Quick answer: A 7 lb weighted blanket is the middle kids size. On the Hazli chart it fits children around 60 to 80 lb and measures 41 × 60 in, a foot longer than the 5 lb. Choose it when a child has outgrown the 5 lb range, not as a size to grow into. The Hazli 7 lb Kids Weighted Blanket comes in Blue, Pink, Violet and Turquoise; check the product page for what is in stock today.
Safety first: not for babies or toddlers. Never use a weighted blanket with an infant or toddler. It is only for children who can push it off on their own, without help. Keep it from the shoulders down, never over the face or head.
The 7 lb sits between the smallest and largest blankets. Here is how to tell if it is the right one, what the extra length means, and what to check before you buy. The full chart is in our kids weighted blanket size chart.
Who a 7 lb weighted blanket is for
On the Hazli product guidance the 7 lb suits children around 60 to 80 lb. That tracks the common rule of thumb of roughly 10% of body weight, which is a general guideline for choosing between sizes rather than a medical standard; the product's own range is what to follow. Weigh the child, find the row, and if they sit on the line between 5 lb and 7 lb, pick the 5 lb. If they sit between 7 lb and 10 lb, pick the 7 lb. Lighter is always the safer miss.
7 lb vs 5 lb
Two pounds of fill and a foot of length. The 5 lb is 36 × 48 in; the 7 lb is 41 × 60 in. The temptation is to buy the 7 lb for a 55 lb child because they are tall; we would not. Length matters less than weight, feet poking out is normal, and a blanket heavier than the chart intends is one the child kicks off or struggles with.
7 lb vs 10 lb
The 10 lb is 48 × 72 in and, on the Hazli guidance, for teens and adults around 90 to 110 lb. If your child is 78 lb and growing, it is tempting to skip ahead. Do not. Buy the 7 lb now, and when the child is well into the 90s, move up. Our 10 lb weighted blanket post covers that step.
Safety rules
- Not for babies or toddlers. The lightest size in the range is intended for children of roughly 40 lb and up; the 7 lb is for bigger children still.
- The child must be able to remove the blanket alone, lying down and sitting up. Test it before the first night.
- Supervise the first uses.
- Shoulders down, never over the face or head.
- Follow the product's weight guidance and do not size up past it.
- If your child has health, breathing, mobility or developmental concerns, check with a pediatrician or therapist first.
What the 7 lb Hazli is made of
The build is the same across the three sizes; only the weight and dimensions change.
- Micro glass beads, non-toxic, hypoallergenic and odorless, sealed inside small square-stitched pockets so the weight stays spread evenly.
- Nine layers, with microfiber on both sides of the bead pockets so the surface is smooth.
- A removable minky-dot cover, plush and soft, attached with eight ties and a full-length zip.
- Certified materials: fabrics to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, CPSIA compliant, and the PTPA Winner's Seal on the blanket.
Washing
Only the cover is machine washable: untie the eight ties, unzip, wash cold on gentle, tumble dry low, no bleach or softener. The inner weighted blanket is spot clean only.
Minky is a plush fabric, so the blanket feels a little warm. If a room runs hot, use the inner blanket without the cover.
Colors in the 7 lb
The 7 lb is made in Blue, Pink, Violet and Turquoise; stock of each color varies, so check the product page. This is the largest size that comes in Pink. See the blue weighted blanket post for colors by size.
