What the AI looks for in Weighted Blankets
- Weight
- Aim for roughly 10% of body weight and round to the nearest available size. This is the standard guideline. Too heavy feels confining, and too light has little effect.
- Size
- Size to the person, not the mattress. A weighted blanket should sit on top of the body and not hang off the bed. Overhang pulls the blanket off and wastes weight.
- Fill and stitching
- Prefer glass beads in small sewn pockets. Small pockets stop the fill from shifting and clumping.
- Cleaning
- Prefer a removable duvet-style cover. The heavy inner blanket is hard to wash at home.
Brands that matter
- YnM: Mainstream glass-bead weighted blankets.
- Bearaby: Knitted weighted blankets with no bead fill.
- Gravity: Premium weighted blankets.
What to avoid
- Weighted blankets for infants and toddlers.
- Bed-sized weighted blankets bought for one sleeper.
Questions
Can two people share one weighted blanket?
Usually not well. The weight is meant for one body, so couples generally do better with one each.
