Studies have tested that blankets up to 13kg can be considered safe and effective for adults.⁸
For the safety of both children and adults, we recommend a minimum weight of 4kgs to see therapeutic benefits, with anything above 10kg being too heavy to be certain of its safety.
If you’re unsure, we recommend trying a blanket that is 5kgs.
The kuddly Weighted Blanket and Cooling blanket are both 5kgs, the ideal weight for providing therapeutic benefits without causing overwhelm or discomfort.
