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 4 kg is right for
With the rule of about 10% of body weight, 4 kg corresponds to 40 to 49 kg. It is the typical weight for a growing teen or a petite adult. At the lower end of the range, or new to the feeling of pressure? Stay one step down: between two weights, take the lighter one, which is what the 3 kg collection is for.
Comparing the models available in 4 kg
| Model | Construction | Sizes in 4 kg | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kids | removable cover with loops, velvet or cotton | 90 × 120, 100 × 150, 110 × 170 cm | $149.90 |
| Sensory | all-in-one cotton, no cover or zip | 135 × 200, 150 × 220 cm | $159.90 |

- Sensory: no zip noise, no slipping cover. Use it all year round, on its own, under or over a duvet, and machine wash it at 30 °C maximum on a delicate cycle.
- Kids: the solution for a child or teen weighing 40 to 49 kg; at this build, the 110 × 170 cm is usually the best fit.
- For two: the weight is per inner blanket. Each half corresponds to about 10% of the body weight of the person sleeping under it.
Children and teens: non-negotiable rules
An adult checks the child’s weight before buying, and the child must be able to get out from under the blanket on their own. A weighted blanket is never meant for a child under 3 years old or under 15 kg. Comfort product, not a medical device. If in doubt, or for a child, ask a healthcare professional for advice.

Frequently asked questions
Is the 4 kg weight only for children?
No. It also suits an adult weighing 40 to 49 kg, or a slightly heavier person who is just starting out and prefers a light weight. In that case, the Sensory in 135 × 200 cm is the adult size available in 4 kg, from $159.90.
Why isn't the Cotton in this collection?
The Cotton comes in 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 kg, with no 4 kg. If you weigh 40 to 49 kg and want this model, take the next lighter weight available, which is 3 kg in 135 × 200 cm.
With the 4 kg blanket for two, must each sleeper weigh 40 to 49 kg?
The stated weight is per inner blanket: each of the two 135 × 200 cm inner blankets weighs 4 kg. Each inner blanket should correspond to about 10% of the body weight of the person using it. A 4 kg inner blanket is therefore meant for someone weighing about 40 to 49 kg.
