10 Best Weighted Blankets in the UK 2021

With its internal clasps and a generous 8 security loop ties, this breathable and hypoallergenic pure cotton blanket will stay put, even if you're prone to restless tossing and turning. 

Over a hundred 5 star reviews can attest to its premium quality build, with double stitched edges, extra padding, and non-toxic glass pellets that spread to gently provide just the right amount of pressure for the size. 

Huggably soft, extremely cosy and great-looking, this very reasonably priced blanket is your best bet for winter nights, older folk, or those of you who can just never seem to get warm. There are no less than 7 layers of comfort padding and leakproof filling, and the outer is 100% cotton for breathability too. 

And if that wasn't enough, the dual-sided half tactile, half smooth plush cover has a zipped closure for swift removal and easy machine washing. Choose from child-suitable weights of 3 kg or up to 9 kg. 

This weighted blanket is as cool as it gets, utilising sustainable, antibacterial, ultra-breathable bamboo viscose for an uninterrupted nights sleep. A separate cover will have to be purchased if you need one, however, there are corner loops fitted and the colour choices are so smart you probably won't mind! 

It's very well made, from the smaller sized pockets for optimum dispersion of the glass beads, to the anti-leak stitching and 300 thread count material. A helpful size and weight chart are also provided, with this one in particular being suitable for a queen bed. 

There are 2 washable and tumble dry-suitable covers included with this blanket, a breathable, organic, lightweight cotton and a gorgeous fleece plush with a raised texture, both stylish enough for the chicest of homes and both with corner ties to prevent slipping. 

The large size is definitely big enough for enveloping you and will easily cover a queen-sized bed. Because of its size, you can wrap yourself up and make a secure 'sleep cocoon', which will no doubt leave you feeling wonderful. It's a real treat!

Filled with glass beads of the best quality, this blanket offers just the right amount of stimulation so you can slip into a deep slumber. The blanket is made from 100% cotton, a wonderfully breathable material that is also very soft to the touch. 

The blanket is split up into 10x10 cm smaller compartments which helps to maintain weight distribution. Optimising this even further are the 12 internal loops. These hold the filler in place within the cover, so it won't bunch up at all as you rest. Its cover isn't removable, but you can get one to make it easier to wash. 

The super-soft, snuggly teddy fleece cover on this blanket is much less sweaty than you'd think; it's made from microfibre which is light and wicks away heat and sweat even though it's made from plastic. 

A good balance of glass pellets makes for a noticeably comfortable and evenly dispersed pressure, and it's available in multiple weights from 4 to 8 kg, making it great for children. This blanket requires hand washing and doesn't have a removable cover, and with this heavy blanket, this will be quite a task to undertake. 

Ideal for the heat-sensitive or for petite frames, younger users or as a leg blanket, this very highly praised product is on all the best buy lists. The natural cotton is designed to not only let your body breathe, but to effectively ventilate, cool and wick away moisture. 

Again there is no included cover, but there are perimeter loops and ties that you may use with the brand's own selection of covers. You'll have to purchase them separately, but there's a brilliant range including textured fleece in various colours and lighter cottons. 

A great buy for those wanting a value blanket that won't get thrown in the cupboard for half the year, SCM include one warm and cosy fleece cover and one lighter microfibre option for use during summer, both of which can be removed and washed at home. 

The filling is made from innovative nano-ceramic beads, which the company promises provide a "silky" therapeutic blanket experience with perfect distribution and no bunching. This blanket is lighter and smaller, better for being used on your lap or by kids.

With it's eco-friendly filling, organic cotton fabric and non-toxic glass beads, this is a safe, summer-friendly blanket that's cool and breathable and won't bring on the sweats. 

It may not have a cover, but there are some handy ties that allow attachment to your own bed linens, so you can keep your decor matching and wash both the cover and the blanket as you like. This blanket is large but lighter, which might not add enough pressure for you. 

John Lewis' own brand weighted blanket stays true to tradition with this luxurious blue colour, and surprisingly offers one of the heaviest weights on the market (11.5 kg), making it suitable for those at or over 100kg. 

It's on the pricey side for the size, but the quality is high as you'd expect, and it uses almost entirely glass beads for even pressure distribution. There's a cover that can be machine washed, but the inner can only be spot cleaned or aired, so you'll have to put it on top of your own sheet or duvet to keep it fresh.
