We encourage you to test out different weights in our stores, however, as personal preference will inform your final purchase decision.If you require a weighted blanket for medical reasons, we encourage you to consult your physician occupational therapist for advice. Among adults, our 15lbs blanket is our best selling blanket, while our 10lbs blanket is the most popular with older children and teens. For children it is important to use the guidelines suggested by occupational therapists, 10% of body weight plus 1 pound. This formula provides therapeutic benefits and prevents the child from feeling stuck under their blanket.   How Big Are Our Weighted Blankets?Our weighted blankets don’t follow traditional bed sheet sizings. That’s because they’re not just intended to be used in the bedroom. They can be folded across your lap while watching TV, taken in the car on rides, spread out on the couch for naps, and so much more.Our weighted blankets range from 78” x 48” (198 cm x 122 cm) to 80” x 86” (203 cm x 218 cm). Our single person blanket is a personal blanket, and covers roughly the area of a twin bed. We don’t make full or queen size blankets because the excess spread would be wasted on the bed. Ideally our blanket should cover from your chin to over your feet.How Do I Wash My Weighted Blanket?How To Wash The Outer Removable CoverOpen the zipper and remove the inner weighted blanket.
