighted blankets are designed for single person use, so twin is the most common size offered by manufacturers. A common size for larger weighted blankets is 60 inches wide by 80 inches long, which corresponds to a queen size mattress. We didn’t like: It’s not machine washable and is only available in grey. Also, while this isn’t really the blanket’s fault, I tried the 4.5kg option and, frankly, it wasn’t heavy enough. The blanket is available in three sizes, each carrying a different weight. The medium is 15 pounds, the large is 18 pounds, and the extra large is 30 pounds. Unlike some weighted blankets, this model is entirely machine-washable – including both the inner blanket and cover. Many weighted blankets are specifically designed for children. A weighted blanket for kids will range between 3 and 10 pounds. If your child weighs more than 100 pounds, then a blanket for adults or children may be more suitable.

With two different weight options (7kg and 9kg), this weighted blanket from John Lewis will be a luxurious addition to your home. We liked: Loving this cool knitted design – way more ~aesthetic~ than the typical beaded number. Also, it comes in colours other than grey! In fact, it comes in four shades – forest green, ochre yellow, navy… and grey. However, after a couple of nights of our partner using the weighted blanket, we noticed that the deepness of their sleep improved significantly resulting in both of us getting a much more pleasant night's sleep. A weighted blanket provides a deep constant pressure on your body that helps you relax and unwind and can help you sleep better. It’s a bit like being hugged and has a nice, calming, cocooning effect.So, keeping these weight guidelines in mind, we tried out the most-hyped weighted blankets on the market. Here’s the lowdown on what we thought. Another weighted blanket with a luxury soft cover, this design from Rocabi comes in three different weights: 15lbs, 25lbs and 30lbs. We liked: I loved this blanket. It was a little lighter than some of those I’ve tried, but still heavy enough to stop me tossing and turning in bed, so I sleep really deeply when I use it. The cover is removable but there are enough ties inside to keep it secure, so it’s easy to move. Even better, unlike the John Lewis one, which can only be spot cleaned, I can throw this one’s cover in the wash to refresh it if I ever need to. Many of the hot sleepers on our team find weighted blankets uncomfortable due to heat retention, but the Hush Iced 2.0 is made with materials that prevent heat from building up too much. We found the bamboo-derived viscose cover helped keep the body cooler than other weighted blankets we’ve tested.”
