The ideal size for a weighted blanket depends primarily on your weight. Here's a guide to help you choose the right one based on information from Magic Weighted Blanket's size guide:
Weighted Blanket Size Chart
| User's Weight (pounds) | Blanket Size (inches) | Recommended Weight (pounds) |
|---|---|---|
| 40 - 70 | 36 x 54 | 8 |
| 70 - 110 | 42 x 60 | 12 |
| 110 - 150 | 42 x 72 | 16 |
| 150 & up | 48 x 78 | 20 |
Here's a breakdown of the recommendations:
- For users weighing 40-70 pounds: A 36 x 54 inch blanket weighing 8 pounds is recommended.
- For users weighing 70-110 pounds: A 42 x 60 inch blanket weighing 12 pounds is recommended.
- For users weighing 110-150 pounds: A 42 x 72 inch blanket weighing 16 pounds is recommended.
- For users weighing 150 pounds and up: A 48 x 78 inch blanket weighing 20 pounds is recommended.
Key Considerations:
- Weight is primary: The weight of the blanket is directly tied to the user’s body weight. The general rule of thumb is to choose a blanket that is approximately 10% of your body weight.
- Size Matters: The blanket should ideally cover your body without hanging significantly over the edges of your bed.
- Personal Preference: While the table provides a solid guideline, some people may prefer a slightly heavier or lighter blanket based on their personal preference.
By considering your weight, you can choose a weighted blanket size that will provide the optimal comfort and therapeutic benefits.
