Weighted blankets are powerful tools for better sleep, less stress, and nervous system regulation. But no two people experience calm in exactly the same way. That’s why acustom weighted blanket, designed around your body, your preferences, and your goals, can make all the difference.
At Mosaic Weighted Blankets, we don’t just offer mass-market options with preset sizes. We create personalized solutions that match your fabric feel, weight, size, and even design style. With more than a decade of experience and over 58,000 blankets sold, we’ve helped thousands of people build the exact blanket they need to feel better, sleep deeper, and unwind faster.
Mostweighted blankets you see online come in a few preset sizes and colors. While they offer convenience, they often miss the mark on comfort, care needs, and weight distribution.
Custom handmade blankets are designed to fit your needs from the start. At Mosaic, that means:
You choose the fabric (cotton, Minky, Coolmax®, or even custom prints)
You select your blanket size and exact weight
We can make recommendations based on age, height, body type, and sensory needs
You can personalize your blanket further with embroidery or specialty fabrics
Want proof? Our owner, Laura LeMond, has personally helped thousands of customers select the right weight. She’s so experienced she can often estimate ideal blanket weight just by talking with someone—or by sight. That kind of one-on-one attention simply doesn’t exist in the mass-market world.
The general guideline is to choose a blanket that weighs around10 percent of your body weight. For example, a 150-pound adult might start with a 15 pound blanket.
But that’s just a starting point. Some people prefer more or less pressure based on how their body responds to deep touch.
Weighted blankets work best when the pressure stays evenly distributed over your body. A twin-size blanket may be perfect for personal sleep use,even on a queen bed. That’s why we offer everything from kid sized throws to king-sized blankets, and we help you choose the dimensions that match your goals.
Weighted blankets work through a therapeutic principle called deep pressure stimulation (DPS). This is the same calming effect you get from a firm hug, a swaddle, or a gentle squeeze. The steady pressure helps shift the body out of a stress state (fight-or-flight) and into a calm state (rest-and-digest) by activating theparasympathetic nervous system.
This type of sensory input also promotes the release of serotonin and dopamine, two brain chemicals that help regulate mood, anxiety, and sleep cycles.
According to theCleveland Clinic, DPS can lower heart rate and cortisol levels.Brown University Health recommends weighted blankets for individuals with sensory issues, stress, or trouble falling asleep. TheSleep Foundation also highlights that deep pressure stimulation can improve overall sleep quality.
This is why the right blanket weight and material matter. You’re not just getting comfort, you’re getting a physical tool to help your body relax, recover, and rest.

Our most popular option.Cotton is cool, breathable, and familiar. It’s ideal for people who run hot, want a low-maintenance option, or simply prefer a more traditional bedding texture.
This is our softest, most luxurious option.Minky is often the top choice for customers with sensory processing challenges or anyone looking for a soothing, velvety feel. It’s especially popular in therapeutic settings and among children and teens.
Coolmax® fabric is moisture-wicking and breathable, making it perfect for people whooverheat easily at night. It comes in gray and white but is fully customizable in size and weight. Even with limited color options, it offers the most advanced temperature control of any fabric we carry.
Looking for something specific? We can source custom fabric prints for your order, including superhero, anime, pop culture, floral, or character themed designs. We’ve made everything from sleek black and red poker themed blankets to playful prints for birthdays and Mother’s Day.
Our team doesn't just sew,we collaborate. Your blanket is laid out on our design table with real thought, care, and intention. We consider your weight, height, sleep habits, color preferences, and how the blanket will be used.
You can also add custom embroidery—a name, a message, or a meaningful word. These small touches make our blankets perfect for gifting and life events.
We’ve even created custom orders for professional athletes, major brands, and VIP customers (like a high-stakes Vegas poker player who commissioned a full set). We don't advertise those by name, but our craftsmanship speaks for itself.
We useBPA-free plastic poly pellets for their durability, washability, and consistent weight distribution. They feel slightly textured—like a classic beanbag—and don’t clump or degrade over time the way fine glass beads often do.
Unlike glass, which can feel like sand and may settle unevenly, our pellets stay stable through wash cycles and heavy use. That makes them safer, longer lasting, and easier to care for.
Whether you’re shopping for a child with sensory needs, a parent in need of stress relief, or yourself, Mosaic can craft the perfect fit. We’ve created:
Weighted blankets for toddlers, teens, and seniors
Anniversary and holiday gifts
Corporate orders and team gifts
You tell us what you need. We make it by hand.
Acustom weighted blanket isn’t just about sleep. It’s about investing in a tool that brings calm, control, and comfort when you need it most. With over 10 years of experience, a passion for individualized care, and materials you can trust, Mosaic is proud to offer custom solutions that truly fit.
