BloomKnit™ Chunky Cotton Weighted Blanket

Weighted blankets work through Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS) - gentle, even pressure that mimics the feeling of being held. This signals your nervous system to help fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.  Read the full study here →

Why cotton changes everything

Traditional weighted blankets use glass beads or polyester fill - materials that trap heat and create noise when you move. The BloomKnit™ weight comes entirely from the cotton itself, hand-knit into a chunky open construction that breathes naturally and stays cool all night. 

Many people find that the consistent, evenly distributed weight of a knit weighted blanket helps minimize tossing and turning throughout the night. As a result, you may fall asleep more quickly and enjoy deeper, more restorative rest, so you wake up feeling refreshed. While everyone’s experience is unique, research shows that weighted blankets can support more consistent, restful sleep by promoting relaxation and reducing nighttime disruptions.

Knitted weighted blankets provide gentle, even pressure known as Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS) - that can support your body’s natural processes for relaxation and sleep. Research suggests this type of pressure may help prompt the release of serotonin and melatonin, the hormones tied to calming your nervous system and supporting better sleep cycles. The result? Many people report feeling more relaxed and less anxious as they unwind under a knitted weighted blanket, making it a cozy addition to any calming routine.*

But the benefits don’t stop with sleep. Research also suggests that regularly using a weighted blanket can help reduce anxiety and soothe stress. For example, a study published in the journal Anxiety, Stress & Coping found that participants who used a weighted blanket for several weeks reported a significant decrease in anxiety symptoms. Another study in The Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine) showed a noticeable reduction in stress levels after consistent weighted blanket use.

In short, the deep, calming pressure of a weighted blanket isn’t just about better sleep, it’s about helping you feel more relaxed and at ease, whether you’re winding down at night or just taking a moment to yourself.

A quilted, bead-filled one often will. The beads sit in
sewn pockets between fabric layers, so the blanket works as
an insulator whether you want it to or not.
BloomKnit is an open knit with gaps you can see through, so
air moves rather than collecting. It stays on the bed year
round, including summer, and it was built for people who
overheat at night or wake up with night sweats.

The weight comes from the cotton itself. Chunky open loops hand-knit from cotton, with 100% cotton inside every strand.
There are no glass beads, no plastic pellets, no polyester, nothing synthetic anywhere in the blanket. Cotton inside and out.

Roughly 10 percent of your body weight, give or take a
pound or two depending on preference.

15 lb: 45 x 72 in (114 x 183 cm)
20 lb: 48 x 72 in (122 x 183 cm)

Around 140 to 180 lb, the 15 tends to fit. Above that, the
20. 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.

BloomKnit, yes. Cold, in the cotton wash bag it arrives in,
on the bedding cycle. The bag keeps the loops from catching on the drum.
Dry flat or tumble dry low, checking between cycles.
Heavier blankets may need two or three low heat cycles to
dry completely. Never hang it while wet.
Many beaded blankets are spot clean or dry clean only, so
check the label on yours.

The main cause of stretching is hanging a wet blanket.
Cotton holds a lot of water, and 15 pounds of dry blanket
is considerably heavier wet. Hanging it puts all that weight on the loops at the top.
Dry it flat, or tumble dry low, and the knit holds its shape. This is the single most important thing in caring for it.

Can a knitted weighted blanket be used by both adults and children?

Suitability depends on the blanket’s weight and the person using it. BloomKnit™ by Blanket & Bloom is a chunky knitted weighted blanket available in 15 lb and 20 lb options, intended for adult use. Made from 100% cotton, this breathable weighted blanket gets its weight from the cotton knit itself, with no glass beads or plastic pellets. Its open-knit construction allows airflow, making it an appealing option for adults looking for a cotton weighted blanket for hot sleepers.

If you’re considering a weighted blanket for children, consult your child’s pediatrician before choosing a weight or size. Our 15 lb and 20 lb adult blankets should not be assumed suitable for a child. Children should only use a weighted blanket with appropriate professional guidance and adult supervision, and must be able to remove it independently. Never use a weighted blanket for babies or infants.
