How heavy should my therapy blanket be?
Finding the right weight for your own therapy blanket may seem difficult at first glance.
What weight classes and blanket sizes are available for the therapy blankets?
Here we explain which weights are offered on our site TherapieDecken.de and how you can easily find out which weight is suitable for you!
Our weighted blankets are offered in various sizes and weight units. Our children's blankets are available in sizes from 60cm x 100cm to 110cm x 170cm and weigh from 1kg to 7kg.
Our weighted blankets for adults range in weight from 4 kg to 12 kg and are available in two sizes: 135cm x 200cm and 155cm x 220cm.
The decisive factor for the weight of your weighted blanket is your own body weight. But the size of the blanket also influences the required weight.
Which weight of the therapy blanket is recommended for me?
We recommend choosing a blanket weight that is about 10% of your own body weight, unless you specifically want to try a heavier or lighter weight.
If you are between two weight classes, we recommend choosing the heavier of the two weights, as our experience has shown that many customers prefer a heavier weight. However, this also depends on other individual factors, such as pre-existing conditions or physical fitness.
If you prefer our therapy blanket in the oversized 155x220cm, you generally take 2kg more, as the weight is distributed over a larger area and thus the distribution corresponds again to your body weight.
If you are still unsure, you can easily access our weight calculator here:
What happens if the weighted blanket is still too heavy or too light for me?
Exchanging the blanket is no problem! You can test your therapy blanket for 28 days free of charge. If you feel that your blanket is too light or too heavy, we offer a free exchange service where you can swap your therapy blanket for a different weight or size at no cost. From the receipt of the new blanket, you can test it for another 28 days free of charge!
