Frequently Asked Questions

Weighted Blanket Questions, Answered

How heavy should my weighted blanket be?


Choose a blanket that’s about 10% of your body weight. If you’re between weights, choose the lighter one. Use our [weight calculator] to find your weight.

If you sleep on your side or move around at night, size down, because the lighter one is easier to shift under.

Both are sized to your body rather than to your mattress. Weight that hangs over the sides pulls the blanket away from you, and even pressure across your body is the point.

What materials are your weighted blankets made from?

Our weighted blankets are designed with premium, wellness-focused fabrics that feel as good as they perform:

Our BloomKnit™ weighted blanket is hand-knit from 100% breathable cotton.

Moisture-wicking, temperature-regulating knits to ensure year-round comfort, cozy in winter, cool in summer.

OEKO-TEX® certified and eco-conscious materials, aligning with our commitment to gentle care for both you and the planet.

Thoughtfully weighted without beads, evenly distributed knit density for calm, deep pressure support.

Each blanket is rigorously tested for softness, durability, and restorative comfort.

Will a weighted blanket make me too hot?

No - if you choose the right material. Our BloomKnit™ blankets are hand-knit from 100% breathable cotton with an open weave structure that allows airflow through the blanket. Unlike glass bead-filled blankets wrapped in polyester, the cotton knit construction doesn't trap heat.

What materials are your silk products made from?

Our DreamSilk™ collection features luxury-grade materials crafted for pure indulgence and better sleep:

100% mulberry silk for our eye masks and pillowcases, ultra-smooth, naturally hypoallergenic, and gentle on skin and hair.

Wrinkle-resistant and breathable, ideal for keeping you cool and comfortable throughout the night.

Lightweight and soft-touch finishes that feel luxurious without being overly delicate.

Sustainably sourced and tested for quality, so you can enjoy beauty sleep backed by mindful manufacturing.

Silk is more than a fabric, it’s part of your self-care ritual.

Do weighted blankets actually help reduce stress and anxiety?

Yes, and there’s real science behind it.

Weighted blankets use gentle, evenly distributed pressure across the body, a technique known as Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS). This soothing sensation mimics the feeling of a comforting hug, which naturally signals the body to release more serotonin
(the “feel-good” hormone) and melatonin (the sleep hormone), while reducing cortisol, the stress hormone. The result?

  • A calmer nervous system. 
  • Reduced feelings of anxiety.
  • Deeper, more restorative sleep.

Many of our customers say their Blanket & Bloom weighted blanket helps them unwind at the end of a stressful day, quiet racing thoughts, and fall asleep faster, all without medication or screens.

It is not just a blanket , it is a nightly ritual of calm.

Do Professionals Recommend Weighted Blankets for Stress and Sleep?

Absolutely, they're more than just a wellness trend. Weighted blankets are endorsed by psychologists, therapists, and sleep specialists for their calming effects and ability to promote deeper, more restful sleep. A 2024 scoping review in the journal of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) suggests occupational therapists consider weighted blankets as a sleep intervention option, and many clinicians recommend them for adults struggling with insomnia, anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, or chronic stress.

Across countless case studies and clinical settings, weighted blankets have been shown to help reduce feelings of restlessness and stress by providing gentle, even pressure, known as Deep Touch Pressure (DTP), also called deep pressure stimulation. This pressure can signal the nervous system to relax, making it easier to drift off and stay asleep through the night. The sleep science is compelling, and for many professionals, these blankets have become a go-to recommendation for patients seeking natural relief from anxiety and sleeplessness.

BloomKnit™ is a comfort product, not a medical device, and it isn't intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition. If you're dealing with ongoing sleep problems or stress, your doctor or therapist is the right person to ask whether a weighted blanket fits your routine. Weighted blankets are not for infants or young children, or for anyone who can't easily move the blanket off on their own.

Why Are Weighted Blankets Smaller Than Regular Bed Blankets?

Weighted blankets are purposefully designed to be smaller than traditional comforters or bedspreads. Instead of draping over the sides of your bed, a weighted blanket sits snugly on top of your body to evenly distribute gentle, therapeutic pressure known as Deep Touch Stimulation. If the blanket hung over the edges, the extra weight could pull it off the bed or create uneven pressure, reducing comfort and effectiveness. For the best results, choose a weighted blanket that fits your body, not your mattress. Explore our BloomKnit™ collection.
