Sizing & Weight
Start with roughly 10% of your body weight. If you're between sizes, go lighter — the calming effect kicks in even at lower weights, and a too-heavy blanket can feel restrictive instead of restful.
Most exchanges are for a lower weight, not a higher one. The 60-day weight exchange is on us if you guess wrong.
The Original comes in a single size (72" × 48") at 15 lb, 20 lb, or 25 lb. The Queen/King size comes in 35 lb only — landed on after rounds of testing as the weight that grounds without overwhelming over a larger footprint.
Yes — for ages 7+ at the right weight. Children should never use a weighted blanket heavier than 10% of their body weight. We make Gravity Kids — a 10 lb blanket sized for kids 50–75 lb, with a 3 lb weighted plush included.
The full-size Original is not recommended for anyone under 50 lb. If you have questions about a specific child, please reach out.
The Queen/King 35 lb is built for two — sized 80" × 87" so weight is properly distributed across both sleepers. The single-size Original is best used by one person at a time; weight isn't evenly experienced when shared.
Care & Materials
The duvet cover is machine washable. We recommend hand-washing the weighted insert.
Remove the cover, machine wash in cold water with similar colors, non-chlorine bleach if needed. Tumble dry on low, cool iron if needed. Dry cleaning is also fine.
Weight comes from fine-grade glass beads in 4 cm² gridded pockets — distributed evenly, with no migration.
- The Original: velboa plush cover (100% polyester)
- Classic Cooling: breathable technical fabric (100% polyester)
- Faux Fur: 77% acrylic, 23% polyester
All materials are hypoallergenic. None are treated with antimicrobial or anti-stain chemicals.
Overheating is the most common reason people send weighted blankets back. Our Original uses a moisture-wicking inner shell and a removable plush cover designed for airflow — tested 4–6° cooler at the skin than competitors.
If you run especially hot, look at The Classic Cooling — same grounded weight, breathable shell built for warmer sleepers.
