Seven layers in the weighted blanket ensure a good night's sleep

At first glance, our weighted blanket may resemble a regular blanket, but it differs in two main aspects:
1) It is heavier. Our weighted blanket is a heavy blanket, available in weight ranges of 5-13 kg. The weight comes from tiny, silent glass beads measuring 0.8mm in diameter, which are evenly distributed throughout the blanket. The added weight provides a gentle, even pressure that has a calming and relaxing effect, reducing stress and improving the quality of your sleep.
2) It is 100% vegan. This means that the weighted blanket does not contain any down or feathers. Instead, our weighted blanket consists of 7 layers. The outer layer is made of 100% OEKO-TEX certified cotton, while the middle layers are made of polyester fibers, providing softness and warmth. The innermost layer contains the tiny glass beads that give the blanket its weight. We intentionally avoided using down and feathers as they can make the blanket too warm for most people. Therefore, the blanket may appear less "fluffy" compared to your regular blanket, but it comes with all the positive effects described above.
If you have any doubts, feel free to reach out to us through the chat or by phone - we are ready to answer any questions you may have.
Our weighted blanket falls in the middle of the warmth scale and can be used year-round by most people. Some customers who feel extra cold during winter have mentioned that they layer their regular blanket on top for additional warmth. If you have any doubts, feel free to reach out to us through the chat or by phone - we are here to assist you.
The Ella weighted blanket can be washed using a gentle cycle with a maximum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius. It is not suitable for tumble drying, ironing, or dry cleaning. After washing, it should be hung to dry immediately.
We offer free shipping on orders over €70 and we deliver within 2-4 business days
The 30-nights sleep guarantee can be seen as a trial period. During this period, you have the opportunity to have a weighted blanket delivered to your home and try it in your own bed without any risk. If, within the guarantee period, you find that the weighted blanket is not right for you, you can return it and receive a full refund.
There are two main reasons why we offer this extended sleep guarantee. Firstly, it can take some time for many people to adjust to sleeping with a weighted blanket - for some, it can take up to a month. Most people are not accustomed to sleeping with the extra weight on top of them, so we recommend starting with a few hours at a time initially and gradually increasing from there. We want you to take the time you need to get used to it without any stress, so you can experience all the positive effects the blanket can have on your sleep. Secondly, we find that more than 9 out of 10 customers absolutely love their weighted blanket after the first 2-4 weeks. So, there is a great chance that it can also have a positive impact on your sleep and that you will be happy with it.
You might be wondering, "What do you do with the used weighted blankets?" At present, we collect the used weighted blankets and either donate some of them or give them a "new life" by offering them at a greatly reduced price to individuals in need who can benefit from them. Please note that we do not sell returned/used blankets on our webshop - you can be assured of receiving a brand new blanket when you place your order here.
There has been a significant amount of research conducted on weighted blankets, and here are some of the recent studies. We hope you find it interesting.
Swedish study (2020): A group of researchers found that weighted blankets have a positive effect on sleep quality in individuals with severe depression, anxiety, and ADHD. Participants were assigned either a regular blanket or a weighted blanket. After just one month, it was evident that those using the weighted blankets experienced fewer sleep problems and felt less tired and depressed during the day compared to those using regular blankets (source).
American study (2020): Researchers in Florida examined the effects of weighted blankets on individuals admitted to a psychiatric unit. A total of 122 participants were involved, with half using a weighted blanket and the other half not. The group using the weighted blanket reported lower levels of anxiety compared to the group without one (source).
Study from 2020: In a study involving 28 individuals with significant sleep issues, participants were given weighted blankets to sleep with at night. After just six weeks, all participants reported an improvement in sleep quality, falling asleep faster, and experiencing less overall sleep disturbance (source).
Swedish study (2022): Researchers conducted a study to investigate the effects of weighted blankets on the production of hormones such as melatonin (the sleep hormone). The study involved 26 healthy individuals with an average age of 24. The findings showed that the production of melatonin was 32% higher during the first hour of sleep for participants using a weighted blanket compared to those using a regular blanket (source).
Yes, our weighted blanket is OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified (cert. no. 16.HCN.81302). This ensures that all components of our product meet the highest requirements and have been thoroughly tested for harmful substances.
We always recommend consulting your own doctor before using a weighted blanket if you are unsure whether the blanket can be beneficial or harmful due to a medical condition, injury, or similar circumstances. It is your responsibility to ensure that the blanket will not worsen your condition.
