All the weighted blankets that I have seen can only be cleaned by putting the entire blanket in the washing machine. Do you have a more practical solution?

It is called a blanket, so is it meant to keep me warm?
The primary purpose of the weighted blanket is to provide weight that activates the parasympathetic nervous system (the body's built in calming system) resulting in deeper, more restful sleep. Due to the materials used, it is not designed for warmth but rather, for maximum breathability. For those cold winter nights, you can throw your weighted blanket over a warmer winter blanket.
Why are the sizes smaller than a traditional blanket?
The weighted blanket is designed to cover the individual rather than the entire bed. The smaller size ensures that the weight is concentrated on the user, providing the optimal pressure needed for better results and deeper sleep.
