Dunelm's Fogarty Calm and Cosy Weighted Blanket, priced at £35, has earned near-4.8-star ratings from shoppers who report improved sleep and praise its comfort and value. The green-coloured blanket is designed to have a calming effect, with the aim of providing a better sleeping experience, according to Dunelm.
Filled with glass beads, the blanket offers an extra layer of comfort and helps relieve pressure in the body. It is crafted with soft microfibre and filled with polyester fibre for a softer feel. For ease of use and care, the blanket is suitable for machine washing and tumble drying at a low temperature.
Shopper Reviews Highlight Comfort and Value
Shoppers who purchased the blanket awarded it a near 4.8-star rating. One happy shopper wrote: "The best weighted blanket I have owned, and really good value. Soft, and a lovely colour. Really happy customer."
Another added: "I have purchased Fogarty products for years due to the reliable quality, so when I saw this weighted blanket I was intrigued & thought I would try it out. I think 7kgs is too heavy for me, however my son loves it so I am happy with the purchase."
A third said: "Beautiful well made weighted blanket in a lovely sage free colour. Really pleased with my purchase, have used it so much and my sleep has improved." A fourth added: "Bought this blanket for my granddaughter who is a light sleeper. From the first night she slept soundly, the blanket is comforting . Colour is lovely."
Alternative Weighted Blanket Options
For those seeking alternatives, Dusk's Weighted Blanket is available for £29. The retailer highlights that this natural coloured blanket is designed to help you unwind, crafted with microfibre and weighing 4.2kg for gentle pressure relief.
Another option is The Oodie's Grey Weighted Blanket, reduced from £109 to £76.30. This price includes a 4.5kg weighted blanket, with options up to 9kg at a separate price, featuring a seven-layer design that is soft to the touch to help enable and support sleep.
Mixed Feedback on Weight and Care
While most reviews were positive, one less pleased customer said: "Looks good on the bed and I love the green colour. It is heavier than I expected and as yet I have not slept under the blanket so not really sure if it will meet my need. I tend to over heat even in winter so suspect sadly the blanket may remain decorative on the spare bed."
Another added: "Great value for money and does the job but no removable cover and can only handwash. That will be very difficult when it weighs 7kg."
