What is a weighted blanket?
A weighted blanket, also known as a therapeutic blanket or gravity blanket, is a blanket filled with glass or plastic micro-beads that give it extra weight. This weight exerts gentle, even pressure on the body, similar to a comforting hug.
How to choose the right weight?
The golden rule is simple: choose a blanket that is approximately 10% of your body weight. For example:
- If you weigh 60 kg → 6 kg blanket
- If you weigh 70 kg → 7 kg blanket
- If you weigh 80 kg → 8 kg blanket
Our Adult Weighted Blanket 4-8 kg is suitable for most adult body types.

- ✨ Deeper and more restorative sleep
- ✨ Reduction of stress and anxiety
- ✨ Fewer nighttime awakenings
- ✨ Feeling of security and coziness
Who is it recommended for?
Weighted blankets are particularly appreciated by:
- Anxious or stressed individuals
- People suffering from sleep disorders
- Parents of hyperactive children (with a weight adapted to the child)

How to use it?
Use your weighted blanket like a classic blanket, directly on you at bedtime. Some people also use it during the day to relax on the sofa. It's normal to need a few nights to adjust.

Combine your weighted blanket with a soothing evening ritual: dim lights, a relaxing herbal tea, a few minutes of reading... and let the magic happen. 🌙
