Product Information

Some blankets also promote more airflow than others due to how they are constructed. Knitted blankets have an openwork design that allows air to pass through freely, and this can help you keep cool – even if the blanket is exceptionally heavy. Quilted blankets cannot circulate air as well and often sleep hot as a result. Read on to find out what to look for when choosing the best weighted blanket for your needs. What to look for in a weighted blanket The blanket comes in twin, queen, and king sizes to accommodate single sleepers and couples who like sharing weighted blankets. There is also a teen size with slightly smaller dimensions than the twin. The teen is available in a 12-pound option and the twin is available in 15 and 20 pounds. The queen comes only in a 20-pound version, while the king is sold in a 30- or 35-pound option. The blanket is available in three weight options – 10, 15, and 20 pounds. These weights are best suited for people who weigh between 100 and 200 pounds. All models measure 48 by 72 inches, which is a good throw blanket size for one adult. The cover is removable and machine-washable, and the blanket carries an affordable price-point compared to similar quality blankets in the same size.

The humble weighted blanket has become a must-have for cosy comfort and relaxation, with a growing range of products flooding the market in the name of self-care. Most weighted blankets are designed for use by one person or, even if it’s a particularly big one, they usually won’t cover the whole bed. But the Baloo weighted comforter is designed to be large enough for sharing, snuggling and sleeping soundly under. You’re even likely to find one that will cover your entire bed, so long as it’s no bigger than a superking. We liked: The whole blanket is machine washable, which is handy if you don’t want to buy a cover. It’s white, so it’s a good neutral that will go with whatever room scheme you have if you want to leave it out (and there’s a dedicated bed comforter version designed for just that purpose).The weighted blankets come in a range of sizes, budgets, materials and designs, so it's not a case of one size fits all. The blanket is available in eight colors and three different weights: 15, 20, and 25 pounds. Due to the Bearaby’s ultra-breathable design, we recommend using it alongside your comforter or duvet in most circumstances. As the Bearaby features one of the most high-quality weighted blanket constructions on the market, it does have an above-average price-point.

Lastly, cost will inevitably come into your decision making process. Some weighted blankets have very high RRPs but we regularly see them discounted, so if there’s a pricey one that takes your fancy, it’s always worth a look to see if it’s on sale. How we tested the best weighted blankets Prior to Simba's blanket entering our lives, we'd regularly wake up our partner with tiny movements like rearranging the covers or scratching our nose (yes, this actually happened).
