Enter the total body weight (lbs) into the Weighted Blanket Weight Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Weighted Blanket Weight. 

Weighted Blanket Weight Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Weighted Blanket Weight.

WBW = BW * .10

Variables:

  • WBW is the Weighted Blanket Weight (lbs)
  • BW is the total body weight (lbs) 

To calculate the weight blanket weight, multiply the body weight by .10.

How to Calculate Weighted Blanket Weight?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Weighted Blanket Weight.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the total body weight (lbs).
    • The total body weight (lbs) is given as:: 200.
  2. Finally, calculate the Weighted Blanket Weight using the equation above: 

WBW = BW * .10

The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.

WBW = 200 * .10 = 20 (lbs)


Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

total body weight (lbs) = 150
