FAQs
How do I choose the correct weight for my weighted blanket?
The general recommendation is to choose a blanket that is 7-12% of your total body weight. For the most accurate and personalized advice, especially for children or individuals with specific health conditions, it is best to consult your physician.
Can children use this Brentfords Weighted Blanket?
Yes, this blanket is suitable for children, provided they are old enough and physically capable of moving the blanket off themselves independently. It is crucial to select a weight appropriate for their body mass, adhering to the 7-12% rule, and to never use it for very young children who cannot move it.
How do I clean my Brentfords Weighted Blanket?
The blanket features loops to attach a separate, washable duvet cover, which is highly recommended for easy maintenance. For the blanket itself, spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild detergent is advised for minor spills. Info needed: [Specific instructions for machine washing or professional cleaning for the blanket without a cover. Avoid machine washing unless explicitly instructed by the manufacturer].
What are the beads inside the blanket made of?
The blanket is filled with certified, non-toxic, hypo-allergenic micro glass beads. These beads are small, smooth, and designed to be safe and evenly distributed within the blanket's stitched pockets.
What is 'Deep Touch Pressure Stimulation' (DTPS) and how does it work?
Deep Touch Pressure Stimulation (DTPS) is a therapeutic technique that applies firm, gentle, and evenly distributed pressure across the body. This pressure is believed to promote the release of feel-good hormones like serotonin and melatonin, while reducing cortisol, leading to a calming, grounding effect that helps alleviate anxiety, stress, and improve sleep quality.
Does the weighted blanket come with a cover?
No, the Brentfords Weighted Blanket does not include a cover. It is designed with integrated loops to allow you to easily attach your own choice of duvet cover, which helps with hygiene and extends the life of the blanket.
Troubleshooting
Blanket feels too heavy or too light.
The recommended blanket weight is 7-12% of your body weight. If you find it uncomfortable, verify your blanket's weight against your body weight. Consult a physician for personalized guidance. Consider exchanging for a different weight if necessary.
Beads feel like they are shifting unevenly.
The blanket is designed with compact stitched pockets to minimize bead shifting. If you notice slight unevenness, gently shake and adjust the blanket to redistribute the micro glass beads back into their designated compartments.
Feeling too warm under the blanket.
While the microfibre cover is breathable, weighted blankets can retain body heat. Try using a lighter duvet cover, ensuring your bedroom temperature is cool, or wearing lighter sleepwear. Info needed: [Is this blanket suitable for warm climates/summer use?]
My child can't move the blanket on their own.
This blanket is not suitable for very young children who cannot move it independently. It is critical for safety that the user can always remove the blanket themselves. If this is the case, discontinue use for that child immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Choose the Right Weight: Consult your physician for the most accurate recommendation. Generally, select a blanket that is between 7-12% of your body weight. For example, a 6kg blanket would be suitable for someone weighing 50-85kg.
Unpack: Carefully remove the blanket from its packaging.
Attach a Cover (Recommended): Locate the integrated loops on the blanket. Align these with the ties inside a compatible duvet cover (sold separately) and secure them. This makes cleaning significantly easier.
Compatibility
User Age: Suitable for both adults and children. However, it must not be used by very young children who lack the physical ability to move the blanket off themselves. Ensure the user can always remove the blanket independently.
Covers: Compatible with standard duvet covers that have internal ties or loops to secure the blanket.
Care
Daily Use: If using a duvet cover, simply wash the cover regularly according to its own care instructions.
Spot Cleaning: For minor spills or stains on the weighted blanket itself, spot clean immediately using a damp cloth and mild detergent. Gently blot the area; do not rub vigorously.
Deep Cleaning: Info needed: [Specific instructions for machine washing or professional cleaning of the weighted blanket. Without a cover, regular deep cleaning may be required, and the description does not specify this for the blanket itself. Avoid machine washing unless explicitly stated as it can damage the beads or blanket structure].
Drying: Always air dry flat to ensure even drying and prevent damage to the internal bead structure. Do not tumble dry, iron, or bleach. Ensure it is completely dry before storage to prevent mold or mildew.
