How to choose the correct weighted blanket?

Generally, we recommend choosing a weighted blanket that is about 10% of your body weight. If you're in-between weights(for example, 65kgs) we would recommend choosing the heavier blanket and going with 7kgs. Some of our users who have been using a weighted blanket for some time choose to go even heavier, and this is fine as well. It is all dependent on your comfort and needs.

Our weighted blankets are filled with safe and allergen-free fine grade high density glass beads which are shatter-proof, lead-free and noise-less for the additional weight. Our Blankets are made from 100% organic and natural fabrics such as cotton, velvet and bamboo.

How long does it take to get used to sleeping with a weighted blanket?

Whether or not this is the first time you're using a weighted blanket, it's important to allow your body to adjust to the additional weight with ease. Don't rush the process! We highly recommend using the weighted blanket for shorter periods of time while your body adjust (cue cozy naps on the couch!). For night-time sleep, we recommend using the blanket over half of your body for about a week. Feel free to use your normal comforter or flat sheet during this time to keep warm! Once the week is up, you can slowly move the blanket up each day until it covers you completely. It can sometimes take up to 14 days for your body to full adjust to the new added weight. It takes roughly 14-21 days for us to form new habits, so give your body time to adjust to the weight and to the benefits. Deep sleep is on the horizon.

Should I sleep under weight if I have a pre-existing medical condition?

While weighted blankets can help to treat some common sleep disorders, sleeping under weight isn’t recommended for people with certain pre-existing medical conditions, such as sleep apnea. Some people with conditions such as these found it uncomfortable to sleep under weight. If you have a condition that you’re concerned about, we always recommend that you check in with a healthcare professional before trying out a weighted blanket. Don’t forget that we also offer a 14-day return policy, so if you get the green light from your doctor, you can try out one of our blankets and see if it works for you!
