Q: My blanket is pilling! What should I do?

A: Pilling is a natural process that occurs with all fabrics over time and is not a sign of poor quality. Pilling occurs at the microscopic ends of the fibers that make up your blanket, where the ends of one fiber can rub together and get tangled with the ends of another fiber over time, create a little bump or 'pill'. Durable fabrics like denim, cotton, and polyester will hold up well over time, but will still experience occasional pilling. The best way to remove pills is using a pill shaver, pill comb, sweater stone - start with the lightest grit possible and increase as needed. Regular machine washing and tumble drying can increase the pilling process due to the friction caused during washing, so wherever possible we recommend spot-cleaning. However, pilling will eventually disappear over time as all the excess fiber ends are removed / fall off over the course of use.

Q: How should I wash my Knit blanket?

A: Because the friction of your washing machine can cause pilling, we recommend spot cleaning if pilling is bothersome to you. Knit blankets can also be dry-cleaned if that is preferred.

Unlike blankets filled with beads or plastic, Knit weighted blankets can be machine washed on a delicate cycle and tumble dried if necessary (they can also be laid flat to dry on top of a towel).

Q: What is Knit blanket made of?

A: The outer shell is breathable jersey polyester (like your favorite T-shirt, but softer!), and the inner filling is recycled polyester fluff. The recycling process for plastic bottles basically creates a fabric 'fluff' which is then used to fill our blankets. We firmly believe that recycled polyester is more sustainable than cotton due to the lower water usage and use of upcycled materials

Q: Are Knit blankets good for hot sleepers?

A: The Knit is a fantastic option for hot sleepers or for anyone who finds themselves sweating under traditional weighted blankets that trap body heat. It's open-knit design allows for superior breathability.

Q: Why are weighted blankets smaller than my bed?

A: Unlike regular blankets, weighted blankets are designed not to drape over the sides of your bed. If weighted blankets did drape, they would apply significantly more pressure and may feel uncomfortable.

From tiny paws to big daddy bears, there’s a perfect size to keep everyone cool and rested. Here’s a handy guide to help you decide.

Small: 12 lbs, 44” x 60” (ideal for adults who weigh 120-160 lbs.)

Medium: 16 lbs, 48” x 72” (ideal for adults who weigh 160-200 lbs.)

Large: 22 lbs, 60” x 80” (ideal for adults who weigh 200+ lbs., as a blanket for two, or as a bed blanket on Queen beds or larger)

XL: 28 lbs, 80” x 80” (ideal blanket for couples or covering a King size bed)

Please note the blanket will not drape over the sides of your bed as that could make the blanket feel uncomfortably heavy)
