What to look for
Weight
Start near 10% of your body weight, then adjust for comfort. The blanket should feel heavy but easy to move and get out from under.
Size
Most weighted blankets are sized to cover one person rather than the whole bed, so the weight rests on you instead of hanging off the sides.
Materials
Look at what gives the blanket its weight. Many use glass beads or plastic pellets. BloomKnit™ gets its weight from its cotton construction, and its open knit lets air move through.
Care
Check how the blanket is washed before you buy. Heavier blankets can be harder to clean at home, so follow the care label closely.
