What is a weighted blanket?
The fluffy blanket has a 6kg weighted design that features small stitched pockets filled with non-toxic, hypoallergenic micro glass beads to distribute the weight evenly. The gentle pressure created by the weight is designed to provide a comforting, snuggle-like sensation, making it an appealing option for anyone who enjoys feeling tucked in and cosy when settling down for the evening.

The blanket combines the soothing benefits of a weighted blanket with the luxurious comfort of teddy fleece.
According to Argos, the weighted blanket uses Deep Touch Pressure Stimulation, a technique that applies gentle, even pressure across the body. This is designed to create a comforting sensation, similar to being hugged, which may help some people feel more relaxed and settled when resting.
The blanket can be thrown over the duvet at night to help aid a better night’s sleep. Given it’s handy dimensions (perfect for a single bed) it can just as easily be kept close at hand on a sofa or chair for relaxed evenings spent indoors.

Made from 100% polyester, it has a soft, tactile finish that adds an extra layer of comfort when the weather turns chilly. 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.

What do shoppers say?
Shoppers have been sharing their thoughts on the weighted blanket from Argos with many praising its soft, fluffy finish and comforting feel. One shopper 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. I unpacked it and 30 mins of use I knew I’d come to rely on it.”
A third added: “This blanket is perfect for the winter, very heavy so pins you into the bed, no cold air can get in.”
One buyer was less impressed however, noting: “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.”
Another five-star review was delighted with the design saying: “Very soft and fluffy, good size for a single bed and a good weight to relax.”
