What are weighted blankets made of?

When searching for the right weighted blanket, there are a lot of factors to consider. One item you don’t want to skip is how and where the blanket is made, especially if you have any kind of allergies or health conditions. We strive to be as transparent as possible, and to provide you with as much information as possible about where our blankets come from and how they are manufactured. 

At Mosaic Weighted Blankets, our custom blankets are hand-made, sewn into quilted squares in a variety of fabrics to suit every customer’s needs and preferences. These quilted squares are filled with plastic, BPA-free, hypoallergenic pellets that are evenly distributed throughout the pockets on the blanket, ensuring even weight distribution. Combine that with the bit of polyfill we use in each pocket, and you get a weighted blanket that is comfortable, and consistent for adults and kids, no matter how you like to curl up.
