For deep, peaceful nights
Sink beneath our signature weighted blanket. The glass beads distribute evenly across your body, as if you’re being gently embraced. Thanks to the double-stitched pockets, they stay exactly in place, no matter how restless your night begins.
Fall asleep faster, feel more deeply rested
The gentle pressure has a natural effect. It is Deep Pressure Stimulation (in other words: deep pressure stimulation), a proven technique that calms your nervous system. You fall asleep faster and stay in the deep sleep your body really needs for longer.
Tough where it needs to be, gentle on your skin
Firm enough to help you relax, soft enough to never feel constricting. The high-quality cotton exterior feels wonderfully soft, night after night.

FAQs
After a hard day’s work, all you want is to relax, unwind, and drift off to sleep carefree. However, many people lie awake at night. This is often caused by too much stress or restlessness in the body.
We have come up with a solution that does not involve using sleeping medication. Discover the calming feeling of Ella’s weighted blankets.
What is a weighted blanket?
A weighted blanket is a specially designed blanket that is heavier than a standard blanket. It usually contains small weights; in the case of Ella blankets, these are small hypoallergenic glass beads that are evenly distributed throughout the blanket. The purpose of a weighted blanket is to provide deep pressure stimulation, which has a calming and relaxing effect on the body.
A weighted blanket is similar to a regular blanket, but weighs considerably more. You experience deep physical pressure (Deep Pressure Stimulation), which helps you sleep better. You can compare it to someone giving you a firm hug.
Our weighted blanket consists of 7 layers. It is filled with glass beads in the middle. The weight of the beads creates the pressure. They are somewhat similar to sand. The beads are sewn into separate small compartments, which are evenly distributed throughout the weighted blanket.
How does a weighted blanket work?
A weighted blanket applies gentle, even pressure to the body, similar to a firm hug. This stimulates the nervous system and may help promote the release of serotonin and melatonin, neurotransmitters that play a role in regulating mood and sleep. It may also reduce the release of cortisol, the stress hormone.
Which weight should I choose?
When choosing a weighted blanket, it is important to consider the blanket’s weight. A general guideline is to choose a blanket that weighs approximately 10% of the user’s body weight. It is also important to choose the right size so that the blanket can comfortably cover the entire body. In addition, it is advisable to pay attention to the blanket’s material and quality for optimal comfort and durability.
The rule of thumb for choosing the right weight for your weighted blanket is to take 8% to 12% of your own body weight. The formula is different if you have a larger surface area, such as the 200x200 cm variants, so we have created a table below to make it easy to see which blanket is right for you:
Body weight Blanket
150×200 cm / 135x200cm
60 to 80 kg 7KG
80 to 100 kg 9KG
100 to 120 kg 11KG
200×200 cm
60 to 80 kg 11KG
80 to 110 kg 13KG
Still unsure?
Are you between two weights and not sure which one to choose? For women, we recommend choosing the lighter option, and for men, the heavier option. Still unsure? No problem—feel free to send us an email.
Why a weighted blanket?
Weighted blankets can offer several benefits, including promoting relaxation, reducing anxiety and stress, improving sleep quality, relieving restless legs syndrome (RLS), and providing comfort. They may also help with sensory processing issues, such as those associated with autism.

Why do you sleep better with a weighted blanket?
Research shows that people experience a sense of safety when they are swaddled. The feeling of a heavier, enveloping blanket causes the body to produce serotonin and endorphins, hormones the body produces to calm and relax itself. This is why a weighted blanket helps the brain relax and allows you to experience complete peace of mind.
In the past, weighted blankets were primarily used as a therapeutic aid. Fortunately, more and more people are discovering that using a heavy blanket is pleasant and can contribute to a good night’s sleep. Currently, Ella’s weighted blankets are helping thousands of people enjoy a better night’s sleep.
Can a weighted blanket help with sleep problems, stress, or anxiety?
Yes, weighted blankets can help with sleep problems, anxiety, and stress. The deep pressure stimulation provided by weighted blankets can promote a sense of calm and relaxation, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. They may also reduce anxiety and stress by influencing the release of neurotransmitters and providing a sense of security.
Who is a weighted blanket suitable for?
Weighted blankets can be helpful for people who have trouble sleeping, experience anxiety, stress, or sensory sensitivity, or need a sense of security and comfort. They may be suitable for adults, teenagers, and children, but it is important to choose the right size and weight based on individual needs.
What is inside the blanket?
Outer layer: 100% organically certified cotton
Inner layer: eco-friendly polyester to make the blanket even more comfortable
Filling: Hypoallergenic, non-toxic micro glass beads for weight
Weighted blanket
We purchased a weighted blanket for our son, who is nearly 7. It took him a little while to get used to it, but after a few weeks we noticed that he fell asleep more quickly and also felt safer in bed. His nights became longer, and he said himself that he sleeps much better and falls asleep faster.
Good service
Accidentally ordered the wrong size of the mattress topper, but customer service helped me promptly and courteously. An appointment with the delivery driver was scheduled in no time to return the topper. Easy and hassle-free. I ordered the correct size again because I thought the quality was quite good. I even received a free sleep mask — excellent service!
Slept really well!
What a wonderfully comfortable mattress topper! I never would have thought that sleeping on a topper could be so comfortable! I mainly relied on the reviews on Bol.com when choosing Ella! Well, here’s another excellent review from me! Waking up refreshed in the morning is blissful!!! Thank you, Ella! Jeannine Ogiers, 76 years old
A solid 5!
A solid 5! Fast delivery, and I got a lot of use out of my pregnancy pillow. Unfortunately, it broke a little. But the customer service team helped me incredibly well and immediately sent a replacement without any hassle. Very grateful. Great value for money 🙏
Nice weighted blanket
Nicely evenly weighted, yet still thin, and it drapes around your body just as smoothly as a regular duvet. The cotton cover is incredibly soft—it feels like satin. I got rid of my old weighted blanket right away.
