Weighted Blanket 12 kg
The 12 kg weighted blanket is our heaviest weight. It is meant for people weighing 120 kg or more and comes in four models: Winter, Premium, Sensory and for two, with a 12 kg inner blanket on each side. An inner blanket this heavy calls for a few precautions when handling and washing it, explained below. Prices from $159.90 for the Sensory in 135 × 200 cm.
The right weight in 10 seconds
What weight for your blanket?
Slide the cursor to your body weight: we apply the 10% rule and suggest the matching blanket weight and models.
- Recommended blanket weight
- 7 kg
- Recommended size
- 135 × 200 cm (up to 1.80 m) or 150 × 220 cm
Between two weights, take the lighter one.
Under 30 kg: kids' range, from age 3 and 15 kg. The child must be able to take the blanket off on their own. If in doubt, ask a healthcare professional for advice.
Who it is for: 120 kg and over
Our reference chart sets the blanket weight at 12 kg from a body weight of 120 kg, and we do not offer a heavier blanket. So even above 130 kg, 12 kg remains our recommendation. At 120 or 121 kg, or for a first weighted blanket, it is perfectly reasonable to start with 11 kg (Cotton, Summer, Soft) or 10 kg (in these four models).
The four models in 12 kg
| Model | Key feature | Sizes in 12 kg | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sensory | one single cotton piece, no zip | 135 × 200, 150 × 220 cm | $159.90 |
| Winter | thick padding, cotton and velvet cover | 135 × 200, 150 × 220 cm | $219.90 |
| Premium | fixed inner blanket with stainless steel beads | 135 × 200, 150 × 220 cm | $299.90 |
| For two | two 12 kg inner blankets joined by straps | 270 × 200 cm | $449.90 |
The Premium is often the most comfortable at this weight, because its inner blanket does not shift inside the zipped cover. The Winter suits cool bedrooms. The Sensory, with no cover or zip, can be used on its own, under or over a duvet, all year round.
Handling and washing a 12 kg inner blanket
- Fold the blanket in half and then in quarters before carrying it, instead of pulling it by one edge.
- Remove the cover if the model has one: it washes separately at 40 °C.
- Make sure your machine can take 12 kg before washing the inner blanket, at 30 °C on a delicate cycle.
- For the Premium, choose a wash with no spin or a gentle spin.
- Air dry, flat if possible; never tumble dry.
Washing the cover more often than the inner blanket makes care much easier. Details for each model are on our care page and in the article how to wash a weighted blanket.
For two, with 12 kg
In the weighted blanket for two, the weight is per inner blanket: each 135 × 200 cm half corresponds to about 10% of its sleeper’s weight. The inner blankets detach, so you can wash each half separately. For a slightly lighter weight, see the 11 kg collection or the 10.5 kg weighted duvet. Comfort product, not a medical device. If in doubt, or for a child, ask a healthcare professional for advice.
Frequently asked questions
Does Tyngda offer a weighted blanket heavier than 12 kg?
No, 12 kg is our heaviest weight. Our reference chart recommends it from a body weight of 120 kg, without going any higher. It is available in the Winter, Premium, Sensory and for-two models.
How do I wash a 12 kg weighted blanket?
Remove the cover and wash it at 40 °C. The inner blanket washes at 30 °C on a delicate cycle, with no spin or a gentle spin for the Premium. First check that your machine can take this weight, then air dry, never in a tumble dryer.
Does the 12 kg blanket for two weigh 12 kg in total?
The stated weight is per inner blanket: each of the two 135 × 200 cm inner blankets weighs 12 kg. So each sleeper should weigh about 120 kg or more for this weight, or choose a lighter one.
