The Silentnight Restore Cooling Weighted Blanket is currently available on Amazon for £38.59, a significant reduction from its £70 recommended retail price. This offer is exclusive to Amazon Prime members as part of the Prime Day sale. The blanket weighs 6.8kg and measures 150cm by 200cm, earning a 4.2 out of 5-star rating from 113 customer reviews.
Features and Benefits
According to Silentnight, the blanket is designed to provide a therapeutic gentle embrace that may help reduce stress and anxiety. The deep touch pressure stimulation generated by the weight is intended to promote deeper and more restful sleep. Unlike many weighted blankets, this model incorporates an innovative cooling fabric on one side, specifically aimed at addressing overheating, night sweats, and hot flushes while still delivering the comfort expected from a weighted blanket.
The blanket contains discreet weighted glass beads stitched into a soft and breathable quilted cover. These beads are held within evenly stitched compartments to minimise noise and movement while ensuring uniform weight distribution. Silentnight also offers a 12-month manufacturer's guarantee with the product.
Customer Feedback
One satisfied buyer commented: "I absolutely love this Silentnight weighted cooling blanket! From the first night I used it, I noticed a huge improvement in the quality of my sleep. The gentle weight feels incredibly calming – like a hug – and really helps me relax and fall asleep faster." Another reviewer wrote: "This item is definitely worth the investment if you're looking for a great weighted blanket that won't let you overheat. The weight feels like you are being embraced in a big comfort burrito, but you're still able to move around."
However, not all feedback is entirely positive. One critical review noted: "This weighted blanket fits a double bed and keeps you reasonably cool. However, the cooling effect loses its effectiveness soon after opening. Another issue is that the underside becomes very scratchy in areas where your toes or heel rub against it." Another customer shared: "I'm glad I took the plunge and got this. Most amazing blanket ever! I do get hot, but that's my menopause speaking. However, the weight has helped me sleep better at night."
