Many people notice that a “Queen” weighted blanket is usually 60"×80", not 90"×90" like a traditional comforter. This is normal.
Weighted blankets are designed to sit on your body, not to hang over the sides of the bed. If the blanket is too wide, much of the weight will drape off the edges, making it more likely to slide and reducing the pressure you actually feel.
That’s why most queen-size weighted blankets are closer to the mattress size, such as 60"×80". A slightly smaller blanket helps keep the weight centered on your body, providing better comfort and a more secure feel.
At Uttermara, our weighted blanket sizes follow industry standards and offer a wide range of options for different users and scenarios:
-
Adult Sizes: 48" × 72" (≈ 122 × 183 cm) 60" × 80" (≈ 152 × 203 cm) 80" × 87" (≈ 203 × 221 cm)
-
Kids’ Sizes: 20" × 30" (≈ 51 × 76 cm) 36" × 48" (≈ 91 × 122 cm) 41" × 60" (≈ 104 × 152 cm)
-
Lap Pads: 24" × 29" (≈ 61 × 74 cm) 41" × 53" (≈ 104 × 135 cm)
Below we’ll walk you through how to choose the right size based on who will use the blanket and how it will be used.
1. Adults (Single Use)
For single adults, the right weighted blanket size depends not only on your bed, but also on how and where you plan to use it—sleeping, lounging, traveling, or even decorative layering.
Bed Blanket (Primary Sleep Use)
For most single sleepers, these two sizes work best:
-
48" × 72" — A classic single-size option that provides full coverage from shoulders to feet and pairs well with twin and full beds.
-
60" × 80" — Offers extra room for taller individuals and works comfortably on queen beds without excessive overhang.
Sofa, Lounging & Multi-purpose Use
If you plan to use your weighted blanket beyond the bed—on the couch, in a reading chair, or while relaxing:
-
41" × 53" — A versatile medium size perfect for movie nights, reading, or curling up on the sofa
-
41" × 60" — Offers more leg and torso coverage, great for longer lounging sessions or working from home
These sizes are easier to move around and ideal if you want one blanket that works across multiple spaces.
Travel & Office Comfort
For single users who want portability and targeted calming pressure:
-
24" × 29" — Ideal for travel, flights, office chairs, meditation, or placing over legs
-
41" × 53" — Works well as a lap blanket during work or long sitting periods
These compact options deliver the benefits of deep pressure without the bulk of a full bed blanket.
2. Adults (Couples / Shared Use)
-
80"×87" — Standard choice for two people sharing a bed. Wide enough to cover both partners comfortably while keeping the weight centered.
Tip: Some couples prefer two individual blankets (e.g., each partner uses their own 48"×72" or 60"×80") so they can choose different weights without compromise.
3. Teenagers & Seniors
Teens
Teens can often use adult sizes:
-
48"×72" or 60"×80" — Depending on height and bed size
-
41"×53" — Great as a cozy lounge option
Seniors
For older adults, comfort and manageability are priorities:
-
41"×53" lap blankets — Ideal for reading, resting in a chair, or calming sensory needs
-
Bed blankets (48"×72") — For single beds or less bulky use
4. Children
Choosing a child’s weighted blanket is all about age, body size, and safety.
-
20"×30" — Best for newborns and infants (with supervision)
-
36"×48" — A good all-around size for toddlers and young kids
-
41"×60" — Fits older kids and can serve as a bridge size to teen/adult blankets
Safety Tip: Always ensure the blanket is easy for the child to move.
Choosing the Right Weight
Once you’ve picked the right size, choosing the correct weight is essential for comfort and effectiveness.
A general guideline:
-
Target weight ≈ 8-12% of the user’s body weight (e.g., someone weighing 150 lbs might choose a 15-lb blanket)
Adjusting for preferences
-
Children & Seniors: Consider lighter options for safety and comfort
-
First-time users: Start slightly lighter and work your way up
-
Deep Touch Pressure Fans: Slightly heavier blankets can offer a more grounded feel
Choosing the right size and weight makes all the difference in comfort and effectiveness. Whether you’re sleeping, relaxing, or working, Uttermara offers weighted blankets designed to fit your body—and your lifestyle.
