WHICH WEIGHT DO I NEED ? It is important that the weight of your blanket is in proportion to the bodyweight of the person using it. The commonly accepted principal verified by Occupational Therapists is that the weighted blanket should be 7%-12% of your body weight. Usually 10% of your body weight. They come in a choice of three sizes, and 3 weight options, can be used while reading, relaxing, or meditating.

The 11.3kg (25lb) Super King Weighted Blanket measures 203x221 cm (80x87 inches) and fits the TOP of a UK super king bed. Perfect for sharing. The Baloo Living Weighted Blanket is a great choice for its temperature regulation. The blanket is constructed with a quilted cotton cover and a glass microbead fill padded with cotton batting. The cover provides excellent breathability to keep you cool in the warmer months, but the blanket also provides decent insulation when the outside temperatures drop. The blanket is ideal for couples, especially those who have different temperature preferences. Start by reading the care label. Then, according to the instructions, soak your weighted blanket in a tub filled with cold or lukewarm water and mild detergent for 15 minutes. Then, rinse and repeat until you're left with nothing but clean water. Or, wash your blanket in a machine. Most weighted blankets contain plastic pellets, ball bearings, and other objects that make them feel significantly heavier than a standard cover or duvet. However, some newer weighted blankets feature open-knit designs that many sleepers find more breathable. Typical weights for these blankets range from 5 to 30 pounds. Sleepers tend to feel most comfortable beneath a blanket that comprises roughly 10 percent of their own body weight.A note of caution: Weighted blankets shouldn’t be used by anyone who can’t move freely beneath the weight. Even though they're sometimes used as a therapeutic tool for kids, it's important to first speak with a medical professional, like a child's pediatrician, before trying it out.

The fiber scientists in the Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab have tested over 20 weighted blankets in recent years. We first inspect the weighted blankets to evaluate construction and overall quality, then we have real testers try them out in their homes and fill out surveys based on their experiences. We also interviewed occupational therapist Christine Rocchio Mueller to gain insight into the science behind how weighted blankets work. In layman's terms, deep pressure therapy is a form of therapy that relaxes our nervous system by applying gentle pressure on our body. Whether the pressure is applied through hugging, squeezing, holding, or covering yourself with a gravity blanket does not make that big of a difference.
