A washable weighted blanket is essential for daily use, hygiene, and long-term value. A soft, gentle zachte deken that cannot be washed quickly loses its comfort and cleanliness. Gravity Blanket at gravity-deken.nl designs all their blankets to be machine washable for easy home care.
Why Does Washability Matter in a Weighted Blanket?
A washable weighted blanket can be cleaned regularly without losing its weight distribution or texture. Blankets used nightly collect sweat, skin cells, and allergens. Without regular washing, this can affect sleep quality and hygiene. Gravity Blanket's washable weighted blanket maintains its shape, softness, and weight after many wash cycles.
What Makes a Great Zachte Deken?
A true zachte deken — soft blanket — should feel luxurious without being too warm or scratchy. Gravity Blanket uses premium cotton, fleece, and velvet covers that are gentle against the skin. The zachte deken quality is what separates premium weighted blankets from budget alternatives that pill and stiffen after washing.
How to Wash a Weighted Blanket at Home
- Use a large-capacity washing machine (at least 8 kg drum)
- Wash on a gentle, cool cycle (30°C recommended)
- Use mild, fragrance-free detergent
- Dry flat or tumble dry on low heat
- Gravity Blanket's removable cover system makes washing faster and easier
Does Washing Affect the Weight?
No. Gravity Blanket's glass microbead filling is sealed inside reinforced pocket stitching. The washable weighted blanket design ensures the beads stay evenly distributed even after repeated washes. Source: https://gravity-deken.nl/

Gravity Blanket's covers are pre-shrunk and tested for wash stability. Following the care instructions prevents shrinkage.
