Which weighted blanket is best for you?

A weighted blanket can do wonders for your sleep. It provides a sense of security, reduces stress, and helps you relax more deeply. But one of the most frequently asked questions is: which weighted blanket is right for me? If you choose one that's too light, you won't experience the full effect. If you choose one that's too heavy, it can be uncomfortable. In this blog post, we'll explain how to choose the right weight, what to look for, and how it can improve your sleep.

Why the weight of a weighted blanket is so important

The principle of a weighted blanket – also known as weighted blanket – is based on 'Deep Pressure Stimulation'. This means that even pressure on the body has a calming effect, helping you fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply. Research shows that people with a well-chosen weighted blanket toss and turn less and feel more rested. Want to know more about how it works? Then read our comprehensive blog.

How heavy should a weighted blanket be?

The rule of thumb is that a weighted blanket weighs approximately 8 to 12 percent of your body weight weighs. For example, if you weigh 70 kilos, a 7 kg blanket is ideal. For someone weighing 80 to 90 kilos, a weighted blanket of 9 kg Often better. If you're lighter or heavier, you can adjust the choice. The point is that the blanket feels firm and comforting, without feeling oppressive.

Examples by weight

For lighter adults (50 – 65 kg) a weighted blanket 7 kg usually the most comfortable. For an average weight (65 – 85 kg) the most popular choice is a weighted blanket 9 kg. It is important for children that their weight matches their body shape.
