Weighted Blanket FAQs: Shipping, Returns & Proper Fit Guide

At Blanket & Bloom™, our weighted blankets do more than just soothe, they tap into a powerful blend of science and sensory care to restore calm, deepen rest, and reconnect you with your natural rhythm. Rooted in science, the gentle, even pressure from our blankets activates what’s known as Deep Touch Pressure (DTP), a therapeutic mechanism that signals the nervous system to downshift into a state of peace and safety. Here’s how that translates into real benefits:

• the mood-balancing hormone that helps you feel more content and emotionally grounded.
  
• the sleep-regulating hormone that guides you into deeper, uninterrupted rest.
  
• creating a secure, cocoon-like sensation that restores a sense of balance.
  
• warm, steady, and comforting to the body and mind.
  
• The result? A scientifically supported, soul-soothing ritual that nurtures your sleep and well-being — night after night.

Think of a weighted blanket as more than a cozy layer, it’s a wellness tool disguised as comfort. At Blanket & Bloom™, we craft each blanket to offer scientifically backed benefits that can transform your nightly routine into a healing ritual.

Here’s what your body and mind can gain:

• The gentle pressure cues your nervous system to produce melatonin, helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
  
• Our blankets help quiet the mind by lowering cortisol (the stress hormone), so you can breathe easier and feel anchored.
  
• By increasing serotonin, our blankets can help you feel more emotionally steady, even on tough days.
  
• Perfect for those who are easily overstimulated, the calming weight helps create a peaceful sense of stillness.
  
• Whether you're winding down from a long day or recharging between tasks, the Deep Touch Stimulation improves your body’s ability to reset and restore.

What does this mean for you?
You wake up more rested. Feel more at ease. And move through your day with clarity and calm. It's not just better sleep, it’s a better version of you.

Once you experience the feeling, it’s hard to go back.

Choosing the right weight for your weighted blanket is key to maximizing its calming effect without feeling overwhelmed. Here’s everything you need to know to find your perfect match.

General Guideline: 10% of Your Body Weight. Please read our blog here:

Weighted blankets can offer powerful relief for anxiety, insomnia, and sensory overload, but if you have a pre-existing medical condition, such as sleep apnea, claustrophobia, or certain respiratory or circulatory issues, it’s essential to consult your healthcare provider before using one. Your health and comfort come first.

While our weighted blankets are thoughtfully designed for people, many pet parents notice their furry companions are naturally drawn to the cozy, calming comfort. However, our blankets are NOT specifically tested or approved for pet use, so supervision is always key.

That said, your furry babies are smaller and more sensitive to weight. A full-sized weighted blanket could be too heavy, especially for small breeds, older pets, or those with joint, respiratory, or circulatory issues. For safety:

• Don’t cover your pet fully with the blanket
• Avoid using it while your pet is sleeping or unsupervised
• Check with your Vet before using weighted products on your pets.

The bottom line: While your pet might enjoy curling up next to your Blanket & Bloom weighted blanket, it's best to use it around them. not on them. unless approved by your veterinarian.
