FAQs
How do I choose the right weight for a weighted blanket?
A general guideline is to choose a blanket that is approximately 7-12% of your body weight. However, personal preference also plays a significant role. The Emma Barclay Weighted Sherpa Blanket weighs 6.9kg.
Can I use this blanket if I overheat easily?
The Sherpa fleece can be warm. If you tend to overheat, consider using it primarily during cooler weather or on the smoother fleece side. Some users find the deep pressure helps regulate body temperature, but this varies individually.
Is this blanket machine washable?
Due to the weight and internal beads, it is recommended to hand wash the blanket in cool water to prevent damage to the filling and the washing machine. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying.
What is the main benefit of a weighted blanket?
Weighted blankets are designed to provide Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS), which can help to calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and promote relaxation, leading to potentially improved sleep quality.
How often should I wash my weighted blanket?
It's best to wash your weighted blanket only when necessary, such as if it becomes soiled. Frequent washing can degrade the materials over time. Spot cleaning for minor spills is often sufficient.
Can children use this weighted blanket?
This blanket weighs 6.9kg and is intended for adult use. It is not recommended for young children or individuals who cannot comfortably move or remove the blanket themselves. Always consult a pediatrician if considering a weighted blanket for a child.
Troubleshooting
Blanket feels too heavy
If the blanket feels too heavy, try using it for shorter periods initially or place it over a portion of your body rather than the entire body. Ensure you have chosen the appropriate weight for your body size.
Uneven weight distribution
Gently shake the blanket to redistribute the weighted beads. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Fabric feels less soft after washing
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Hand wash in cool water and air dry flat. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat.
Blanket is not providing a calming effect
Allow a few days to adjust to the sensation of a weighted blanket. Ensure the blanket is covering a sufficient portion of your body to distribute the weight evenly.
