Argos has reduced the OHS Teddy Fleece 6kg Weighted Blanket from £31.99 to £21.99, offering shoppers a £10 saving on a cover described by buyers as 'marshmallow soft' and 'perfect for the winter'.
The blanket measures 125 x 180cm and features a fluffy teddy fleece outer layer, making it suitable for draping over a bed or curling up under on the sofa.
Weighted Design and Materials
The 6kg weighted design uses small stitched pockets filled with non-toxic, hypoallergenic micro glass beads to distribute the weight evenly. According to Argos, the blanket applies Deep Touch Pressure Stimulation, a technique that provides gentle, even pressure across the body, creating a sensation similar to being hugged.
Made from 100% polyester, the blanket is available in several colours, including cream, silver, charcoal, blush pink, green, natural and black, although prices may vary slightly depending on colour.
Shopper Reviews
Shoppers have praised the blanket's soft finish and comforting feel. One said: "It's lovely. A proper weighted blanket. Soft and snuggly, perfect for colder evenings." Another called it 'marshmallow soft', adding: "Absolutely love being cocooned in this marshmallow soft blanket when I'm resting. It is soft and like a warm hug."
A third reviewer noted: "This blanket is perfect for the winter, very heavy so pins you into the bed, no cold air can get in." However, one buyer was less impressed, saying: "Wish I hadn't ordered as it's too heavy to pick up so if you have muscle weakness problems then this is too heavy."
Alternative Options
Dunelm offers its Fogarty Calm and Cosy blanket at £35, available in 5kg and 7kg options, measuring 150 x 200cm. The Brentfords Teddy Fleece Weighted Blanket, with a similar fluffy finish, is available in various sizes and weights, including a 6kg option, with prices starting from £19.99.
