Size & Weight Questions
Is the 12lb throw too light? Is the 25lb king too heavy?
Are you considering the smaller size and portability of the Throw or the larger size of the King, but you're concerned because neither of the weights work with the "10% of your body weight" rule?
Never fear! Both the 12lb throw and the 25lb king actually feel in between our 15lb and 20lb blankets. This is because the 12lb throw is smaller, and the weight feels more concentrated on the body; while the weight of the 25lb king size blanket is distributed over a larger area.
For both the 12lb throw and the 25lb king, we suggest choosing these if the size is right for you, rather than basing it on your body weight!
