Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before trying Overwhelmed at home.
01
Weighted blanket
Who is the weighted blanket for? +
Our calming weighted blanket is made for adults who struggle to switch off, feel restless in the evenings, or want a steadier, more comforting way to unwind at home.
What size and weight is it? +
The blanket weighs 6.8kg and measures 150cm × 200cm, giving full-body weighted comfort for most adults.
What is it made from? +
It has a soft 100% cotton outer and is filled with quiet glass beads to create steady, even pressure.
What does OEKO-TEX® certified mean? +
OEKO-TEX® certification means the materials have been tested against strict standards, giving you extra reassurance about what you’re bringing into your home.
What are glass beads? +
Glass beads are tiny, smooth beads used inside weighted blankets to create the weight. They help the blanket feel quieter, smoother, and less bulky than cheaper fillings.
Will it make me too hot? +
The cotton outer is designed to feel breathable and comfortable. Like any weighted blanket, warmth depends on your room temperature, bedding, and personal preference.
Does it attach to a duvet cover? +
Yes. The blanket has 8 loops so it can be attached to a compatible duvet cover if you prefer to use one.
How do I wash it? +
Wash separately on a gentle cycle and air dry where possible to help the blanket keep its shape. Always check the care label before washing.
Is it suitable for children? +
Our 6.8kg weighted blanket is designed for adults. It should not be used by children unless advised by a suitable healthcare professional.
02
Weighted eye mask
What is the weighted eye mask for? +
It’s made for small moments of calm — tired eyes, dark rooms, travel, naps, or times when you want to shut the world out for a while.
Can I use it with the blanket? +
Yes. The eye mask works well alongside the blanket as part of a wind-down routine, especially when you want both darkness and gentle pressure.
Is it only for sleep? +
No. You can use it while resting, travelling, taking a break, or creating a quiet reset during the day.
What is the eye mask made from? +
The eye mask is reversible, with minky on one side and bamboo on the other, so you can choose the feel that suits you best.
Is the eye mask adjustable? +
Yes. The eye mask has an adjustable fit, so you can make it feel secure and comfortable without feeling too tight.
Can I wash the eye mask? +
Yes. The inner weighted insert is removable, so the outer eye mask can be washed more easily. Always check the care instructions before washing.
Can I travel with it? +
Yes. The eye mask is easy to use for travel, hotel stays, naps, or moments when you want to block out light and create a calmer space.
03
Delivery & returns
Is delivery free? +

How long does delivery take? +

Do you offer free returns? +

Does the blanket come with a trial? +
