Weighted Blankets

(54 products)

Weighted blankets here run from a 2.3kg kids blanket up to 13kg adult blankets, in sizes from 120x180 cm to 200x200 cm. You can choose a standard fabric or microfibre blanket filled with beads, a soft sherpa fleece or faux fur version, or a chunky knitted blanket. The choice comes down to weight, size and feel. Tip: a common starting point is a blanket around one tenth of your body weight, then go lighter if unsure. Also see blankets, summer quilts and quilts.

How to choose weighted blankets

Pick the weight

  • 2.3kg to 5kg suits kids and smaller adults.
  • 5kg to 7kg is the most common adult choice.
  • 9kg to 13kg suits larger adults who like a heavier feel.

Around one tenth of body weight is a popular guide. If you are new to weighted blankets, start lighter.

Pick the size

A weighted blanket should cover your body rather than hang over the edge of the bed, so it is usually smaller than a quilt. 120x180 cm suits one person on the couch or a single bed. 150x200 cm suits most adults, and 200x200 cm suits sharing a queen bed.

Pick the feel

Standard fabric and microfibre blankets are the simplest to use year round. Sherpa fleece and faux fur blankets add warmth for winter. Knitted chunky blankets stay cooler and look good on a couch.

Kids

Choose a blanket listed as a kids size, keep the weight light, and make sure your child can move it off easily by themselves. Check the age guidance on the product page, and try it on the couch first to see how they like it. Many kids prefer it over their legs rather than right up to the chin.

To finish the bed, see pillows, bed sheets and mattress toppers.

Weighted Blankets: common questions

What weight blanket should I get?

A popular guide is around one tenth of your body weight, so a 7kg blanket for someone around 70kg. That is a starting point rather than a rule. If you are between weights or new to weighted blankets, pick the lighter option and see how it feels.

Is a 7kg weighted blanket too heavy?

For most adults, 7kg is a common and comfortable weight. It suits people roughly between 60kg and 80kg using the one tenth guide. If you are smaller or prefer a lighter feel, a 5kg blanket is a good alternative.

What weighted blanket is best for kids?

Choose a kids size blanket with a light weight, such as the Giselle 2.3kg kids blanket or the Dreamz knitted kids blanket. Make sure your child can lift it and move it off without help, and check the age guidance on the product page.

Can I use a weighted blanket in summer?

Weighted blankets can feel warm, so in summer many people switch to a lighter weight or a knitted style that lets air through. Avoid sherpa and faux fur versions in hot weather. A summer quilt is the other option for warm nights.

What size weighted blanket do I need?

Weighted blankets are made to cover the person, not the whole bed. 120x180 cm suits one person on a couch or single bed. 150x200 cm suits most adults. 200x200 cm suits two people on a queen bed.

Can you wash a weighted blanket?

Some weighted blankets are listed as washable, and many are easier to keep clean with a removable cover. Check the care label before washing, as heavier blankets may be too big for a home machine. Spot cleaning works well between washes.
