Our Sommio Cocoon is the ultimate weighted blanket. The double sided cover has a luxurious plush furry fabric and a smooth fuzzy velvet; providing fantastic tactile stimulation. The weighted inner is hand sewn, with individually hand filled pockets to create precise & equal weight distribution. The 12 ties around the cover and blanket pair the two together, ensuring the blanket stays in perfect position inside the cover.
How does the Cocoon weighted blanket help?
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.
The Sommio Cocoon blanket helps you:
- Achieve greater calm
- Get better sleep
- Improve body awareness
- Improve attention and focus
- Fall asleep faster

These plush outer and weighted inner are both machine washable, but the wighted inner may be too heavy for some washing machines, so make sure you know the maximum load weight for you machine before adding you blanket to the wash.
Can my partner and I share a single Cocoon blanket?
We've found that to maximise the effectiveness of the blanket it is best used for only one person; however you can still experience the comforting sensation whilst sharing.
