About Hush Blankets
One thing that has never changed for me as a child is my need for a soft, warm and cozy blanket. Say what you will, but they are perfect for days when I’m stressed, sad, sick or just plain cold. What I didn’t realize, however, was the full range of health benefits a weighted blanket can provide.
That’s where Hush Blankets comes in. The Canadian brand makes weighted blankets that are incredibly soft, comfortable and therapeutic.
The combination of sweat-wicking and cooling technology and innovative materials like non-toxic sand glass and microfiber is a game changer. The result is a scientifically proven, therapeutic, super soft and cozy blanket – perfect for year-round use.
There are many brands that offer weighted blankets, but a key difference between Hush Blankets and its competitors is that the inside of the blanket is not filled with additional fabrics. Instead, non-toxic sand glass is used in tightly packed pockets to distribute the weight evenly and consistently.
In this Hush Blankets review, I’ll give you an insight into the brand and its product so you can make an informed buying decision.
The blankets are designed to reduce cortisol (stress hormones) with DTPS (Deep Touch Pressure Stimulation) and release serotonin (happiness hormones) and melatonin (sleep hormones). The result is deeper, faster and longer sleep, which is perfect for children and adults suffering from a range of conditions listed below:
- Stress
- anxiety
- sleep disturbance
- insomnia
- ADHD
- COMPULSIVE DISORDER
- Sensory Processing Disorder
Hush Blankets has also launched its own “Hush GiveBack” program. For every five blankets sold, the brand donates a blanket to a child or adult in need. The company has also expanded its partnerships with the YMCA Greater Toronto, the Scott Mission and the Red Door Family Shelter to help people in need. It’s a wonderful project that makes a real difference in local communities.

Where Are Hush Blankets Made?
Hush Blankets does not make it clear where their products are made. Instead, the brand emphasizes their collaboration with sleep experts in Canada and the technological aspects behind their blankets; which I have mentioned in this Hush Blankets review and will continue to mention.
3 Bestselling Hush Blankets
Hush Classic
The classic weighted blanket with comforter cover from the original collection is what Hush Blankets is all about. The Hush Classic is the brand’s flagship product and offers everything you could want. Whether you suffer from stress, insomnia or sleeplessness, the hush blanket could be the solution. The superior comfort, softness and flexibility do everything they should – I don’t want to leave my bed.
I am in love with everything about the Hush Classic. The outer cover is made to melt into the skin and is unbeatably soft and comfortable. The inner layer is made of cotton and polyester blend microfiber filled with non-toxic sand glass in deep pockets to ensure even weight distribution across the entire blanket.
Similarly, Hush Blankets also offers a 2-in-1 package for summer and winter. This includes the inner weighted blanket, the Hush Classic with a comforter cover and the iced cooling blanket. The Hush Classic is suitable all year round, and the 2-in-1 set makes it flexible for hot and cold days, so it works even better.
Hush Iced
The Hush Iced is the original cooling weighted blanket from Hush Blankets. Recently added to the brand’s product line, this particular blanket is a game changer.
The great thing about this particular blanket is that it actually wicks away sweat. You would think that weighted blankets would naturally absorb sweat due to the weight and heat given off, but not with the Hush Iced.
It has a cooling cover made from a blend of cotton and bamboo for an extra soft, temperature regulating and stretchy feel. The non-toxic sand glass ensures that the weight is evenly distributed across the entire blanket. This means you get the deep pressure stimulation that the weight provides while staying cool.
Another similar product that Hush Blankets offers is the Hush Iced Set, which includes a cooling sheet and pillowcases. The materials are made from bamboo, cotton and spandex, making the blanket suitable for any bed and perfect for regulating temperature on hot days.
Hush Kids
The Hush Kids is the classic weighted blanket for children. The blanket was developed for children who suffer from sleep disorders and offers the child the same feeling of security. Not to mention the fact that the blanket has different covers on both sides, which also invite your child to play. Your child’s fortress is now much cozier.
The Hush Kids is made of soft cotton and breathable microfiber, which gives the blanket more flexibility for your child. It offers the same benefits as the adult blankets, including weighted materials and technology to provide the same therapeutic results for children’s health and well-being.
Another Hush Blankets product line aimed at children is the Iced Kids, the children’s version of the Hush Iced. The cooling bamboo and cotton cover works wonders for temperature regulation, so you’ll have a blanket for them all year round.

Pricing
Price, value and individual budget are important factors to consider before making a purchase decision. Brands that offer weighted blankets are expensive, and Hush Blankets is no exception. However, while Hush Blankets are expensive, I find that the investment is well worth the value, if not more.
As I mentioned in the Hush review, the technology and materials used in the products are scientifically proven to provide great health benefits. The weighted blankets also work wonders in all seasons, making them a comfortable and practical choice.
Below I have listed the brand’s products, kits and packages, as well as the price you can expect to pay. All values are in Canadian dollars, along with current savings:

Weight & Sizes
Hush Blankets offers a modest but comprehensive range of blankets suitable for children and adults alike.
The range of weights and sizes offers a range of suitable options for teen to king size beds . Although I found the layout of the information a little confusing at first, I have broken it down into the following sections in this Hush Blankets review: Availability, Weight Overview, Size Overview, and Recommendations.
It’s important to remember that depending on your individual weight, the number of people using the blanket at the same time and the size of your bed, you should be well informed before making a purchasing decision.

Hush Blankets offers three different types of blankets and an additional package. Below you will find the sizes and weights available for each product line.

Weight Guide
As I said before, I also appreciate the brand for scientifically ensuring that their products are suitable for different body weights.
The purpose and priority of the blankets is to distribute enough weight to the user for a better quality of sleep. Below are Hush Blankets’ recommendations for people of different weights:
Adults
Individual weight recommendation
100-170lb 15lb
170-240lb 20lb
240+lb 25lb
Children
Individual weight recommendation
30-60lb 5lb
60-100lb 10lb
Size Guide
I think Hush Blankets has done a wonderful job of covering all relevant sizes to fit any bed.
I say this because the brand fixates on the idea that blankets were designed to be wrapped and customized for individual use. Although the children’s blanket comes in a standard size, the blankets have been designed with the user’s weight in mind rather than their age or height.
Below you will find the exact measurements for the available blanket sizes, calculated by inch:
- Classic Kids – 36 x 48
- Teens – 42 x 72
- Twins – 48 x 78
- Queen – 60 x 80
- King – 80 x 87
Recommendations
- Choosingthe right weight and size is crucial to maximize the effectiveness of the blanket
- The ideal weight of the blanket should be 10% of the individual’s body weight (round up).
- Each person should have their own blanket – body weight varies from person to person
- The heaviest blanket in the size of a queen or 2x twin blankets are ideal for two people
Where To Buy Hush Blankets
Retail stores
Hush Blankets unfortunately does not have any retail stores. However, for Canadians, they do have a physical location that acts as their headquarters. Oddly enough, they don’t have a phone number, but you can find the address of their location below:

Online
Yes, the Canadian company has all of their products listed on their website, with a wide range of savings, sizes and colors.
The main difference is that the US website allows for global checkout when purchasing their products.
Amazon
Good news and bad news. The good news is that Hush Blanket is available on Amazon. The bad news, however, is that the search comes up with many other brands and the prices for the Hush Blanket are similar to the prices listed on the website.
When you use Amazon, you can rest assured that your order will be delivered safely and if there are any issues, they will always take care of it. I recommend buying Hush Blankets on Amazon.

Another plus point of the Hush Blankets is that they are so easy to wash. I have described them below in three simple steps:
