A lot heavier than I thought it would be considering how cheap it was. Perfect for my kid. Will definitely be getting my self one just for that weighted feeling in the winter.
Heard about weighted Blankets on NCIS apparently Jethro Gibbs uses one, so out of curiosity I got one.
I slept like a Log, how a 6kg Blanket has that effect puzzles me.
It feels comforting, I know it’s weird but it really works..
Lovely blanket, lovely colour, soft material, dose what it says, I got a good night’s sleep, although I bought a double, time it hugs your body its not suitable for 2 people maybe if you put it on top of your duvet it might.
I’m 5ft and average weight (9st) and this works beautifully. Someone said about not sleeping in it because you’ll get achey after a few days – please listen to that person instead of thinking you know better, I wish I did haha! Even my dogs love it and fight to get under with me!! They can get too and from without being too heavy, so this is just the right level of body hug
The future sister in law has one and I decided to buy one. It actually makes me feel very relaxed when using and especially when lying on the sofa watching my favourite film sister act.
Well made lovely colour great price would recommend my only complaint is that I was expecting it to come with a leaflet or something for care instructions etc but I just googled it so no big deal. Husband has restless legs and he says he can feel the benefi
Selected this product a was best priced blanket for the weight at the time, wasn’t disappointed. This is my first weighted blanket and found this to be a very good weight really improves my sleep. Have found that this fabric isn’t that breathable and can make me a little warm, not sure if i will be able to use in the summer but so far very happy
8 kg suitable for double or large single bed. Fabric lovely and soft. Very heavy so be careful if you need to lift it. Pastel pink beautiful. Very comforting also great if you get super cold and like to be extra cosy.
Better for a sofa maybe
6kg a better weight if I’m honest. Still heavy but more manageable. Lovely ink blue colour cover. And a good weight for over a normal duvet good for a single bed . Or to lay across a double. I prefer mine across so the weight is over my shoulder and not my legs. Once again offered a lot of comfort. And a great nights sleep after months of insomnia
Great blanket, only let down was packing it was rather cheep and flimsy, a carry bag with handles or sturdier plastic would have made it easier to wrap and more attractive.
I like the fact that on the coldest night it keeps me the warmest . It’s just the right size and weight for me.
If it gets to be too heavy on the warmest nights I can simply turn it down and lie under the duvet cover.
This is a lovely snug blanket to lay under.
Love this blanket. Wish I’d got one sooner. Bought others and they turned out to not be weighted. This was heavier than I thought it would be but in a good way. Def recommended. Going to get another one as this is also great price.
I have always struggled to drift off and it would usually take me at least an hour to fall asleep. Then more recently I had been experiencing insomnia where I would toss and turn for hours hearing my partner’s snoring. I was about to call my doctor and ask for help sleeping but I thought I’d try this blanket first, and thank god I did. I have been using this for 5 nights now and I can honestly say I’ve never slept better.
Excellent product for comfort and sleep. The only suggestion for improvement I would make is for the outside area of the material to consist of more weight as during the night when sleeping it clumps in middle and doesn’t fully spread across the bed but apart from that it is an excellent product and my sleep pattern has extremely improved. Excellent for lounge use.
We upgraded my son’s current weighted blanket to this one as it was slightly heavier. He wasn’t keen as this material isn’t soft and fluffy as his previous blanket but from my point of view this is far more practical, as it won’t show wear and tear like the fluffy material does, it can also be wiped clean easily if something gets spilt on it. Weight wise it’s perfect and the beads are distributed evenly. I would recommend this product.
Great product but the blanket came in a disposable plastic wrapping minus the eco friendly carry bag! Since this is 8kg, this makes it very difficult for the person I bought it for to carry from room to room. Slightly disappointed as this was a Christmas gift for a friend.
This is certainly heavy! The weight comes from little beads which you can feel in each square, settling with gravity, so they aren’t evenly distributed, but that’s not a problem. I have no idea if that’s normal. Probably.
The size is quite small. Just enough for a single bed.
The colour is navy blue but its slightly muted and petrol…? Not as dark as some other shades.
Looks pretty smart and the material seems reasonable quality.
Good value for money compared to some others I’ve seen.
Since using this blanket, the time I spend in deep sleep has really improved.It does take time to get used to the heaviness. The first week it felt as though I was pinned to the bed, but gradually it comes to seem natural. It reminds me of my childhood when we used to have loads of blankets in the winter. And like other people have said, it is comforting. I wake up in the same position as I went to sleep, I no longer toss and turn.
I recently purchased the Brentfords weighted blanket, and it has genuinely transformed my sleeping experience. Designed to utilize deep touch pressure therapy, this blanket is particularly effective for adults and children alike who are looking for a more relaxing and restful sleep.
The size of the blanket (150 x 200 cm, weighing 8kg) is ideal for a double or king-size bed, making it versatile for different sleeping arrangements. It also works well as a cozy addition on the sofa. The weight feels just right — not too heavy, yet enough to provide a comforting embrace. It’s within the recommended range of 7-12% of your body weight, which medical experts suggest for optimal effectiveness.
The materials used in this blanket contribute significantly to its comfort and health benefits. The 100% polyester cover and padding, along with the non-toxic micro glass bead filling, make the blanket breathable, comfortable, and durable. The blanket stimulates stress points and promotes positive hormones, enhancing the overall sleep experience. The blush color option is also aesthetically pleasing and fits well with various decor styles.
The science behind the weighted blanket is what sets it apart. The evenly stitched pockets ensure an even distribution of weight across your body, which is crucial for the blanket’s effectiveness. This distribution has been proven to increase serotonin and melatonin levels, leading to calming relaxation, while simultaneously decreasing cortisol, the stress hormone. This natural approach is effective in reducing anxiety, improving mood, and promoting a restful night’s sleep.
The inclusion of an eco-friendly carry case is a thoughtful touch, making the blanket easy to store or transport. This feature, along with the blanket’s benefits for anxiety, stress relief, insomnia, restless leg syndrome, and autism, makes it a valuable addition to any home.
Overall, the Brentfords weighted blanket is a well-crafted, scientifically backed product that delivers on its promise of improved sleep and relaxation. Whether you’re struggling with sleep-related issues or simply seeking a more comforting sleep experience, this blanket is definitely worth considering.
Purchased this for a relative with autism spectrum disorder and , in their words, ” it’s like a light switch, I wrap up in it and feel relaxed like a hug”
Best thing I’ve bought for them , better than fidget toys, lights etc. would suggest starting with the lightest weight and go from there
I have two of these as I like to feel very ‘tucked in.’
I had low iron for a while so was struggling with restless legs and I also seem to like to ‘creep’ with my feet for some reason. This helps reduce this massively.
The blanket doesn’t make you feel hot like a duvet can either.
I know many feeble-bodied people so I like to run up to them, jump in the air and spin around really fast while throwing it over them like I’m releasing a beyblade. They do not have the upper body strength to lift it off of them so i watch whilst laughing and delivering jokes “Why did the weighted blanket break up with its pillow? It felt the relationship was too one-sided — it was tired of carrying all the emotional weight!”. I am an absolute nightmare!!
This weighted blanket is amazing. I ordered this to help with my anxiety as I’ve heard that they are a good grounding method and I’m not disappointed. The material is sleek and comfortable- it feels so natural and not claustrophobic. The first time using this blanket, I couldn’t believe how easily and quickly the relief came to me. Every time I use this blanket, I am warm, comfortable and at ease. It aided my sleep too and I felt more rested in the morning after having restless nights for so long. I have already recommended this weighted blank to my friends and family.
The soft compression was expected to have a relaxing effect, allowing people to fall and stay asleep more easily. I chose an 8-kg blanket in the hopes that the weight would provide me with warmth and relaxation without being too heavy. As I nestled beneath my new blanket for the first time, I felt its cosiness embrace me. The heaviness over my torso and chest gave me the impression that I was being embraced or held. My racing thoughts calmed down as I focused on my breathing. I was nodding off before I realised it.
I slept soundly through the night, not stirring once. When morning came, I felt well-rested for the first time in weeks. As I continued using my weighted blanket over the next few nights, I fell asleep more quickly each time.
I also noticed my sleep quality improving. I was having more vivid, intense dreams—signs that my REM sleep was increasing. Studies show weighted blankets can boost REM sleep by making people feel safe and calm. With my new blanket, my days were no longer spent exhausted. Recommended!
It is not something you could drag around the house to use, it is too heavy, but I don’t need it for that. The size I got is perfect for a queen-sized bed.
I have had 10 nights perfect sleep since I got this! It’s not lightweight but it’s not too heavy either. It’s perfect. 2 of my sons loved it too so they have both bought themselves one each. I used to waked up several times a night and toss and turn and take ages to fall back asleep. Some nights I never got back to sleep. This is a game changer for anyone who has trouble sleeping and also for my Autistic son. Highly recommended.

The product is a lovely damask pink, the perfect colour. That gets 5*
Material, whilst Polyester, is silky soft. Another 5*
It actually weighs 8kg. Again, 5*
Doesn’t have a musty smell that some material products have, so 5*
Made me immediately want to take a nap (technically, product testing, sooo…), so 5* again
What let’s this product down quite a bit is the overall appearance and aesthetic. The images make it look padded and ‘full’ but it really isn’t. It’s like two layers of polyester either side. The glass beads are tiny so they appear to move between squares meaning some outer squares have nothing in and others have a fair bit and subsequently the lack of padding makes it feel quite ‘sandy’. But a bit bumpy.
HOWEVER…
That said, overall I would say this is a good buy for the price, decent size (king/8kg) and smooth material. Could do with some lightweight wadding or a heavier Poly to soften the texture of the filling. Possibly be improved by smaller sections too?
I would recommend this for the money, 23, but would have been disappointed if I’d paid much more.
Would I buy it again? No.
Could it be improved and change my mind? Yes.
Is it suitable as a weighted blanket? Yes
Will it change my life? Heck yes!
Do i feel like I am sitting in a big hug? Yes.
Will this stop me fidgeting so much? Haha I think it just might!
Can i take it to work? Productivity -90% so not recommended. No.
Will I regret the purchase? I don’t see why unless I wake up in a sea of glass beads. No.
