What is the Sleep Number Weighted Blanket Made Of?
Weighted blankets can vary in fill and cover materials, so I always like to kick off my reviews with a section on what a specific product is made of. To learn more about the variety of weighted blankets out there, check out the best weighted blankets roundup.
Like many weighted blankets, the True Temp includes a removable cover (like a duvet cover) and an inner blanket that’s filled with weighted beads. The True Temp’s outer cover is removable and machine washable, which is a great perk. The washable cover is made of a cotton and polyester blend that feels cool to the touch. In my opinion, this cotton cover has more of a linen feel than a cozy microfiber feel.
The main perk of this cover is that it includes Sleep Number’s 37.5 active particle technology. This tech is moisture-wicking, which really helps reduce overheating. Personally, I felt this blanket felt much cooler than a traditional weighted blanket.
The True Temp’s inner blanket is made of polyester and filled with a mix of glass beads and plastic pellets. It’s kept in place with inner ties. The fill is sewn into this layer using no shift channel construction, which is a channel-like compartment design that helps ensure the weighted beads are evenly distributed throughout the blanket. In my opinion, the fill stayed very evenly distributed no matter how much I moved this blanket around. Even weight distribution is a key factor in a comfortable weighted blanket, so I was glad the True Temp’s internal quilting kept its fill in place.
As I mentioned above, this blanket comes in a 12-pound and 20-pound model. Sleep Number suggests choosing the model that is closest to 10 percent of your body weight. The blanket is 48 x 78 inches, which means it’s about the size of a standard throw blanket.
What Does the Sleep Number Weighted Blanket Feel Like?
Now that you know what this blanket is made of, I want to talk a little more about how it felt to test it! For reference, I tested out the 12-pound version of this blanket.
Like all weighted blankets, the True Temp blanket offered a nice Deep Pressure Touch, which is just a fancy phrase meaning it distributed weight across my body. Weighted blankets, and other forms of Deep Pressure Touch are great for relieving anxiety to help you get a good night’s sleep. Personally, I felt calm and comfortable under the True Temp. It was heavy enough for me to feel cocooned, but not so heavy that I felt trapped.
As I mentioned above, I also liked that this bed’s fill was really evenly distributed. I tested the blanket lying down with it on top of me, and sitting up with it wrapped around my shoulders. The fill stayed put in both positions, which I really liked.

Is the True Temp Weighted Blanket Good for Hot Sleepers?
This weighted blanket was designed for hot sleepers, and I think it delivered! I don’t think it restricted airflow or trapped body heat. In fact, I found it offered more breathability than some comforters or duvet inserts.
I also liked that the True Temp’s outer cotton blanket felt much more breathable than something soft and fuzzy. If you’re looking for a temperature-balancing weighted blanket I think the True Temp blanket is a great option. If you’re looking for something warmer, I’d opt for another weighted blanket.
How Durable is the Sleep Number Weighted Blanket?
This blanket felt very high-quality to me, and I think it would definitely stand up to a machine wash. Just be sure to only wash the outer cover, the inner blanket is spot clean only (you don’t want a washing machine full of glass beads). I also think this blanket could stand up to some rough use. All in all, I’d estimate it will last you 5-7 years, if not longer.

True Temp weighted blanket complaints
- Sleepers over 200 pounds will need a heavier blanket to get the amount of Deep Pressure Touch they need to get all the calming benefits of a weighted blanket.
