FAQ

Quick answers to the questions we get asked most. If something is not here, write to hello@weartrygg.com — we reply within 2 business days.

Which weight should I choose?

Count on roughly 10% of your body weight. Between 50 and 95 kg, take the 7 kg. Above 95 kg, or if two of you sleep under the same blanket, take the 11 kg in 150 x 200 cm. When in doubt, choose the lighter one: a blanket that is too heavy is a far more common regret than one that is slightly too light.

Does it get too warm?

Less than you would expect. The weight comes from the glass microbeads, not from the thickness of the cloth: the blanket is dense, not insulating. The fleece side is warmer, the sherpa side more enveloping — you choose by season simply by turning it over. If you are very sensitive to heat, sleep with a light sheet between you and the blanket.

Can it go in the washing machine?

Yes, at 30 °C, delicate cycle, no fabric softener. Dry it flat in the open air: no tumble dryer, which damages the sherpa. Check your machine capacity — for the 11 kg model a laundrette is often simpler.

How long before I feel a difference?

The sensation of pressure is immediate, the moment you put it over you. For your sleep habit, allow about a week — the first few nights many people find the feeling unfamiliar before they stop wanting to sleep without it. That is also why we give sixty nights to try rather than fourteen days.

What if two of us share a bed?

Take the 150 x 200 cm format in 11 kg. One caveat: under a shared blanket each person feels less pressure, and the other person’s movements travel across. Many couples end up with two individual blankets, which usually works better.

Where is it shipped from?

From Germany. Allow 3 to 5 business days with free delivery. No customs charges: the price displayed is the final price, VAT included.

What are the compartments for?

The quilted 10 x 10 cm compartments keep the glass microbeads evenly spread. Without them the beads slide to one side after a few weeks and the blanket loses the point of being weighted. It is the number one flaw of cheap weighted blankets, and the first thing worth checking before you buy any of them.

Is it suitable for children?

No. Our blankets are designed for adults only. A weighted blanket must never be used by a child, nor by anyone who could not remove it unaided. It is also not advised in cases of respiratory or circulatory problems, or sleep apnoea. This is not a medical device: if in doubt, speak to your doctor.

What if it does not suit me?

Write to us within sixty nights, we send you a prepaid return label, and we refund you in full on receipt. No justification to give, no fees withheld.
