Description

Overall, I’d say this one is probably best for a cold winter’s night, though I would note that Snuzi also sell a summer variant which I wasn’t able to test. The Sommio Weighted Blanket is an interesting one because unlike a lot of the other blankets, this one isn't filled with glass beads or any extra dense filling. Instead it's weight comes from the fact that it's constructed from chunky hand knitted 100pc cotton which is heavy enough to act as a weight in and of itself.

From my perspective, I was pretty satisfied with my weighted blanket trials. They certainly were comforting, and I did think they helped me get to sleep faster than usual. From my perspective, top marks - but obviously, it's a subjective thing. There’s a lot to like about Mela’s weighted blanket before you even get into bed with it. For starters, the brand offers a 30-day trial and if you don’t like it after that you can return it for free; a portion of sales goes to charity; any unwanted blankets are donated to homeless charities; and each blanket comes with a little brochure explaining how the blanket works and what else you can do to get a better night’s sleep. A nice touch. And thus we have the Orbit. In the world of weighted blankets, it does stand out in its own way. For a start, it’s the only weighted blanket I tested which didn’t come with a fleecy/velvety cover. Instead, this one feels more like a traditional cotton sheet, which personally I preferred. It’s definitely a cooler fabric for warmer months, ensuring you can use the Orbit all year round. In fact, I might even just dispense with my duvet entirely with this one.

Item details

It also, to my mind anyway, looks a bit more premium in a dark grey rather than the lighter silver which seems to be the industry standard. My personal favourites were the Mela and the Simba Orbit, both were quite different but I found both comfortable and cosy to sleep with. The pricing is quite different though so consider your budget. What is the best filler for weighted blankets?

The fabric strikes a good balance between that classic cotton feel and the velvet blankets with a premium micro-plush cover which feels very comfortable even if it is synthetic. The vast majority of weighted blankets (including all those that I tested) use tiny glass beads which feel a little bit like grains of sand, maybe a little bigger than that. A couple use special weighted fabric, but arguably it doesn’t make much of a difference. The only one I specifically noticed the filler of was the Snuzi option. While it looks a little similar to a woolly jumper in the picture above, the texture felt to me a little more like the material of a t-shirt, which I think is largely a good thing. A lot of these blankets can feel quite sweaty to sleep under, especially the velvety ones and that was not my experience here. The other thing to decide is what kind of material you prefer. A lot of weighed blankets use a synthetic micro-plush which is ultra-soft but personally I don’t love the feel of. Others use bamboo and cotton blends which aren’t as soft but they’re more traditional. You’ll know what feels best. Ultimately it’s fair to say that in terms of weight and getting that comfortable pressure, they’re all reliable for sending you off. Which is the best weighted blanket for adults? The most important thing to do is weigh yourself. When buying a weighted blanket, you should look for one around 10pc of your body weight. This is the sweet spot for maximum comfort. Too light and you won’t get that cosy feeling that helps soothe you and makes you fall asleep faster, too heavy and you’ll feel trapped and crushed, and you can injure yourself if you’re someone who rolls around in your sleep.

My only real qualm is the price. Simba’s offering is significantly more expensive than other options and is only available in single sizes. I did enjoy sleeping under it but I don’t know that it helped me drift off any faster than the other options out there. The cover for the blanket feels of lower quality than other examples, more like a particularly soft fleece than the velvety feel of the Mela or the more traditional cotton sheet cover of the Orbit. It’s certainly soft and comforting but I do wonder how it would fare in a wash.
