Modular Weighted Blanket | Customizable Pressure | Breathable Fabric | Perfect Comfort Every Night
If you have ever wrestled with a bulky weighted blanket that feels either suffocatingly heavy or far too light, a sleep wellness brand is bringing a much needed solution to Kickstarter. Ahloobo has introduced Zip Me, billed as the world's first modular weighted blanket. By using a clever system of high performance zippers and individual weighted modules, this blanket allows you to completely customize your comfort. Whether you need a small lap pad for lounging or a full size duvet for deep sleep, Zip Me lets you split, connect, and find your "just right" setup with a simple zip.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Name and Creator: Zip Me: The World's First Modular Weighted Blanket by ahloobo.
What It Is: Zip Me is an innovative, customizable weighted blanket system. Instead of one large, fixed weight blanket, it consists of individual weighted modules that can be zipped together to adjust the size, shape, and overall weight, providing targeted deep touch pressure exactly where you want it.
KEY FEATURES
Customizable Modularity: The system utilizes lightweight 5 lb and 6 lb modules connected by durable zippers. You can easily scale the blanket up or down depending on your body type or whether you are using it on the couch or in bed.
Easy Maintenance: Traditional weighted blankets are notoriously difficult to wash due to their bulk. Zip Me features a removable cover and a separate mineral filled insert, allowing you to easily machine wash the cover without wrestling with heavy fillers.
Premium Elastron Fabric: The exterior is crafted from Elastron Spirit fabric sourced from Portugal. It is highly breathable, waterproof, scratch resistant, and fully OEKO-TEX certified for safe, long term use.
Silent and Even Weight: The inserts are filled with natural minerals to ensure silent movement during the night. A meticulous 360 degree form fitting design, crafted by veteran Korean sewing masters, keeps the weight evenly distributed and prevents the beads from shifting or leaking.
Compact and Portable: Because it can be broken down into smaller sections, the blanket is incredibly easy to store or pack for travel, camping, and outdoor use.
REWARDS
Kickstarter Pricing: Backers can secure the Zip Me blanket at exclusive Early Bird discounts during the active campaign.
Options: The campaign offers various configurations, allowing users to select the specific number of modules and weights to build their perfect customized blanket setup.
Delivery: The campaign launched in late April 2026 and quickly surpassed its initial funding goals. Global shipping to backers will follow the conclusion of the funding and production phases.
CONCEPT
The core concept is Personalized Sleep Wellness. Ahloobo recognized that comfort is highly subjective, and a single approach to weighted blankets often leaves users frustrated. By creating a modular system, they give consumers total control over their deep touch pressure therapy, ensuring the blanket can adapt to different users and therapeutic needs over time.
INSPIRATION
The brand was originally inspired by the personal journey of a daughter with ADHD and her supportive mother who were looking for better sleep solutions. After realizing that the current weighted blanket market was filled with products that were bulky, impossible to wash, and locked into a single weight, the Ahloobo team set out to start a "blanket revolution." They engineered a product that finally bridges the gap between premium bedding, therapeutic comfort, and everyday convenience.
