Choose a weighted blanket with the right weight
The basic rule is to choose a weighted blanket that corresponds to about 10-15% of your body weight.

How heavy is a weighted blanket for me?
The weight of a weighted blanket is highly individual and depends on more than your own weight and height. Whether you have problems with worry or anxiety, stress or difficulty falling asleep at night will determine whether you should choose a duvet that is slightly heavier or lighter. Whichever you choose, it is important that you can move around freely.
Choose a slightly heavier one if you...
- Experiencing severe sleep problems
- Feeling strong worry or anxiety
Choose a slightly lighter one if you...
- Having neck, back or joint pain at night
The weight of the weighted blanket you choose is entirely up to you. For people with particularly severe sleep problems, a blanket of up to 20% of body weight can help the body unwind and sleep better.

Get used to the weight of the blanket
Starting to use a weighted blanket may feel unfamiliar at first. To get your body used to it, it is recommended that you start using the duvet for shorter periods during the day or for a few hours at night. Then gradually increase the time of use until you feel comfortable sleeping with it all night. This gives your body time to adapt to the increased pressure and helps you get the maximum benefit from the duvet.
