A king size weighted blanket is the best choice for people who want full-body coverage, deep pressure comfort, and better sleep. Picking the right one, and keeping it clean, makes all the difference.

What Is a King Size Weighted Blanket?

A king size weighted blanket is a large, heavy blanket filled with glass beads or poly pellets. It covers a full king-size bed and uses deep pressure stimulation to calm the nervous system.

Gravity Blankets are designed with this science in mind, built for real people who want real rest.

Who Is It For?

• Adults who struggle with anxiety, stress, or restless sleep
• Couples sharing a king-size bed who both want even weight distribution
• People who feel too warm under standard weighted blankets (look for breathable fills)
• Anyone who prefers a larger blanket that doesn't slide off during the night

Who Should Avoid It?

• Children under 5 years old, weighted blankets are not safe for young children
• People with respiratory conditions, claustrophobia, or low muscle strength
• Anyone who cannot remove the blanket independently

Always consult a doctor before use if you have a medical condition. (Source: American Academy of Pediatrics)

What Weight Should You Choose?

The general rule: choose a blanket that is 8–12% of your body weight.

• Under 60 kg → 5–7 kg blanket
• 60–90 kg → 7–9 kg blanket
• Over 90 kg → 9–11 kg blanket

Gravity Blankets follow this guideline and offer clear weight options on their product pages.

Is a Washable Weighted Blanket Important?

Yes, a washable weighted blanket is essential for hygiene and long-term use. Look for these features:

• Machine-washable inner layer
• Removable duvet cover for easy cleaning
• Reinforced stitching that holds weight evenly after multiple washes

Gravity Blankets are designed as a washable weighted blanket, so cleaning is simple, not stressful.

How Do You Wash a King Size Weighted Blanket?

• Use a large-capacity washing machine (at least 9–10 kg drum)
• Wash on a gentle or delicate cycle with cold or warm water (max 40°C)
• Use mild, fragrance-free detergent
• Do not use bleach or fabric softener, it breaks down the fill material
• Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat
• Check the care label every time, materials vary
