Weight & size guide
Choosing for a child comes down to three things: their body weight, their height, and whether they can move the blanket on their own. Here’s how to get all three right.
Start with body weight
Body weight sets the weight of the blanket. Height decides the size that fits them best.
| Your child’s body weight | Recommended blanket |
|---|---|
| 40 – 60 lb | 36″×48″ · 5 lb |
| 60 – 80 lb | 40″×60″ · 7 lb |
Under 40 lb? Wait. A weighted blanket isn’t suitable for a child below this weight, regardless of how old they are.
Between the two? Choose the lighter option. Deep Touch Pressure works well at a lighter weight, and too heavy is the most common reason a child won’t settle under it.
Then check height
The blanket should cover your child from shoulders to feet, without a lot of excess hanging over the edge of the bed. Excess fabric pulls weight off their body and onto the floor, which makes the blanket feel lighter than intended and shifts through the night.
- 36″×48″ suits children up to around 4′0″ (48″) tall
- 40″×60″ suits children roughly 4′0″ to 5′0″ (60″) tall
If weight and height point to different sizes, follow body weight. A blanket that’s slightly short is comfortable; a blanket that’s too heavy isn’t. Kids naturally shift toward the head of the bed anyway, so a little less length at the feet goes unnoticed.
Can your child move it off on their own? This is the one non-negotiable check. Before your child sleeps under the blanket, watch them push it off unassisted while lying down. If they can’t, the blanket is too heavy for them right now — size down or wait until they can do so easily. This matters more than any number in the table.
Not suitable for babies or toddlers. Weighted blankets should never be used with infants or toddlers, or with any child who can’t reposition and remove the blanket independently.
Sensitive, sensory-seeking, or new to weight? Many parents choose an Aricove blanket for children with sensory processing differences, ADHD or autism, and it’s often used at rest time as well as bedtime. Start with the blanket over their legs while they read or wind down, and let them pull it up when they’re ready. Give it a week or two — the settling-in period is normal.
Never use it as a restraint, and keep it away from your child’s face at all times.

Gentle Weight, Measured Effects
That settled feeling is your nervous system responding to broad, even pressure. Here's what the research found — including how little weight it takes.
Twenty minutes under weight significantly lowered anxiety and pulse rate. The group without a blanket grew more anxious. The 5lb pad performed on par with 14lb and 20lb.
Adults with clinical insomnia – average age 44, 4 in 5 women – slept measurably better after a month than the control group. Daytime fatigue, stress and anxiety eased alongside it.
Blood pressure, pulse and oxygen were monitored throughout and stayed within normal range. Nearly two-thirds felt less anxious afterwards.
*Based on peer-reviewed clinical research on deep touch pressure and weighted blankets. A weighted blanket is not a medical device, individual results vary.

Exactly what I was looking for at a great price!
“If you're thinking "Too good to be true", it's not! Good quality, great price, love the matching bag, absolutely worth the money. I sleep with a 15-20 lb weighted blanket every night and will usually bring one with me when we travel by car. However, as you can imagine, it's REALLY hard to travel with a weighted blanket when you're flying or traveling any way other than your own car. I wanted to find a 5-7 lb weighted blanket that I could pack in a suitcase or travel with more discreetly. I was DELIGHTED to find an option that was under $100 (on sale), cooling, and even came with its own adorable travel bag!! It arrived quickly and is exactly what I was looking for. I'll continue to use my larger heavyweight blankets at home and when we visit family because 5 lbs barely registers these days, but it is WAY better than no weight at all! And now I don't need to try to awkwardly sneak a 20-lb duffel bag into a hotel room. Really, really pleased with this.”Gentle Hug!
“I purchased a smaller blanket for a grandchild, & it is perfect! (or it will be! I ordered one too small but am getting the next size up). She tried it out and said that it was like, "A GENTLE HUG"!”So far so good!
“My son is 6 years old and has been a very restless sleeper. He was getting up consistently an hour after bed times (I don't think he had fallen asleep yet) for about three weeks straight. So far, one week in, he has slept soundly through the night with his weighted blanket. Fingers crossed this continues! The blanket is just the right weight and he does not get overheated on those summer nights as well.”27 verified reviews of Small Weighted Blanket

This is intended for a child, but also a very good size and weight for a petite woman like me. I previously bought one from another company that was heavier (not their fault - my choice) and not machine-washable (cover was machine washable though). I like this a lot more than what I had before. Better quality in my opinion. I really like the fact that I can wash the whole blanket in a washer. I washed it as soon as I received it - before my first use. It washed well. Oh, I also like the storage bag that came with the blanket. I think it can be very handy. I would be happy to recommend this item. I may buy another for my mom as she also has some sleep trouble.
Love the smaller blanket! It’s perfect for just covering my feet in end of bed. Helps with my neuropathy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Honest answers to the questions we hear most — before you order.
Yes. In a study of 122 adults, a 5lb pad lowered anxiety and pulse rate on par with 14lb and 20lb blankets. Even contact settles the body – not poundage. And light enough to shift under is why people keep using it.
Different jobs. A 20lb blanket lives on the bed and stays there. This one moves – chair, couch, car, suitcase. Plenty of customers own both and use them at different hours.
Most people use it more in the evening than overnight. Over the lap while reading, across the legs at a desk. In one study, twenty minutes was enough to measurably settle the nervous system.
These are the three reasons people reach for it most. Customers with restless legs notice the pressure across their legs first. Sore joints get contact without ache. And weight gives a racing mind something else to attend to.
No, it covers you, not the bed, so nothing pulls away when you turn. The beads sit in sealed compartments and stay quiet. If you both want weight, one each beats sharing.
Yes, with one condition: they must be able to push it off themselves, easily and every time. Both our sizes are light enough that most can. Check with your pediatrician if unsure.
Made to help you rest, head to toe
