What is a weighted blanket?

A weighted blanket is heavier than a standard blanket or quilt. It is filled with glass beads to add weight in the quilting. Our blankets have polyester fibers mixed in with the glass beads for extra softness. Multiple weight options are available so you can choose the weight according to your body weight.

What are the benefits and usage?

The great benefits of a weighted blanket are to naturally reduce stress and promote rest and relaxation. The extra weight helps to minimize body movement for a deeper sleep.

How does a weighted blanket work?

Deep Touch Pressure (DTP) is the science behind the weighted blanket. DTP helps reduce the stress hormone cortisol, which decreases heart rate, blood pressure and muscle tension, while releasing serotonin — a neurotransmitter associated with happiness and relaxation. The weight is evenly distributed for better relaxation.

How to pick your weighted blanket?

Weight is the first consideration when buying a weighted blanket, ranging from 8 lb to 25 lb. The cover material is another variable to consider, as some fabrics are softer and more breathable than others.

Frequently asked questions

We help brands build their own weighted blanket collection with custom fabrics, weights, packaging and private label solutions.

Can you do private label?

Yes. We provide full private label and ODM service including custom woven labels, hang tags, care labels, logo printing and branded retail packaging — your brand only, never ours.

What certifications do you have?

Our production is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified.

How does the Weighted Blanket work?

The feeling of a warm embrace that users get from the Weighted Blanket promotes "Deep Pressure Stimulation" (DPS). It provides a variety of sleep benefits, such as promoting relaxation and a sense of well-being, relieving stress and anxiety, raising serotonin (the happy hormone) and reducing cortisol (the stress hormone).

Does the Weighted Blanket replace my duvet or quilt?

It's completely up to you. Many sleepers swap their existing duvet with the Weighted Blanket, whereas others use both a duvet and weighted blanket on the same bed. For sleepers who strive for deeper and longer sleep, the blanket is always on the bed — either to replace or be used in conjunction with a duvet or quilt. Its smart, versatile design can be secured inside a duvet cover yet looks equally attractive when uncovered.

How do I keep my Weighted Blanket clean?

For stains, simply wipe with a damp cloth to spot clean the cotton cover, then hang it indoors or outside to air dry. Your Weighted Blanket is also specially designed to fit perfectly into any standard duvet cover, so you can secure it inside a washable duvet cover to keep it neat and clean all the time.

Will I get hot under my Weighted Blanket?

Not necessarily. Your Weighted Blanket is heavier but not hotter than an ordinary blanket. The 100% cotton cover is designed to circulate ample airflow and maximize ventilation, which means your Weighted Blanket can help you stay cool all night long.
