Weighted blankets of the appropriate weight are safe for healthy adults. For safety and mobility, the user must be able to get in and out of the blanket by themselves. Your weighted blanket should be no more than 10 percent of your body weight.

Shoppers should note that our weighted blankets are designed for healthy adults only, not children. Your weighted blanket should be no more than 10 percent of your body weight.

For adults who weigh 100 to 149 pounds, we recommend the 10-pound option. For adults weighing 150 pounds or more, we suggest the 15-pound version.

Both weighted blanket styles have their benefits, making it a matter of personal preference. That said, open-knit options have two note-worthy advantages: their breathability and even weight distribution. The knit construction allows easy airflow, preventing overheating and sweating. And while pellet filling may clump and cluster, knit weighted blankets have a balanced feel throughout.

The Chunky Knit Weighted Blanket is spot-clean only; do not machine wash or dry clean your blanket.

Research suggests that weighted blankets have a calming effect and may reduce insomnia severity. According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, a 2020 study showed that participants who slept under a weighted blanket for four weeks were 26 percent more likely to show a 50 percent decrease or more in their insomnia severity compared to a control group.
