The Hush Knit Weighted Blanket arrived inside a carton box that was easy to carry and handle. Once we opened the box, we found the blanket rolled inside a huge, soft pouch. The pouch has a handle that allows you to easily pull the blanket out of the box.

However, this blanket surprisingly didn’t suffer from any off-gassing when we removed it from the pouch. The Hush Knit weighted blanket smelled very fresh, which showed that Hush is using extremely high-quality materials in the making of this blanket.

Hush Knit Weighted Blanket’s Materials, Construction, and Design

Materials and Construction

Some weighted blankets opt for low-quality and cheap materials to add to the weight of the blanket. However, the Hush Knit Weighted Blanket is built from high-quality fabrics and filling, making sure that the weighted aspect isn’t done through cheap approaches.

Additionally, Hush also took extra care with craftsmanship by going for a hand-made manufacturing process. The talented craftspeople at Hush take over 5 hours to hand-knit every blanket, ensuring that mass-production issues would never occur with Hush’s Knit Weighted Blanket. This definitely shows in the build quality of the Knit Weighted Blanket.

The blanket comes in two versions made of super soft minky velour or cotton. Both materials ensure that people with allergies will stay safe, as Hush exclusively uses hypoallergenic materials.

The Hush Knit Weighted Blanket is 15 lbs. and contains non-toxic glass sand that evenly distributes weight, making it a comfortable and relaxing choice for people who need a little extra pressure.

Overall, we believe that Hush has paid extra attention to detail for their Knit Weighted Blanket, and it’s quite clear in the quality, touch, and feel of the blanket.

Design

The Hush Knit Weighted Blanket has a very simple and elegant design. The blanket’s design consists of hand-woven knitted loops, which look aesthetically pleasing as well as provide a function. The knit design allows air to easily flow in and around each loop to help you sleep cool.

While a lot of weighted blankets suffer from mediocre breathability due to their fully closed design, the Hush Knit Weighted Blanket’s design allows for a breathable sleeping experience.

Overall, we found the blanket’s design extremely stylish and well-thought-out. We gave the Hush Knit Weighted Blanket a solid 5/5 when it comes to design.

Finishes and Colors

The blanket is available in two materials: minky velour and cotton. Each version has its own unique set of available colors. The minky velour comes in gray, cream, navy blue, light blue, dusty rose, and black. While the cotton version comes in grey, cream, dusty blue, and burnt orange.

We decided to test out the minky velour version in black, as it looked very stylish and could be easily matched with any other color.

Hush Knit Weighted Blanket’s Feel and Comfort

In our experience, the weighted feel of the Hush Knit Weighted Blanket makes for a very unique sleeping experience. The smooth touch of the fabric mixed with the weight makes the blanket feel as if you’re being cuddled all night.

Initially, we expected to feel too warm underneath the blanket, but that wasn’t the case. In fact, this weighted blanket gave us the perfect balance of feeling cozy and comfortably snuggled without feeling too hot.

That being said, Hush has made sure that the Hush Knit Weighted Blanket feels cozy and comfortable, and for that, we give it a 5/5 in terms of its feel and comfort level.

Cooling and Breathability Performance

We did a 20-minute nap cooling performance test, where we tested out how breathable and cooling the blanket is. We found the blanket surprisingly breathable, even though it’s heavy and weighted.

Throughout the 20 minutes, we felt very relaxed. The blanket applied the right amount of pressure to make you feel like you were being hugged without getting too hot.

Although this blanket isn’t as breathable as some non-weighted blankets, it ranks on the higher end of weighted blankets when it comes to cooling performance. With that in consideration, the Hush Knit Weighted Blanket scored a solid 5/5 in our cooling performance test.

Weight

The Hush Knit Weighted Blanket weighs 15 pounds, which is the ideal weight for deep pressure stimulation (DPS). DPS is a type of therapy that uses gentle pressure to relax the nervous system and promote restful sleep. We found that this weight should be perfect for most people.
