Weighted Blanket Guide: Pick the Right One

Why Weighted Blankets Work

Weighted blankets use deep pressure stimulation to promote calm and reduce anxiety. Research shows they can lower cortisol levels and improve sleep quality for many users.

Choosing the Right Weight

The general rule is 10% of your body weight plus 1-2 pounds. A 150-pound adult would use a 15-17 pound blanket. Heavier is not always better.

Fill Materials Compared

• Glass beads: Dense, quiet, even distribution.
• Plastic pellets: Lighter, more affordable.
• Steel shot: Heaviest option for smaller blankets.

Care Tips

Most weighted blankets need spot cleaning or gentle cycles. Use a duvet cover to reduce washing frequency.
