Sleep
Cotton Weighted Blanket — Light Grey, 60" x 80" (17 lb)
Product description
Calming pressure: The blanket applies steady, soothing weight across the body to help reduce restlessness and support longer, deeper sleep. Its gentle compression can be comforting for adults and children alike, offering a cuddle-like sensation that aides relaxation.
Materials and fill: The outer shell is cotton for a soft, breathable feel against the skin, while the interior uses an irritant-free weighted fill housed in many small pockets to prevent shifting. The construction is designed for even distribution so the weight feels balanced rather than bunched.
Size and structure: This version measures 60" x 80" and weighs 17 pounds. The interior is sewn into a grid of smaller compartments, reinforced at stress points, to keep the fill secure. Corner loops are included for attaching a duvet cover with ties so the blanket stays aligned inside a cover.
Certifications and safety: Fabric and dyes meet OEKO-TEX Standard 100 safety criteria (Label ID: BJ025 166847), reducing exposure to harmful substances. The blanket is intended to cover only the mattress top and should generally not drape far over the sides; pick a weight roughly equal to 10% of the user’s body weight for the intended calming effect.
Care and service: Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle or opt for hand wash or professional cleaning if preferred. Dry by hanging or air drying to preserve fill and stitching. Using a dedicated duvet or weighted blanket cover will protect the blanket and cut down on washing. A 30-night trial period is offered — if you’re not satisfied, contact customer support for assistance.

VerdictThis 17 lb cotton weighted blanket delivers consistent, hug-like pressure with a soft, breathable cover and secure construction.

Upgraded to pure cotton
100% cotton cover feels nicer and more breathable than my previous blanket from another brand. Much better overall.

Well made; mind the length for best effect
Sleeping under this encouraged deeper rest. I used a cover with clips and it stayed put, though it’s a bit long for my bed. The weight works best when the blanket barely exceeds the mattress top.

Still going strong after nearly two years
I bought this for my son almost two years ago and it has held up very well. The stitching and weight have remained reliable and I’m impressed with the durability.

Great gift — long, comfortable naps
I gave this to my wife for the holidays and she loves it. She naps on the couch and sleeps deeply and comfortably with it.

Essential for calming anxious nights
This type of blanket replaced multiple heavy covers for me and helps hugely with anxiety. I now sleep with it every night and don’t want to go without it.

Soft, evenly weighted, but heavy to launder
Outer fabric is very soft and the small internal pockets create an even feel. No chemical smell. It washed perfectly, but because of the weight when wet I needed a large commercial washer to dry it safely.

Noticeable sleep improvement and less anxiety
If you’ve never tried one, expect a calmer night. I tracked my sleep scores and saw a jump from the mid-60s to the mid-80s and longer REM periods. Combined with a dark, well-ventilated room, it significantly reduced my nighttime anxiety.

Soft and effective for my child
The blanket is cozy and gentle; my son falls asleep more easily and sleeps better through the night.

Supportive but can feel heavy — choose wisely
I’m 5'1" and bought a 48 x 72, 15 lb version with a cover. It stabilizes my spine and has corrected some posture issues, but that led to morning soreness as my body adjusts. It’s heavy to move, so be cautious if frail or ill — I shifted it off my chest at times and left it over my abdomen, which helped.

Even distribution — slightly heavier at the feet
The sewn squares do a good job keeping the fill in place, though my child notices it feels a bit heavier near the feet than at the chest. It relaxed us instantly and made getting to sleep easier.

Hug-like comfort with seasonal layering — handle gently
I was skeptical but now love this blanket. The fill doesn’t trap heat the way bulky duvets do, so I layer a sheet or comforter as needed to stay cool in summer and warm in winter. Remember it contains a lot of tiny weighted pieces, so lift it from beneath and avoid rough use — I’ve occasionally found a stray bead, but it’s rare.
