About our products
What is a weighted blanket?
A weighted blanket is filled with glass beads or knitted yarn that adds gentle, evenly distributed weight across your body. Many people find that steady, even pressure comforting and relaxing at bedtime.
How heavy should my weighted blanket be?
A common rule of thumb is roughly 10 percent of your body weight, rounded to the nearest available size. See our guide: How to Choose a Weighted Blanket.
Are weighted blankets safe?
Yes, for most healthy adults and older children. Not recommended for infants, toddlers, or anyone with respiratory issues, circulation problems, or conditions that affect the ability to remove the blanket independently. If you have any health concerns, speak with your doctor first.
Can I use a weighted blanket if I run hot at night?
Many people find knitted blankets in cotton or chenille yarn breathe better than bead-filled ones. We also carry bamboo-fibre sheets and a cooling blanket.
How do I wash my blanket?
Care instructions are listed on each product page. As a general guide, wash gently in cold water and tumble dry low or lay flat to dry, and spot clean where the product page says to.
Shipping and returns
Where do you ship?
We ship to Canada and the United States.
How long does shipping take?
Orders are processed within 3 to 7 business days of payment. Estimated delivery is then 7 to 15 business days.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your location and the weight of your order.
Can I track my order?
Yes. You'll receive a tracking number by email once your order ships. Tracking can take 24 to 48 hours to update after the carrier picks up the package.
What is your return policy?
Return most items within 30 days of delivery for a full refund, provided the item is unused and in its original packaging.
What about customs and duties?
Orders shipped to the United States may be subject to customs duties or taxes. These charges are the customer's responsibility.
Sleep and wellness
Will a weighted blanket cure my insomnia?
No. A weighted blanket is not a clinical treatment. It can be a comforting part of a broader sleep routine, but won't replace medical care, therapy, or medication when those are needed.
Can I use a weighted blanket during the day?
Yes. Many people enjoy a weighted blanket on the sofa while reading or relaxing.
