King vs Queen — Pick the Perfect Size for Couples (and Stop Stealing Covers)

A king size weighted blanket works best for couples who want personal space and no cover-stealing, while a queen size weighted blanket fits smaller beds and single sleepers who want full coverage.

Gravity Blanket helps couples end the nightly battle over blankets by offering both sizes with precise weight distribution.

What size weighted blanket should couples buy?

Couples should choose based on bed size and sharing preferences. A king size weighted blanket measures approximately 200x220 cm and covers a king bed completely.

This size lets both partners enjoy the calming pressure without pulling or tugging. A queen size weighted blanket measures about 150x200 cm and works perfectly for queen beds or individuals who sleep alone.

The main difference is coverage. King size gives each person roughly 100 cm of width. Queen size works when one partner prefers a weighted blanket and the other does not, or for single sleepers who want generous coverage.

How do weighted blankets stop cover stealing?

Weighted blankets stay in place because of their design. Gravity Blankets use:

1. Premium glass beads distributed evenly across the fabric
2. Quilted compartments that prevent bead shifting
3. Heavier weight that resists pulling and tugging during sleep
4. Quality stitching that maintains shape through hundreds of washes

When both partners use a king size option, each side stays anchored. No more waking up cold because someone rolled over and took everything with them.

Who should use a king or queen weighted blanket?

King size weighted blanket users include:

1. Couples sharing a king or super king bed
2. Partners who both want weighted blanket benefits
3. Restless sleepers who move frequently at night
4. Anyone over 18 years who weighs enough to safely use the blanket

Queen size weighted blanket users include:

1. Single adults sleeping in queen or double beds
2. Couples where only one person wants a weighted blanket
3. People transitioning from traditional blankets
4. Adults over 18 years seeking better sleep quality

Who should avoid weighted blankets?

Do not use weighted blankets if you:

1. Are under 18 years old (children require specific pediatric versions)
2. Have respiratory conditions like asthma or sleep apnea
3. Cannot remove the blanket independently
4. Weigh less than 50 kg
5. Have circulatory issues or diabetes complications

Always consult a doctor if you have medical concerns. Gravity Blankets are designed for healthy adults seeking natural sleep improvement.

How much should a weighted blanket weigh?

Choose a blanket that equals 10% of your body weight. For couples using separate blankets:

1. Person weighing 70 kg = 7 kg blanket
2. Person weighing 90 kg = 9 kg blanket

Gravity Blanket offers multiple weight options with lab-tested bead distribution. Each blanket undergoes quality checks to ensure even weight spread and safe materials. The outer cover uses breathable, skin-safe fabric certified free from harmful chemicals.

Are weighted blankets legal and safe to use?

Yes. Weighted blankets sold in the Netherlands and EU must meet textile safety standards. Gravity Blankets comply with OEKO-TEX Standard 100, meaning the fabric and materials are tested for harmful substances. They are legal to purchase and use by adults over 18 years old.

Never use weighted blankets on infants, toddlers, or anyone who cannot remove them without help. This is a safety requirement, not a suggestion.
