How to Choose a Weighted Blanket

Weighted blankets come in a variety of weights and materials.

It is said that the comfortable weight improves sleep quality and supports relaxation, but it is important to choose the right weight and type to apply the right amount of pressure to your body.

If you're not sure which one to choose, here are a few points to consider.

1. Choose based on your weight

When using it while sleeping, it is generally said that the standard is to choose a blanket that is about 10% of your body weight. For example, if you weigh 50kg, a 5kg blanket would be the standard.
However, this is only a general guideline as individual preferences and perceptions may vary.

2. Choose based on comfort

Preferences and comfort levels vary from person to person, so it is very important to choose a weight that feels comfortable to you.
Try wrapping yourself in or covering yourself with a weighted blanket to find a way to use it and a weight that is comfortable for you.
You can also fold it in half or stack it partially to add more weight in the area you want.
If it's too heavy, you may feel cramped, so it's important to choose a weight that applies just the right amount of pressure.

3. Choose based on purpose and location

It is also recommended to choose different weights and sizes depending on the purpose of use, such as a lighter weight for situations where you want to relax and feel calm, and a slightly larger, heavier blanket to improve the quality of your sleep.
The comfortable weight may also vary depending on your physical condition and purpose.
For example, children, older people and people with physical limitations may be better suited to a lighter weighted blanket.

4. Choose by material and type

There are many different types of weighted blankets.
The key points to consider when choosing a material are safety, breathability, and ease of washing and handling. Softness and texture are also important factors for comfort.
The feel of each type is different, so please choose the type you prefer.

Type: Blanket type, knit type, etc. Fabric: Acrylic, cotton, velvet material, etc. Filling: Glass beads, acrylic beads, no filling, recycled polyester cotton, etc.

I have introduced some of the key points above.

We recommend starting with a lighter one and then choosing a weight that feels comfortable and suits your purpose.

A weighted blanket that will transform your everyday time into a relaxing one.
