A weighted blanket is basically a hug you can sleep under. It’s a blanket filled with tiny glass beads, usually somewhere between 3 and 10 kg, that presses gently and evenly on your body. Plenty of people find that pressure calming at bedtime. It isn’t a medical treatment, though, and it isn’t for everyone.
The tricky bit in India is heat. Most weighted blankets are designed for cold countries, and a heavy polyester one on a humid summer night is a sweat bath. So for this guide we looked for blankets sold by Indian brands, in breathable fabrics, in weights that suit most people.

How we picked
We haven’t slept under all of these yet. This first version is a shortlist built from each brand’s own product pages: fabric, filling, weight options, sizes, washing instructions and return policies. We’ll add hands-on notes as we test them. Every blanket here was in stock when we last checked in November 2026. Prices change often, so check the brand’s page before you buy.
1. Mysa Cotton Weighted Blanket: best overall
Mysa is one of the few brands selling a weighted blanket that’s built to stay cool. The cover is 100% cotton (Oeko-Tex certified in most colours), and the glass beads sit in small stitched pockets with a layer of padding, so they don’t all slide to one side in the night. It also has the widest range of weights and sizes on this list, from a single all the way up to a 90 × 90 inch king.
- Price: from ₹4,999 (single); queen from ₹5,999; king from ₹7,999
- Weights: 12, 15, 20, 25 or 30 lb (about 5.4 to 13.6 kg), depending on size
- Sizes: single (48 × 72 in), queen (58 × 80 in) and two king sizes
- Cover: 100% cotton
- Filling: glass beads with polyester padding
- Care: hand wash, dry flat
- Warranty and returns: 1-month warranty; returns within 7 days (you pay return shipping)
Good for: hot sleepers, and anyone who wants to choose an exact weight and size.
Skip it if: you want something you can throw in the washing machine.
Cheaper option: Mysa’s Microfibre Weighted Blanket starts at ₹3,599, but brushed microfibre holds more heat. Mysa itself says it can feel warmer than cotton, so it’s better for winter or an air-conditioned room.
2. Tucked In Cotton Weighted Blanket: best for couples and double beds
Tucked In is an Indian brand that makes little else but weighted blankets, and its double size is the best value for sharing here: 90 × 90 inches at 12 or 14 kg, for under ₹10,000. The single comes in 5 or 7 kg. The cover is organic cotton, the beads sit between six protective layers, and there are ten colours to choose from.
- Price: ₹4,499 (single, 5 kg), ₹4,999 (single, 7 kg), ₹8,999 (double, 12 kg), ₹9,499 (double, 14 kg)
- Sizes: single (50 × 75 in), double (90 × 90 in)
- Cover: organic cotton
- Filling: lead-free glass beads
- Care: hand wash or dry clean; not machine washable
- Returns: return or exchange within 10 days (you pay return shipping); free shipping across India
Good for: couples, double beds, and anyone who wants the longest return window on this list.
Skip it if: you want to machine wash it. Tucked In also sells a separate washable cover, and makes sherpa, bamboo and velvet versions if you want a different feel.
3. SleepyCat Weighted Blanket (4 kg): best lighter starter blanket
If you’re not sure you’ll like the weight, start lighter. SleepyCat’s blanket is 4 kg, which suits smaller adults or anyone who wants a gentler first try. It’s also the best-reviewed blanket here, at 4.9 out of 5 from 40 reviews on SleepyCat’s site. The beads are spread across 3-inch pockets so the weight stays even.
- Price: ₹4,899 (listed at ₹5,489)
- Weight: 4 kg
- Size: single (50 × 75 in)
- Cover: described as 100% cotton sateen, though the spec table says “micro peached fabric”, so it’s worth checking with the brand
- Filling: high-density glass beads
- Care: hand wash, dry flat; not machine washable
- Returns: not returnable, but you can exchange it
Good for: first-timers and smaller adults.
Skip it if: you weigh more than about 50 kg and want the full effect, or you want the option to return it.
4. Abley’s Weighted Blanket: best for kids (and easiest to wash)
Almost every weighted blanket is hand-wash only, which is a real problem once kids are involved. Abley’s is the exception: the whole blanket goes in the machine on a gentle, cold cycle. It comes in a 3.2 kg size for children and a 10 kg size for adults.
- Price: ₹4,262 (3.2 kg) or ₹6,999 (10 kg)
- Weights: 3.2 kg (kids), 10 kg (adults)
- Cover: breathable microfibre
- Filling: glass beads sewn into small reinforced pockets
- Care: machine wash, gentle and cold, no bleach or softener
- Returns: 7-day exchange; free shipping across India
Good for: kids, and anyone who wants to be able to wash their blanket properly.
Skip it if: you want a lot of reviews to go on. It only has a handful so far. Abley’s says not to use any size for children under 3.

How to choose a weighted blanket
Weight. The usual rule of thumb is about 10% of your body weight, rounded to the nearest size. Tucked In, for example, suggests 7 kg for someone who weighs 65 kg. If you’re between sizes or new to weighted blankets, the lighter one is the safer start.
Fabric (this matters most in India). Cotton, Tencel and bamboo breathe. Microfibre, minky, velvet and sherpa trap heat. They’re cosy in a Delhi winter and miserable in a Mumbai May.
Size. A weighted blanket should cover you, not the whole bed. If it hangs over the edges, the weight pulls it off in the night. Get a single for one person, even on a double bed, and a double only if you’re sharing.
Washing. Most are hand-wash only and heavy when wet. A removable duvet cover saves you a lot of effort.
Returns. Check before you buy. Shipping 5–10 kg back is expensive, and some brands don’t accept returns at all.
FAQs
Are weighted blankets too hot for Indian summers?
They can be. Pick a cotton or Tencel cover, use it with a fan or AC, or save it for the cooler months.
Can kids use a weighted blanket?
Only a kid-sized, lighter one, and never for very young children. Abley’s says not to use theirs for children under 3. A child should always be able to push the blanket off by themselves. If you’re unsure, ask your paediatrician.
Who shouldn’t use one?
Anyone who can’t easily move the blanket off themselves, or who has breathing, circulation or other health concerns, should check with a doctor first.
