Q: Will this fit a twin or queen size bed?
A: A weighted blanket should not drape over the sides of the bed. So this may not be queen sized, but could be used for a single person on a queen bed.

Q: what is it filled with to weight it? Glass beads?
A: 93% glass beadsand the other is polyester fiber. It’s a little noisy.

Q: Is this safe to use? Will it get me sick? Being made of glass and all?
A: Hi there, the glass beads are sewn inside of the blanket so you will not have any direct contact with the glass beads.
