Weighted Blankets for Adults
For an adult, a weighted blanket usually weighs between 5 and 12 kg, depending on body weight and the feeling you are after. This selection brings together our ten adult models, from the 2.5 kg weighted duvet for trying out the idea to 12 kg blankets. Each product page offers several weights and sizes, so you can find the right combination for your build.
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

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.

What size for an adult?
- 135 × 200 cm: the standard size for one adult, available in most models.
- 150 × 220 cm: for people taller than about 1.80 m or who like to be well covered, still for one person.

- 270 × 200 cm: for two, see the weighted blankets for two.
Our size guide explains why a weighted blanket should not hang over the bed.
The way you sleep points to the model
- You often feel hot: Summer, Linen or Cotton.
- You love the feel of velvet: Winter, Soft, or Premium with its all-season cover.
- You prefer a single layer on the bed: the weighted duvet, which replaces your regular duvet.
- You are sensitive to noise or slipping covers: the Sensory, with no zip.
Your first weighted blanket: our advice
If the idea is new to you, start light. The 2.5 kg weighted duvet gives a very light feeling, and the Cotton blanket goes down to 3 kg in 135 × 200 cm. You have a 30-night trial and a weight exchange if the weight doesn’t suit you. Safety precautions are gathered in our article risks and precautions.
Frequently asked questions
What weight of weighted blanket for a 70 kg adult?
For 70 to 79 kg, the recommended weight is 7 kg, available in the Cotton, Summer and Soft models. If you prefer a model that does not come in 7 kg, such as the Winter or the Premium, take the next lighter weight available, which is 6 kg.
Is a 12 kg blanket too heavy?
12 kg is our heaviest weight, recommended from a body weight of 120 kg. Below that, it goes beyond the 10% rule. Even if you like firm pressure, stay within your range and change weight through the exchange if needed.
Weighted blanket in 135 × 200 or 150 × 220 cm?
135 × 200 cm covers the body of most adults and works for one person even on a 160 cm bed. 150 × 220 cm is for people taller than about 1.80 m or who like to be well covered. Both sizes are still single blankets.
