Brentfords Weighted Blanket

Brentfords Weighted Blanket — 8kg Double/King (150 x 200cm)

A heavy, evenly-weighted blanket designed to apply gentle, consistent pressure across the body — a concept often called "deep touch pressure therapy" — marketed toward better sleep and general relaxation.

Key features:

  • 8kg weight, 150 x 200cm — sized for a double or king bed, or draping over a sofa

  • Even weight distribution — compact stitched pockets keep the fill spread evenly rather than shifting to one end

  • Filling: certified, non-toxic micro glass beads — gives the weight without excessive bulk

  • 100% polyester cover and padding — soft, breathable, and durable

  • Hypoallergenic — designed to be gentle on sensitive skin

  • OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified — tested against a list of over 1,000 regulated substances for chemical safety

Good to know before buying:

  • Weight guidance: manufacturers and some sleep sources suggest a weighted blanket at roughly 7–12% of your body weight — at 8kg, this suits adults around 65–115kg; lighter Brentfords options (4kg, 6kg, 10kg) are available if that range doesn't fit you

  • Marketed toward anxiety, stress, insomnia, and autism-related sensory needs, but it's a comfort product, not a medical device — if you're managing a diagnosed condition, it's worth checking with a healthcare professional on whether a weighted blanket is a good fit for you

  • Only suitable for ages 3+, per the manufacturer's disclaimer — not intended for infants

  • Comes in multiple colours and weights, so double-check you're ordering the exact grey/8kg/double combination if that's what you want

  • Also available in a teddy fleece version if you'd prefer a fluffier texture over the standard polyester cover

Best for anyone wanting an affordable, well-certified weighted blanket for general comfort and sleep, in a double/king size. If you fall well outside the 65–115kg guidance range, check Brentfords' 4kg, 6kg or 10kg versions instead for a better weight match.
