2. Choosing the Right Weight
For optimal comfort and effectiveness, it is recommended to select a weighted blanket that is approximately 7% to 10% of your body weight. If you are new to weighted blankets, starting with a lighter option within this range is advisable to allow for adjustment.
For example, an individual weighing 190-210 lbs would typically find a 20 lb weighted blanket suitable. Refer to the guide below for further assistance.

3. Product Design and Materials
The yescool Weighted Blanket is crafted from 100% polyester fabric, designed for durability and comfort. It features premium glass beads as fill material, providing even weight distribution.
3.1 Even Weight Distribution
The blanket is constructed with small 5"x5" compartments, each filled with glass beads. These compartments are secured with high-density stitching (15,000 stitches), ensuring the beads remain evenly distributed and preventing leakage or shifting during use.

3.2 Breathability and Cooling
Despite its weight, the blanket is designed to be breathable, promoting airflow to help regulate body temperature and prevent overheating during sleep.

3.3 Stitching Quality
The blanket features finest stitching (2.5-3mm per stitch) and includes 8 loops for securing a duvet cover, if desired. These details contribute to the blanket's durability and prevent weight shifting.

4. Setup and Placement
The yescool Weighted Blanket is designed to fit on top of your mattress without overhanging. For a Queen size bed (60" x 80"), the 60"x80" blanket is recommended for single use, providing full body coverage without excess material draping over the sides.
