Let’s be honest — if you’ve ever craved that deep sense of physical relief after a long day, a king-size weighted blanket might be exactly what you’ve been missing. Over the past few years, weighted blankets have gone from niche wellness tools to sleep essentials for many people seeking deeper sleep and more restful nights.
Why the sudden popularity? Imagine being swaddled in a soft and snug cotton weighted blanket, like a warm hug that doesn’t let go (who doesn’t want to feel comfy and safe?). That’s pretty much the appeal. Unlike regular bedding, it’s not just cozy; weighted blankets are grounding.
Whether you’re winding down after a long day, feeling restless, or struggling with anxiety, our weighted blankets offer a proven sleep solution to promote restful sleep every night.
Weighted blankets are carefully engineered to do more than just keep you warm and toasty. Unlike other blankets, HomeSmart weighted blankets and comforters apply gentle, even pressure across your body, a sensation known as deep touch pressure, which can help calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep quality. Some people even report that a weighted blanket helped them fall asleep faster. Others say they wake up less often during the night under a weighted blanket — no more tossing and turning. Either way, there’s real science behind why weighted blankets actually work.
The average weighted blanket ranges from 10 to 25 pounds, and the ideal weight really depends on your body. A good rule of thumb is to choose a blanket that’s about 8 to 12 percent of your body weight — so if you weigh 180 pounds, a 20 lb blanket is likely your sweet spot. With multiple weight options available, you can find the perfect match for your needs. And if you’re looking for something with deeper pressure, HomeSmart offers one of the heaviest options out there — our king-size weighted blanket, available in an incredible 50 lbs of calming, full-body comfort.
HomeSmart’s weighted blankets and comforters are filled with tiny lead-free glass beads, evenly sewn into quilted pockets. That means consistent weight distribution — no annoying clumps or shifting during the night; just an even, calming pressure that helps your body relax and stay asleep longer.
Weighted blankets do more than just keep you cozy — the actual blanket will help you feel grounded, calm, and at ease, both physically and mentally. That’s why so many people swear by them for better and deeper sleep and stress relief.
The added weight works like a gentle massage, activating that deep touch pressure response that helps your body release calming hormones. It tells your brain: you’re safe, you can rest, I got you. This is why even a traditional weighted blanket can feel surprisingly effective for improving sleep, reducing anxiety, or just unwinding after a long day.
HomeSmart’s King-Sized Weighted Comforter takes it up a notch. It combines the benefits of a king-size weighted blanket with the plush, full-coverage feel of a true comforter. With five times the fill of standard weighted blankets, it uses non-toxic glass beads to deliver even pressure across the entire blanket. Plus, it looks just like a high-end comforter — perfect for beds you actually want to show off.
Choosing the right blanket is about more than just weight. You should consider temperature, fabric, and even who you’re sharing it with.
If you run hot at night, go for breathable fabrics like 100% cotton or our lightweight bamboo blends weighted blankets — they’re designed to keep you cool and comfortable year-round. Prefer extra coziness? Our plush or velvet-like shells are perfect for that warm, snuggled-in feel. Most HomeSmart weighted blankets come with removable covers, making them easy to clean and perfect for everyday use.
It’s also worth considering how easy your blanket is to maintain. Many of our king-size options come with a removable cover, which makes a huge difference when it’s time for a refresh. You don’t have to wash the entire blanket each time, just unzip the outer layer — it's machine washable. It’s a small feature, but one that busy sleepers and families really appreciate.
And with so many comforter sizes available — from twin to California king — you’ll never have to compromise on fit.If you're sharing with a partner who has different comfort needs, our cozy couple weighted blanket makes it easy — it features two distinct weight zones in one blanket, so each of you can sleep soundly with your preferred pressure. Whether you sleep solo, co-sleep with a partner, or need something that spans a large mattress, there’s a HomeSmart size that fits perfectly.
If you’ve ever woken up in the middle of the night feeling too hot under your blanket, you’re not alone. That’s why temperature regulation is a top concern for many weighted blanket users. Our all-season weighted blankets use breathable materials, selected specifically with hot sleepers in mind. You get the benefits of deep touch pressure without the extra heat.
We also offer options made with ultra-breathable materials like bamboo and cotton, both chosen to help you stay cool and comfortable through the night. Bamboo, especially, is naturally moisture-wicking and thermoregulating, making it a great pick for hot sleepers or warmer climates. Cotton adds that familiar softness while still allowing airflow, so you won’t overheat under the weight. Put together, these fabrics make our weighted blankets feel just right all year long, offering that gentle, calming pressure you love, without the heat buildup you don’t
Our weighted blankets are machine washable on a gentle cycle setting with cold water, which not only helps with hygiene but also maintains the integrity of the fabric. If you’ve ever done a wash test on other weighted blankets or comforters, you’ll notice ours retain their shape and feel better after repeated cleanings. For best results, dry the blanket on low or no heat to maintain its quality.
Some people love the silky, breathable feel of bamboo, especially when it comes to regulating temperature throughout the night. That’s why our duvet covers feature a dual-sided design, with one side made of silky soft bamboo and the other lined with premium microfiber, giving you options for both cool and cozy nights.
If plush is more your style, our velvet cover delivers. With its velvety finish and cloud-soft feel, it adds a layer of cozy luxury that’s hard to resist. Paired with our ultra-soft 400 thread-count blanket shell, it’s the kind of comfort you actually look forward to at the end of the day — soft, breathable, and seriously inviting.
Some people prefer the chunky knit design for its cozy, hand-knit look and feel.
Whether you’re a hot sleeper who needs something that stays cool, or someone who loves to wrap up in something warm and velvety, HomeSmart has a material — and a mood — for every kind of sleeper.
Need help winding down? A weighted blanket can be your go-to sleep solution. That grounded, tucked-in feeling helps you fall asleep more easily, even after a stressful day.
Not all weighted blankets are created equal when it comes to fill. At HomeSmart, we use lead-free glass beads, which are not only safer and more eco-conscious than plastic pellets but also offer a smoother feel. They’re less bulky, more durable, and better for even distribution.
While some brands still use plastic pellets, we prefer the precision and comfort of lead-free glass beads, sewn into compartments that keep the weight evenly spread, so it never pools in one corner.
Let’s break down what really makes a quality weighted comforter.
Lead free glass beads: Used in all HomeSmart Weighted Blankets for safe, consistent comfort. These are smoother, more eco-friendly, and distribute weight more evenly than bulkier plastic ones.
Even stitching: Prevents clumping and keeps the weight evenly spread across the entire blanket.
Soft, breathable fabric: Options like cotton and bamboo help regulate body temperature while still feeling cozy.
A king-size weighted blanket should cover the entire bed to ensure both individuals can enjoy the benefits.
We use precision stitching to ensure the fill remains evenly distributed, so you never have to worry about shifting weight or bunching.
From breathable bamboo to ultra soft velvet, we use materials that feel as luxurious as they are functional.
The ideal weight of your blanket is typically about 8–12% of your body weight, offering the right balance of comfort and effectiveness.
When it comes to weighted blankets, personalization and customization options can make a significant difference in the overall sleeping experience. Many manufacturers, such as Bearaby and YnM, offer a range of weights, sizes, and materials to cater to individual preferences. For instance, the Bearaby Cotton Napper is available in four different weights, ranging from 10 to 25 pounds, and eight distinct colors to match any bedroom decor. Additionally, some companies provide the option to customize the duvet cover, allowing users to choose from various patterns, colors, and materials. This level of personalization enables users to find the perfect weighted blanket that suits their body weight, sleeping style, and personal taste. Furthermore, some brands, like Baloo, offer a weighted comforter with a removable cover, making it easy to wash and maintain. By considering these personalization and customization options, individuals can find the best weighted blanket that meets their unique needs and preferences.
The environmental impact and sustainability of weighted blankets are essential considerations for eco-conscious consumers. Many weighted blanket manufacturers are now prioritizing sustainability by using eco-friendly materials, such as organic cotton, recycled polyester, and lead-free glass beads. For example, the Baloo weighted comforter is made from 100% clean and natural cotton, ensuring a reduced carbon footprint. Moreover, some companies, like Bearaby, use a unique knitting process that eliminates the need for plastic pellets or other non-biodegradable materials. When shopping for a weighted blanket, it’s crucial to look for brands that adhere to sustainable practices, such as using recyclable packaging, minimizing waste, and implementing energy-efficient manufacturing processes. By choosing an eco-friendly weighted blanket, consumers can enjoy a restful sleep while also contributing to a more sustainable future. Additionally, some brands offer machine-washable weighted blankets, which can help reduce the environmental impact of dry cleaning. Overall, the best weighted blankets are those that balance comfort, quality, and sustainability, making them an excellent choice for individuals who value both their sleep and the planet.
Weighted blankets don’t have to be high maintenance. It is important to follow care instructions to maintain the quality and longevity of your blanket. Our blankets can be spot-cleaned and air-dried or machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water.
To preserve the integrity of the fabric and stitching, we recommend laying our cotton weighted blankets flat to dry.
