Pro tip
• Leaving your Blanket out in the open will remind you to use it. When you’re not enjoying its mind and body benefits, the Weighted Blanket makes for a beautiful addition to your bedroom or lounge. -
Many Weighted Blanket companies recommend a weight that is 10% of your body weight, but this is a misunderstanding. What dictates the amount of pressure on your body is the density (the weight per area) as opposed to the overall weight of the blanket.
The Shakti Weighted Blanket is 16.5 pounds, with enough surface area (40" x 63") to cover most bodies like a blanket.
A heavier blanket is simply a larger blanket with the same amount of density. It won’t feel any heavier when you are using it.
By layering organic cotton, the Shakti Blanket applies even pressure and density across all parts of your body. If you’re looking for an extra heavy sensation—simply fold the blanket over while you use it.
-
The Shakti Weighted Blanket can be machine washed separately in a commercial front-loading machine. Check the machine’s weight capacity is compatible with a 16.5lbs+ dry load before washing. Select the delicate cycle and use mild or eco-friendly detergent. Air dry flat or tumble dry on low in a weight-compatible dryer.
Avoid all top-loading washing and drying machines, hanging The Blanket while it’s wet (as this can stretch the weave), ironing, fabric softeners or bleach.

I have had several weighted blankets, and this is by far my favorite. It is noiseless, the weight is perfectly evenly distributed, it is big enough to cover me at night, and it is attractive. It is not inexpensive, but for me it has been totally worth it. Some of my best sleep in years.

Relaxation & General Wellbeing, Aches & Pains, Sleep, Stress & AnxietyRated 4 out of 5 starsA perfect weight that makes you feel enveloped but not being crushed. It's breathable so you don't get hot if using on a sunny day. It's a perfect addition to my black Shakti mat and when I combine them together I sleep like a baby.
I love the feeling of the spikes.
The initial sensation of spikes on your skin (but make sure you don't hit a sensitive area) is exhilarating, pushing into the skin with just the right amount of pressure. The best part is removing yourself off the mat; either the spikes feel like they are popping out 1 by 1 or you don't want to move as you know you'll have to exert pressure onto spikes, causing momentary pain.
- Ann Michele B.Verified Buyer1 year agoRated 5 out of 5 starsHas become a ‘must ritual’ before bed!
Delivers an impressive yet perfect amount of weight as I lay down on my Shakti mat for my 20 minute session, just before bed.
I continue to be surprised with the comforting yet stimulating sensation that sends me into a full night of deep, restorative sleep!
