Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) | Unelma Sleep of Finland

🧺 General Product Questions

What is a knitted weighted blanket?
A knitted weighted blanket is made from soft, chunky yarn that provides gentle, evenly distributed pressure without beads or fillers. It’s breathable, stylish, and helps promote calm and better sleep.

How does a weighted blanket work?
Weighted blankets use deep pressure stimulation, a gentle, even pressure that activates the parasympathetic nervous system. This helps reduce stress hormones, increase feel-good hormones like serotonin, and promote deeper, more restful sleep.

What’s the difference between knitted and traditional weighted blankets?
Knitted weighted blankets are bead-free, more breathable, and visually appealing, perfect for year-round use and everyday comfort. Traditional blankets often use beads or pellets sewn into pockets and may trap more heat.

⚖️ Choosing the Right Blanket

What weight should I choose?
A good rule of thumb is to select a blanket that is approximately 10% of your body weight.
Example:

  • 50 kg → 5–6 kg blanket

  • 70 kg → 7 kg blanket

  • 90 kg → 9 kg blanket
    If you’re in between sizes or unsure, size down for a lighter feel.

Are weighted blankets safe for kids or seniors?
Yes, when properly weighted and used safely. The user must be able to remove the blanket on their own. For children under 3 years old, we do not recommend use due to safety concerns.

Can I use a knitted weighted blanket if I’m a hot sleeper?
Absolutely! Our knitted design allows for airflow and heat regulation, making it a great option for those who overheat easily.

🛌 Usage & Care

When should I use my weighted blanket?
You can use it:

  • At night to improve sleep

  • During the day to reduce stress

  • While reading, meditating, or relaxing

  • At work or during breaks for grounding calm

Will the blanket make me feel trapped or restricted?
Not at all. The knitted design offers a soft, breathable hug, not a tight or heavy wrap. Most users report it feels soothing, not confining.
