Q: I know you can wash the cover, but can you and how should you wash the inner weighted blanket.
A: Hi Alyssa - Great question! The cover is washable. But for the insert, we recommend to spot clean only. Hope this helps. - Terra

But if for some reason you really needed to get one cleaned, you could probably take it to a local laundromat and use one of their big heavy-duty front-loader washing machines...or before you buy, ask your local dry-cleaner(s) If they’d be willing/able to do it for you.

Q: We live in Hawaii and it can get quite warm. If I remove the cover in warmer weather will it be a little cooler while still providing good weight for sound sleep? I’m not sure whether the blanket is designed to be used without the cover. Mahalo!
A: Hi Kaniala - What a great blanket, perfect for cuddling on the couch! Our guests are saying this is a very warm blanket. I hope this helps! - Katrina

Q: Is this sewn to keep the beads evenly distributed so that they don't shift all over the blanket? There are no pictures of the blanket itself to see the quilting, and the description does not address this.
A: Hi TargetLover - This is a great blanket! The duvet is quilted to keep the beads evenly distributed. Thanks for asking. - Heather

Q: Hello! Are the beads encased in smaller pockets so they remain evenly distributed, or is it all just one large piece? Thank you in advance!
A: Yes. The inner blanket is quilted.

Q: Is the weighted blanket itself WHITE? Because I see the cover choices, but I also see the blanket itself looks like it's a white or cream color. That would be hard to keep spot-cleaning even with a cover.
A: Hi Jese2222 - Great question! Yes, the blanket itself is white. Guests are saying the cover is great and easy to take of to wash. Hope this helps. - Terra
