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 adds between £20 and £25 to the cost of the blanket as there is a lot more work in creating each blanket; but aids significantly in helping weight stay evenly distributed.

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 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

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

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

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.
