Everything you need to know about a Weighted blanket.

Weighted blankets have been making waves across India as a game-changer in enhancing sleep and relaxation. Though they’ve existed for over a century, their immense benefits are only now gaining widespread recognition. Weighted blankets offer more than just warmth—they provide therapeutic comfort that can transform your sleep routine and improve overall well-being.

If you’ve been curious about what makes weighted blankets so special or how they can improve your quality of life, this guide has everything you need to know.

What is a weighted blanket?

Unlike standard blankets, weighted blankets are uniquely designed to be heavier. They are typically filled with materials like smooth, eco-friendly glass beads, which are evenly distributed to deliver Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT). This pressure mimics the sensation of a warm, comforting hug, creating a calming effect on the nervous system.

Why does it work?

• Reduces stress by lowering cortisol levels.
• Boosts serotonin production, which enhances feelings of happiness.
• Promotes melatonin release, improving sleep quality.

Whether you need warmth during winter or cooling effect in summer, a MysaSleep weighted blanket adapts to meet your needs, making it a versatile choice for year-round comfort.

How to find the perfect weight for your blanket?

Choosing the right weight for your blanket ensures optimal comfort and therapeutic benefits. The best way to estimate the appropriate weight of the blanket is the 10% thumb rule. The rule explains that a weighted blanket should weigh 8-10% of the person’s body weight. For example, if you weigh 60kgs, your ideal blanket would weigh between 5-6kgs.

For those unsure about sizing, you can refer to our comprehensive size guide here.

Sharing the blanket is caring, right?

While the adage “sharing is caring” applies to many things, weighted blankets are best suited for individual use. Sharing a weighted blanket might reduce its therapeutic impact, as the weight won’t be evenly distributed between two people.

That said, MysaSleep offers king size weighted blankets that are designed for couples who prefer to share without compromising comfort. We don’t want you to be “just readers”, we would like you to experience all the benefits that are quoted and associated with a weighted blanket.

Choosing the right fabric for your weighted blanket

The fabric of your weighted blanket can significantly impact your experience. Mysasleep provides a range of premium fabrics each with unique benefits:

• Cotton: A breathable, sturdy fabric that works well in all seasons. Its soft and durable nature makes it an excellent choice for everyday use.
• Bamboo Viscose: Known for its cooling properties, this silky fabric wicks away moisture and heat, making it ideal for hot climates.
• Bamboo Rayon: Hypoallergenic and antibacterial, this fabric is soft, absorbent, and suitable for both warm and cool weather.
• Tencel: Eco-friendly and made from eucalyptus pulp, Tencel is gentle on the skin, antibacterial, and hypoallergenic.
• Microfiber: A plush blend of polyester and nylon, this fabric offers a luxurious feel and is perfect for AC-equipped environments.

All the above mentioned fabrics are best suited for an air conditioner equipped environment. But the blankets designed for cooling effect can even be used in hot weather. Treat yourself with the most suitable, skin-friendly, and comfortable weighted blanket from the collection.

Best filler for your weighted blanket

Weighted blankets by Mysasleep are filled with smooth, eco-friendly glass beads that provide even weight distribution for effective pressure therapy, enhance therapeutic quality, and ensure breathability and noiselessness for uninterrupted sleep. As a sustainable and high-quality alternative to plastic fillers, glass beads elevate the comfort and functionality of every blanket.

Weighted blanket for kids: safe or not?

Weighted blankets aren’t just for adults—they can also be a wonderful tool for children dealing with anxiety, ADHD, autism or sleep disorders. However, safety is key:

• Always supervise kids when they first use a weighted blanket.
• Choose a blanket that matches their weight and size for optimal benefits.

At MysaSleep, we offer child-friendly weighted blankets in various sizes and weights, designed to help kids feel secure and comfortable. With proper guidance, these blankets can be a therapeutic addition to your child’s bedtime routine.

Protecting and maintaining your weighted blanket

Weighted blankets are an investment, and taking proper care of them will ensure they last for years. We recommend:

• Using a duvet cover: Protect your blanket from dirt, dust, and stains with our range of washable covers, including options like minky, tencel and cotton duvet covers.
• Dry cleaning: Avoid frequent washing, as this can affect the fabric and filler quality. Dry clean your blanket as needed to maintain its integrity.
