Product Information

When in doubt, we advise picking a lighter option, especially if this is your first experience with weighted blankets. Our Double/King Weighted Blanket has has small loops sewn into the seams at the sides and corners to securely connect to a Baloo Living linen duvet cover, if desired. As part of the Wellbeing Collection by Silentnight, this weighted blanket is designed to help you achieve a calm and restful slumber.

There is only one weight option (7kg) and the removable bamboo cover is only available as an optional extra (something our testers recommended for boosting the blanket’s cosiness credentials). The general rule is to start with a weighted blanket that is about 10 per cent of your body weight, says Henderson.

Cool in the summer and cosy in the winter, linen adapts to your body temperature to ensure you're neither too hot nor too cold. Note that it doesn’t come with a removable cover, so we’d recommend purchasing one – like this Minky cover – for additional comfort and easy cleaning.

He loved the fun design on the cuddly minky fleece cover and the raised, dotty sensory pattern on the reverse. The blanket will be one which I use when necessary - under stress and needing a good solid night’s sleep. In the aftermath of a global pandemic, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and a cost of living crisis, we have plenty of things to worry about at bedtime - meaning more of us than ever are struggling to switch off and get a good night’s sleep. The blanket is filled with tiny glass beads that offer comforting pressure to your body to encourage deep and restful sleep. Whether you’re looking to purchase pillows, duvets or a whole host of other bedding, we’re confident that you’ll find exactly what you need within the range of Silentnight bedding.
