Troubleshooting
Blanket feels too heavy
If the blanket feels too heavy, try using it for shorter periods initially or place it over a lighter blanket. Consider if a lighter weight option might be more suitable for your needs.
Uneven weight distribution
Gently shake the blanket to redistribute the filling. Ensure it is laid flat and not bunched up.
Material feels less soft after cleaning
Ensure you are following the recommended spot-cleaning method. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, and allow to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area.
Feeling too warm
Weighted blankets can retain heat. During warmer weather, consider using only the plush fleece side or using it for shorter durations.
