BloomKnit™- Cotton Chunky Weighted Blanket for Anxiety and Restful Sleep - Charcoal Gray

Discover the Calming Benefits of a Weighted Blanket

Struggling with stress, anxiety, or restless sleep? Our Chunky Knit Weighted Blanket is more than just a cozy layer — it’s a natural, science-backed sleep solution designed to help your mind and body unwind.

Weighted blankets work through a method known as Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS) a gentle, even pressure across your body that mimics the feeling of a hug. This sensation has been shown to lower cortisol (your stress hormone), increase serotonin (your feel-good neurotransmitter), and stimulate melatonin to help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

At Blanket & Bloom, we’ve reimagined the traditional weighted blanket. Instead of noisy glass beads or plastic pellets, our blanket is hand-knit from 100% natural cotton, creating a breathable, stylish, and filler-free experience that looks as good as it feels.

Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, tossing and turning, or simply want to create a more calming nighttime routine, our cotton chunky weighted blanket is designed to support your wellness.

The Science of Sleep and Why It Matters

Clinical studies show that quality sleep is essential for mental clarity, mood regulation, and overall physical health. Weighted blankets have been studied for their positive effects on individuals with insomnia, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and generalized anxiety.

In a recent systematic review published in the National Library of Medicine, researchers found that weighted blankets may improve overall sleep quality and reduce nighttime awakenings. Read the study here.

But even if you don’t suffer from a diagnosed condition, the calming pressure of a weighted blanket can make a difference in how relaxed and rested you feel each day.

Designed for Comfort, Made for Style

Our hand-woven cotton knit is soft to the touch, naturally breathable, and perfect for year-round use — especially if you're a hot sleeper. Unlike traditional weighted blankets that feel heavy and bulky, ours offers a chunky, modern design that doubles as beautiful home décor.

Use it in the bedroom, on your couch, or as a gift for loved ones seeking relaxation and better sleep.

Crafted from 100% natural, breathable cotton, this weighted blanket features a filler-free, all-fabric design for evenly distributed weight and enhanced comfort. It’s machine washable, use cold water on a delicate cycle with a front-load washer. For best results, lay flat or tumble dry on low for 2–3 cycles. Ensure washer and dryer can handle blanket weight before cleaning
Do not hang dry.

1. What size and weight weighted blanket should I get? To get the best calming and sleep-enhancing results, experts recommend a weighted blanket that is approximately 10% of your body weight, plus or minus 1–2 pounds depending on your preference.  Why 10% of your body weight? This guideline is based on Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS), a proven method used in occupational therapy that helps the body relax by applying gentle, even pressure. DPS helps:

• Decrease cortisol (stress hormone)
• Increase melatonin and serotonin (sleep & mood regulators)
• Calm the nervous system for deeper, more restful sleep.
