Choosing blanket weight
Common guidance suggests roughly 8–12% of body weight for a personal blanket, though preference varies. Open-knit construction allows more airflow than quilted styles, which may suit warmer sleepers. Verify the blanket covers your torso without hanging excessively over the bed edge, which adds perceived weight.
Weighted blankets are not recommended for infants or individuals who cannot remove the blanket independently.
Care and bead retention
- Washing: Many knit weights require spot cleaning; machine wash only if explicitly labeled.
- Bead leakage: Inspect stitch integrity periodically; repair loose loops promptly.
- Storage: Store flat or rolled loosely to avoid compressing fill channels.
