The Materials and Craftsmanship Behind Nana’s Weighted Blankets
At Nana’s Weighted Blankets, we take pride in crafting high-quality, durable, and safe weighted blankets to help you sleep better naturally. Each blanket is carefully made using premium materials designed for comfort, breathability, and longevity. Here’s a closer look at the materials and methods used in our weighted blanket production.
Materials Used in Our Weighted Blankets
Printed Weighted Blankets
Our printed weighted blankets feature a soft and breathable outer layer made from 100% cotton fabric (approximately 120gsm), ensuring a comfortable and lightweight feel. Beneath this, we use an inner lining of either 100% cotton or a cotton-polyester blend (ranging from 120-150gsm) to add structure and durability.
For weight, we use plastic poly pellets made from food-grade polyethylene. These pellets are approximately 2-3mm in size, providing an even distribution of weight across the blanket. Another layer of cotton or cotton-poly blend lining is added for reinforcement, ensuring the pellets stay securely in place. The base layer consists of high-quality 100% cotton drill fabric (200-300gsm), offering added strength and durability.
Heavy-Duty Weighted Blankets
Designed for those who need extra durability and support, our heavy-duty weighted blankets feature an outer layer made from 100% cotton drill fabric (200-300gsm). This robust material provides added longevity, making it ideal for high-use environments like therapy centers, hospitals, and schools.
Similar to our printed blankets, the heavy-duty version includes an inner lining made from 100% cotton or a cotton-polyester blend (120-150gsm) for structure and comfort. The core of the blanket is filled with food-grade polyethylene plastic poly pellets, ensuring a safe and evenly distributed weight. Another inner lining layer (120-150gsm) reinforces the structure, followed by a second outer layer of durable 100% cotton drill fabric (200-300gsm) to complete the design.
How Our Weighted Blankets Are Made

Material Selection: Each blanket begins with carefully selected high-quality fabrics and food-grade poly pellets.
