Sleep Well For Less - Last Chance
Emma weighted blankets use gentle, even pressure to help you relax, whether you're winding down on the sofa or settling into bed. The Emma Hug Weighted Blanket weighs 7kg, with fine glass beads held in quilted microfibre pockets so the weight stays spread evenly, and a cotton layer for a comfortable feel. It's approved by the National Bed Federation and measures 150 x 200cm. Free UK delivery on orders over £100 and finance options on eligible orders come as standard.

A weighted blanket isn't for everyone, and the right weight matters more than almost anything else about it. Some people find the steady pressure calming and wind down more easily under one. Others find it too heavy or too warm. We'd rather you know which group you're likely to fall into before you buy, so this guide covers who the Emma Hug suits, how to use it, and when a different blanket or no weighted blanket at all is the better choice.
Three things decide whether a weighted blanket will work for you.

| Size | A weighted blanket is designed to cover you, not to hang over the sides of the bed like a duvet. | The blanket's dimensions. The Emma Hug measures 150 x 200cm. |

There's no right or wrong way to use one. You can lay it over you in bed, either on top of your duvet or on its own on warmer nights, or wrap it around your shoulders on the sofa. Many people use theirs in the evening to wind down rather than all night.
If you're new to weighted blankets, start with shorter sessions and build up. Make sure you can always move the blanket off easily. If it feels too heavy, too warm or restrictive, take it off.
Not everyone should use a weighted blanket. They may not be suitable for very young children, expectant mothers, older people, or anyone with low blood pressure, a respiratory condition, type 2 diabetes or claustrophobia. If any of these apply to you, speak to a doctor before buying.
A weighted blanket doesn't replace your duvet. It does a different job.

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What weight of weighted blanket should I choose? | As a general guide, choose a blanket around 10% of your body weight. The Emma Hug weighs 7kg, so it suits adults weighing around 70kg. This is a starting point rather than a strict rule, and personal preference plays a big part. If you're unsure, call our team and we'll help you decide. |
| Who shouldn't use a weighted blanket? | Weighted blankets may not be suitable for very young children, expectant mothers, older people, or anyone with low blood pressure, a respiratory condition, type 2 diabetes or claustrophobia. If any of these apply to you, speak to a doctor before using one. You should always be able to move the blanket off yourself easily. |
| Can children use the Emma Hug Weighted Blanket? | The Emma Hug is a 7kg adult blanket. For a child, we recommend choosing a weighted blanket made specifically for children and checking with a doctor to find the right weight before buying. |
| Can you wash an Emma weighted blanket? | No. The Emma Hug can't be machine washed and should be sponge cleaned only. Deal with marks as soon as they happen, and let the blanket dry fully before using it again. |
| What size is the Emma Hug Weighted Blanket? | It measures 150 x 200cm. That's enough to cover one adult, whether you're using it in bed or on the sofa. |
| Will a weighted blanket make me too hot? | It adds an extra layer, so it can feel warmer than a duvet alone. The Emma Hug has a cotton layer and quilted microfibre pockets designed to be breathable. If you sleep hot, try using it on its own on warmer nights rather than on top of your duvet, or use it in the evening to wind down instead of all night. |
| What guarantee comes with the Emma Hug? | The Emma Hug Weighted Blanket comes with a 1-year guarantee when bought from Land of Beds. |
