    Sommio Plush vs Microfibre/minky

    At Sommio we only use high-quality fabrics, which is why none of our covers use microfibre (often branded as minky). Microfibre is a cheap cover option, often bundled with poor quality blankets shipped from China, and is an indicator of lower overall quality.

    Pocket Size

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

    After the overwhelmingly positive feedback on our prime blanket, we’ve decided to offer the smaller pocket size across our blankets.

    The Prime pocket option is more expensive as there is a lot more work in creating each blanket, the smaller pockets keep the weighted fill much better distributed – which creates a more effective blanket and our best weighted blanket experience.

    Our standard pocket size is 15 x 20 cm, our Prime pocket size is 10 x 15 cm; so on an adult medium blanket, there are 100 Standard pockets, or 169 Prime pockets.

    Do I need cover ties

    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.

    Choosing your cover type

    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

    Cotton
    Plush

    Our cotton covers are the same material as that used for the weighted blanket -100% cotton, with a range of patterns and colours. These covers are easy to wash, and create an overall cooler blanket than the plush cover

    Our Plush cover is more luxurious than the cotton cover, the cover has different fabrics for each side; one side is a soft quilted fur, the other is a smooth velvety feel fabric. The plush covers are 100% polyester.

    We currently only have one plush cover option

    Choosing your blanket fabric

    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

    Choosing your blanket weight

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

    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
