BloomKnit™ Chunky Cotton Weighted Blanket for Hot Sleepers

Weighted blankets work through Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS) - gentle, even pressure that mimics the feeling of being held. This signals your nervous system to lower cortisol, boost serotonin, and release melatonin, helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. A 2024 review published in Frontiers in Psychiatry found that weighted blankets effectively improve sleep quality and help alleviate negative emotions and daytime symptoms — with deep pressure touch identified as the key mechanism.

You don't need a sleep disorder to feel the difference. Most people notice it their first night.

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™ uses no fillers at all. The weight comes entirely from the cotton itself, hand-knit into a chunky open construction that breathes naturally and stays cool all night. A weighted blanket that finally works for hot sleepers. And it looks beautiful doing it.

Results vary. Not intended to diagnose or treat any medical condition.

Material: 100% natural breathable cotton, filler-free all-fabric design for evenly distributed weight
Washing: Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle. Front-load washer recommended.
Drying: Lay flat to dry, or tumble dry low for 2 to 3 cycles. Do not hang dry.
Important: Confirm your washer and dryer can handle the blanket's weight before cleaning.

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.

For the best fit, please refer to our Size & Weight Guide to choose the blanket that matches your body weight and sleep needs.

2. Is BloomKnit too hot for summer?
No. The open-knit cotton construction stays breathable even at higher weights, which is exactly why it works for hot sleepers.

3. How do I wash it?
Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle, then tumble dry low or lay flat to air dry. Do not hang dry.
