Quick answer

Most makers suggest a weighted blanket of about 10% of your body weight, rounded to the nearest size sold. At 65 kg that is 6.5 kg, so a 6.8 kg (15 lb) blanket. Lighter people and beginners can start a size lower. Weighted blankets are not recommended for babies and young children; for children, check with a doctor first and make sure they can remove it themselves.

Frequently asked questions

Is a heavier blanket better?

No. Too heavy can feel uncomfortable or restrict movement. Around 10% of body weight is the common guide.

Are weighted blankets hot?

Glass-bead blankets with cotton or bamboo covers stay cooler than plastic pellets with fleece.

Can couples share one?

A shared blanket spreads weight; many couples prefer two single blankets.
