Our cotton blankets are designed to be used without a cover, offering a low cost option without reducing quality or effectiveness. Unlike most weighted blankets, each pocket of a Sommio blanket is precisely hand filled, perfectly distributing weight across the blanket and your body, to provide you with maximum benefit.
Our weighted products are effective therapeutic aids, helping people suffering from stress, anxiety and insomnia.
The weight, pressure and embracing effect help to enhance body awareness, provide a calming sensation and prompt your body to release hormones which have an anxiety-reducing and calming effect both mentally and physically. Greater body awareness reduces tension levels in the body, and this in turn improves breathing and increases the sense of calm.
Your Sommio weighted blanket helps you:
At Sommio we don't cut corners, creating hand-crafted blankets of unrivalled quality. We only ship blankets that we're proud of; manufactured to a high therapeutic standard. Unlike many other manufacturers our blankets hold medical product status across Europe; so you can feel sure that you're getting only the best.
Our customers are the core of our business, and we're always available to help with any question or concern, before and after purchase.
All our products are hand sewn by workers who are paid a fair wage, and quality tested to make sure they match up to our high standards. Each blanket is seperated into a grid of individually filled pockets ensuring weight is distributed evenly.
Many manufacturers choose to cut costs by using a blended fabric or cheaper Polyester, our blankets are made out of 100% European cotton, selected to blend comfort and durability to create a blanket you'll love, and a blanket which is made to last.
We've made the switch from plastic to glass filling, in a concious move away from materials which have been shown to be harmful to wildlife and the environment. These glass microspheres are hypoallergenic and are suitable for even the most sensitive sleepers.
We recommend that you choose a blanket which is between 10-15% of your body weight for maximum therapeutic benefit. Use the slider below to get our recommendation for you:
The best weight blanket for you is:
8 kg
Our weighted blankets come in two sizes 135x200 cm and 155x220 cm; and is available in 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 Kilogram variants. We recommend the 135x200 cm size for most users, however if you want a larger blanket we recommend going for the next weight up as less of the weight will be on you.
We've found the blanket is most comfortable and effective at around 10% - 15% of your body weight, but if you feel you'd like to go heavier or lighter then go for it!
We love it, and we've had a lot of good feedback about using the blanket for meditation so we'll say yes!
These blankets are machine washable but may be too heavy for some washing machines, so make sure you know the maximum load weight for your machine before adding you blanket to the wash. Our Cocoon weighted blanket and Weighted blanket with cover come with a detachable covers which make washing easier.
We've found that to maximise the effectiveness of the blanket it is best used for only one person; however it may vary for each individual, so give it a try!
Our cotton weighted blankets can be used in a duvet cover, but they do tend to bunch together inside the cover. If you intend to use the cover with your blanket you might want to go for the Cocoon weighted blanket, or our weighted duvet
