We recommend you choose the blanket size closest to the user height plus 20 cm.

If you choose to go for a larger blanket we recommend you increase the weight by 1-2 kg as less weight will be on the user.

We recommend you choose a blanket between 10-15% of the user’s body weight

Our blankets use a grid of pockets to keep the weight in place inside the blanket

The most important aspect of a weighted blanket is how well it keeps the weight distributed across your body, the smaller the pocket, the less the weight moves and the more effective the weighted blanket is.

At Sommio we only provide you with the best weighted blanket experience, with other weighted blankets most of the weight falls to the lowest point, where it’s useless! our exclusive Prime pocket size keeps the weight on you, where it can provide real results

There are 100 standard pockets in a Cocoon blanket, this increases to 169 with the smaller Prime pocket

At Sommio we don’t use cheap materials to cut costs, which is why we only use premium velvet plush for Cocoon covers, never microfibre.

Often microfibre covers are marketed as “minky”, and are a way for manufacturers/retailers to cut costs at the expense of the overall quality and feel of the product.

If you’ve decided to go for a larger blanket than the user’s height plus 20cm, we recommend you increase the blanket weight by 1-2kg

All our weighted blankets can be used with or without a cover.

The cover attaches to the blanket using 12 ties, placed around the blanket and inside the blanket cover.

Covers make maintainance of a weighted blanket easier. Our weighted blankets are washable, but:

• Repeated washing can shorten the life of a weighted blanket as it puts extra strain on the material
• Weighted blankets should be dried horizontally as the beads can distort the blanket if hung dried
• Some washing machines cannot handle the weight of a heavier blanket

A blanket cover eliminates these issues, it is however important to know that although the blanket cover is attached to the blanket, when moving the blanket in the cover you should try to hold the blanket rather than the cover

Cover ties enable you to add a cover at a later date.

We recommend you use a Sommio cover with a Sommio blanket as the ties enable the blanket to stay in place inside the cover.

All the options for the blanket fabric are 100% cotton

The blankets can be used with and without a cover, you can pair a blanket with one fabric pattern with a cover of a different fabric pattern
