Interactive adult guide

Calculate a starting weight

Enter your body weight, then choose how noticeable you want the pressure to feel.

Your result will appear here.This calculator is for adults and provides general comfort guidance only.

A percentage calculation can narrow the choice, but it should never overrule comfort, mobility or the ability to remove the blanket easily. This adult calculator gives a starting range and matches it to the 5 kg, 7 kg and 9 kg options currently available from ScandinavianRest.

How the weighted blanket calculator works

Enter your body weight and choose gentle, balanced or firmer pressure. The tool calculates 8%, 10% or 12% of body weight, then shows the closest available adult blanket weight. This is an estimate rather than a prescription.

When to choose the lighter option

Choose lighter when you are new to weighted bedding, move frequently, sleep on your side, feel unsure between two weights or simply prefer easier movement. The heaviest possible blanket is not automatically the most comfortable.

Weight is only one part of the fit

Compare dimensions, warmth and construction as well as kilograms. The same total weight feels different when spread across a larger surface, and knitted blankets feel different from chambered weighted duvets.

Questions and answers

Good to know

What percentage of body weight should a weighted blanket be?

Around 10% is a common starting reference for adults, with lighter or firmer preferences on either side. It is not a universal rule.

Should I round up or down?

If you are exactly between available weights or unsure, the lighter option is the more cautious starting point.

Can I use this calculator for a child?

No. Children require age-appropriate product guidance and careful safety consideration. This calculator is for adults only.
