At Mosaic Weighted Blankets, we've helped thousands of people buy their first gravity blanket and duvet cover.

That's why we have compiled this buying guide to help you get achieve your best night's sleep.
Most blankets are cozy, warm, and offer at least a cursory feeling of security. But weighted blankets go much further and deeper. They provide a form of therapy known as deep pressure stimulation. Many studies have shown that this gentle, constant form of pressure can help with a wide variety of discomforts and conditions, and induce a general feeling of peace.
We recommend that you research the benefits of weighted blankets to understand how a weighted blanket can help you and your loved ones.
Once you’ve decided to give a weighted blanket a try, the next step is selecting the right one.
We recommend a blanket that is 10% of your body weight. You can also add 1 or 2 extra pounds of weight for additional pressure, depending on what kind of benefits you’re hoping to gain and how you’ll use the blanket. For instance, a casual weighted blanket user will likely go with 10%. However, someone suffering from stress and anxiety may opt for those few extra pounds.
For a larger or shared blanket, we recommend a 20-25 pound King or Queen size.

We invite you to explore our weighted blanket chart to find your perfect fit:
A weighted blanket may feel unpleasant if it is too heavy, but you may not feel the full effects if it is too light. While it’s typically a safe bet to adhere to the 10% rule, plus or minus a pound or two, everyone is different.
According to one study, some adults may enjoy the feeling of blankets weighing up to 30 pounds. Others, however, may want something lighter than 10% of their body weight. If you feel that your blanket is not the correct weight, please review our return and exchange policies. We’ll work with you to get you the weighted blanket you need!
When buying a weighted blanket, you can buy it to fit the length of your body or buy it to fit your bed. It comes down to personal preference. If you want one to fit your body length exactly, you will want to purchase our Twin size weighted blanket. If you want the weighted blanket to fit the bed, you can buy ourFull/Queen/King size blanket. Either way, the weighted blanket can provide numerous benefits if the weight is correct.
Mosaic Weighted Blankets® are designed to lay on top of the bed, or match your body size, not hang over the sides. If it hangs over the sides of your bed, gravity will pull the blanket to the floor.
For children, you may want to add 1-2 lbs to 10% of their body weight. Some kids like the extra pressure when trying to sleep. But others may become uncomfortable if the blanket is too large or heavy.
We sell kids weighted blankets specifically designed to fit small children. Also, our throw size weighted blankets are perfect for a larger child. While you can buy a larger size to allow your child to grow into their blanket, you should still adhere to the general weight guidelines of how much they weigh now.
We also suggest consulting with your doctor, occupational therapist, or another health care professional before purchasing a weighted blanket for a young child (especially if they are under the age of four).
You should never use a weighted blanket for a child less than two years old.
When you choose one of our blankets, you don’t only consider the color, size, and weight. Our high-quality blankets come in different fabrics to suit your needs.
You need to exercise care when buying a weighted blanket for children. You want to make sure the blanket you choose has the easiest care instructions.
That’s why we make our blankets 100% machine washable! Our fabrics are extremely durable, and can easily withstand multiple cleanings when washed in cool water and air-dried. The blanket can also be spot-cleaned and put in the dryer on low heat for a short time.
For more information on how to care for your weighted blanket, check out ourBlanket Care page.
Please note: For blankets over 12 lbs, a commercial washer and dryer are recommended. Do not dry clean or microwave.
