Weighted blankets are sold in a range of weights, dimensions and fabrics. This page helps you compare those details without claiming a blanket treats anxiety or insomnia.
Weight and dimensions
Record the stated weight and measurements, and read the manufacturer’s suitability instructions. We do not give a body-weight formula or choose a weight for you. Ask a healthcare professional about suitability if you are unsure.
A blanket’s dimensions are not always the same as a standard duvet’s. Check whether the cover is included and whether replacement covers are available.
Filling and fabric
- Check the filling material and how it is held in place.
- Compare outer fabric, seams and removable-cover options.
- Read the washing and drying instructions, including machine capacity requirements.
- Check the packed weight if you will need to carry or return it.
Suitability questions
Do not use an adult shopping guide to choose a product for a child. Ask an appropriate healthcare professional about suitability, especially where breathing, mobility or other health concerns are involved. Retailer marketing is not individual advice.
Finding a seller for Ireland
Check specialist bedding retailers, homeware shops and marketplace sellers for current listings. We have not verified a specific blanket or current price. Confirm the seller, delivery destination, full euro cost and return policy before paying.
