Weighted blankets have moved from a niche therapy product to a mainstream bedroom item, and Better Sleep is one of the Canadian names that has built a whole store around them. Based in Sherbrooke, Quebec, and describing itself as a Quebec family business, the brand markets itself as "Canada's Premium Weighted Blanket." It also sells cooling bamboo bedding, sleep masks, and weighted plush toys.
This piece walks through what the store sells, what it costs (all prices in CAD, as shown on the site), and what to think about before buying.
Premium Weighted Blanket. The core product, listed at $179 (was $239).
Hand Knitted Weighted Blanket. An organic cotton knit at $299 (was $350). One review notes it feels lighter than a standard blanket of the same listed weight, which is worth keeping in mind when picking a size.
Sherpa Fleece at $199 (was $279.99) and Sherpa Faux Fur at $209 (was $249). These are the cozy, cold-season options.
Junior Weighted Blanket at $159 (was $199) for children.
Sets (inner blanket plus cover):
Weights run from about 5 lb for kids up to 30 lb for adults. The store's guidance is to choose a blanket around 7–12% of your body weight.
The brand says its blankets use recycled glass micro-beads held in individual pockets in a seven-layer design, so the weight stays spread evenly. Fabrics include organic cotton, bamboo, and natural cotton, and products are listed as Oeko-Tex certified. For care, machine wash cold on gentle with mild detergent, do not tumble dry, and dry flat.
Queen and King sizes are made for sharing, but the store suggests separate blankets if partners are of very different weights.
At the time of writing, the store was running a "Fall Into Better Sleep" sale with up to 40% off storewide, plus a VIP10 coupon for email sign-ups. Some clearance items, such as the Classic blanket, are marked final sale. The sale seems to be an ongoing pattern, so check current prices instead of assuming the discount is short-lived.
A big range for every sleeper. Kids, adults, hot sleepers, and cold sleepers are all covered, from cooling bamboo to sherpa.
The 60-night trial. For a product where feel is personal, two months is a generous window.
Canadian base. Quebec design, local warehouses, and bilingual blog content will appeal to shoppers who want to buy from a Canadian company.
Clear weight guidance. The 7–12% rule of thumb makes picking a size less of a guess.
Health claims need caution. The FAQ lists benefits for anxiety, ADHD, autism, chronic pain, restless legs, and PTSD, saying "studies have proven" these effects, but it doesn't cite specific studies. A weighted blanket is a comfort product, not medical treatment. Anyone with a medical condition should talk to a doctor first.
Safety for children. Weighted blankets aren't appropriate for infants or toddlers, and any child using one should be old enough to move it off easily. Check the weight guidance with a pediatrician.
Not for everyone. People with breathing, circulation, or mobility problems should check with a healthcare professional before using one.
Mixed review on small accessories. One customer review of the NODPOD masks mentions beads shifting between pods and a lack of response from the company. Most feedback on the blankets is positive, but read the reviews on accessories before buying.
Weight feel varies. Knit blankets can feel lighter than standard ones at the same listed weight.
Inconsistent figures. Some "regular" prices and customer counts differ between pages.
If you want to try a weighted blanket from a Canadian company, Better Sleep offers a wide choice, solid materials, a 60-night trial, and a 2-year warranty. Pick your weight carefully, treat the health claims as marketing, and take advantage of the trial period to see if it suits you.
