Weighted blankets

IKEA weighted blankets for comfort and a sense of calm

Weighted duvets look like regular, box‑quilted duvets – but with one important difference: PET plastic pellets in the core create pleasantly heavy blankets that feel like a gentle embrace. The pellets settle around your body like a cloak and create an even, soothing pressure that can feel relaxing. Our weighted blankets are medium‑warm, breathable and help regulate temperature, so you can use them all year round. If you would like to buy a comforting weighted blanket, you can find your new sleep helper right here – or try one out first in your local IKEA store.

The key features and benefits of our weighted blankets at a glance:

• Gentle pressure: The weight creates an even, comforting pressure that feels like a hug and can have a calming effect.
• Falling – and staying – asleep under a hug: The extra weight can promote relaxation, which helps many people to drop off and sleep through the night more easily.
• Year‑round use: Medium‑warm, breathable, temperature‑regulating weighted duvets are suitable for all seasons without feeling stifling or too hot.
• Quality materials: Renewable cotton and recycled PET plastic pellets provide high comfort with a more sustainable profile.
• Standard sizes and flexible covers: The blankets fit our standard single duvet covers and can be combined just as you like.
• Safety and care: Recommended from 12 years and up; they can be hand‑washed or wiped clean with a damp cloth.

Whether you are specifically looking for a heavy blanket to help you sleep or simply curious to try one out, you can find weighted blankets here that are designed to feel genuinely good.

What a heavy blanket can do for your sleep

You might be a ‘tucked‑in’ sleeper – not exactly a scientific term, but you know the feeling. You’ll recognise yourself if you love being wrapped up and snug under your duvet, whether you’re on the sofa or in bed.

This is where our weighted duvets come in: thanks to the PET plastic pellets in the core, they not only cocoon you like a pod, they also apply gentle pressure to your body. This can help you unwind and make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep, especially on nights when there is not much time for deep rest. And do not worry: despite the extra weight, air circulates through the box‑stitch pattern and fine materials – such as cotton from more sustainable sources – so these medium‑warm duvets never feel suffocating or overly hot. Instead, you can enjoy their special comfort and stand‑out properties all year round. If you do feel chilly, simply layer your weighted blanket with a wool throw or cosy IKEA plaid.

Covers and more: everything around your weighted blanket

Our weighted blankets make styling your bed refreshingly simple. You will find matching single duvet covers, as well as plaids, bedspreads and throws to add extra warmth when it’s colder. To complement your heavy sleep blanket, IKEA also offers a wide range of pillows. Whether you sleep on your back or side, prefer smaller or larger sizes, with down or polyester filling – your head can enjoy the same level of comfort as the rest of your body. For even more comfort, explore our mattresses and bed frames for a combination of good looks and great support. Bedside tables and under‑bed storage, soft bedroom rugs and blackout curtains complete the range. Ready for better nights?
