15 lb Weighted Blanket, 60 x 80 Inch Queen, Dark Gray

A 15 pound blanket in a 60 by 80 inch queen size, built so the weight stays where you put it. The quilting is a grid of two inch by two inch compartments, which is smaller than most, and the reason it matters is that small compartments stop the filling migrating to one side and leaving a light patch over your chest. Inside is a seven layer construction with glass beads rather than plastic pellets, so the weight comes without much bulk and without the blanket holding heat the way a thick quilt does. Sixteen loops around the edge tie it into a duvet cover so the two do not slide apart in the night. It is machine washable on a gentle cycle. The usual way to size one is about ten percent of body weight plus a pound, which puts 15 pounds at an adult of around 140.

Why we picked it

Compartment size is the specification that decides whether a weighted blanket works. Big compartments let the beads slide, and a blanket that has pooled its weight down one side is heavy where you do not want it and light where you do. Two inch squares hold the weight in place across the whole blanket. Glass beads over plastic pellets is the other real difference: glass is denser, so the same weight comes in a thinner blanket that does not sleep as hot.
