Recycled pellets have an odor that will never go away. We do not use sand or organic materials like rice or grains. Organic materials are not washable and will harbor bacteria and be an allergen.
- The weight will be balanced throughout the weighted blanket in 120+ squared off pockets so that when the weight moves, it will not shift to other parts of the blanket. The pocket sizes are smaller than many blankets which allows it to better conform to your body. There is no extra lining/padding in this weighted blanket making it ideal for summer and winter use.
