CHOOSING A WEIGHT - For children and young teens we recommend a blanket that is 10% of the body weight plus 1 or 2 pounds. For Adults 10% of body weight is recommended. Our blankets become longer as the weight increases to accommodate young children and full-grown adults. LUXURIOUS REMOVABLE MINKY COVER - The Restorology Weighted Blanket comes with a soft and therapeutic removable cover made from a high quality Minky material. DUAL CONSTRUCTION - The removable cover is machine washable for easy care. Simply wash the cover cold on gentle cycle and dry on gentle or air-dry if preferred. The removable cover helps preserve the weighted pellets from wear and tear in the washing machine making sure that the pellets are in great shape for years to come.
