Good To Know
What makes BloomKnit™ different from other weighted blankets?
Weighted blankets work through deep pressure stimulation (DPS), gentle, even pressure that mimics the feeling of being held, which can help your body relax and settle into sleep. Read the research review →
Why cotton changes everything
Many weighted blankets use glass beads or polyester fillers sewn into quilted pockets, and the beads can shift and rustle when you move. BloomKnit™ gets its weight from the cotton itself, hand-knit into a chunky open construction that breathes naturally.
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 suggests that weighted blankets can support more consistent, restful sleep by promoting relaxation and reducing nighttime disruptions.

Does a weighted blanket help you relax and unwind at night?
Knitted weighted blankets provide gentle, even pressure known as deep pressure stimulation (DPS), which can support your body’s natural processes for relaxation and sleep. 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.*

Are there any studies supporting the benefits of weighted blankets for sleep and anxiety?
Weighted blankets work through deep pressure stimulation (DPS), gentle, even pressure that mimics the feeling of being held, and researchers have studied them for both sleep and anxiety.
In a randomized controlled study in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, 120 adults with insomnia slept under either a weighted blanket or a light blanket for four weeks. The weighted blanket group reported less severe insomnia, better sleep maintenance, and less daytime fatigue and anxiety. Read the study →
For anxiety, a pilot study in the American Journal of Critical Care found that hospitalized adults reported lower anxiety after an hour under a 15 lb weighted blanket. Read about the study →
A 2024 review in Frontiers in Psychiatry found that most studies reported better sleep quality with weighted blankets, while noting that larger trials are still needed. Read the review →
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.
Is BloomKnit™ a cooling weighted blanket?
Yes. BloomKnit™ is a breathable, open-knit weighted blanket, so air and body heat can move through the gaps between the loops. It uses no cooling chemicals or special fabrics. The breathability comes from the knit itself.
Is BloomKnit™ 100% cotton?
Yes. BloomKnit™ is a 100% cotton weighted blanket, pure cotton inside and out, with no polyester or synthetic fillers. The fabric is OEKO-TEX® certified.
Is BloomKnit™ hand-knit?
Yes. BloomKnit™ is a hand-knit chunky cotton weighted blanket. Its oversized loops are what give it the weight and its sculptural look.
Is BloomKnit™ a bead-free weighted blanket?
Yes. BloomKnit™ gets its weight from its cotton construction. It does not use glass beads or plastic pellets as weighting material. It's hand-knit from 100% cotton inside and out, with no synthetic fillers, so there's nothing inside to shift or spill.
Will a weighted blanket make me too hot?
BloomKnit™ is designed to stay breathable. The open knit lets heat escape instead of holding it under a solid layer, so you can use it year-round, including if you sleep warm.
Where does the weight come from?
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.
What weight and size should I choose?
Choose a blanket that’s about 10% of your body weight. If you’re between weights, choose the lighter one. Use our [weight calculator] to find your weight.
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.

Can you machine wash a chunky knit weighted blanket?
BloomKnit™, yes, in a front-loading machine only. Cold wash, in the cotton wash bag it arrives in, on the bedding cycle. The bag keeps the loops from catching on the drum.
Tumble dry low, using tennis balls.
Heavier blankets may need two or three low heat cycles to dry completely. Never hang it while wet.
Does the knit stretch out over time?
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. 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. 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.
The blanket you don't put away.
Most weighted blankets get hidden when guests come. BloomKnit™ is hand-knit chunky cotton, made to sit out on the bed or the arm of a sofa.
