This is where the 10 per cent rule comes into play. Basically, this just means that you don't want to get a weighted blanket that's heavier than 10 per cent of your body weight. So, if you weigh 80 kg, try to find a weighted blanket that's around 8 kg. Do you have any medical conditions? - If you have any circulatory, breathing issues or diabetes you should avoid using a weighted blanket. Secondly, don't overlook the size of the blanket. Just like it's important to get the right weight, you also want to nail the size of the weighted blanket.

The Kuddly Therapeutic weighted blanket is available in three weights – 4 kg, 6.8 kg and 9 kg, meaning each adult can find the right weight for them. Alongside the weight, this is an overall premium weighted blanket. Made of breathable cotton which is chemical-free, it will keep hot sleepers comfortable and provide a cosy sleeping environment. Since it is very large, it is also suitable for couples. On top of that, this weighted blanket has anti-rustle pellets, making it a great weighted blanket when taking naps.

However, it's important to note that some weighted blankets also have their own “cooling system”.

You can also use a duvet cover that's extra breathable if the weighted blanket itself has a stuffy cover.This is because Aeyla The Dreamer Weighted Blanket is sporting a 100% eucalyptus silk cover! Not only does this cover help out tremendously when it comes to breathability but it's also incredibly soft to the touch.

For older toddlers and preschoolers look for very lightweight, small blankets that are around a tenth of your child’s body weight.
