Baloo Weighted Blanket for Adults 12 lb Throw (Pebble White, 42"x72") | Cool & 100% Cotton | Machine Washable & Dryer Safe | Glass Microbead Fill

Prior to finding Baloo brand, I purchased several other weighted blankets and was quickly displeased with the fabric and the way beads bunched up in pockets. I actually hate polyester bedding and also considering the hot summers where I live I knew they would be a nightmare. I searched all over for 100% cotton weighted blankets, found one that said it was cotton but had a polyester fill.. NO WAY!! Well luckily I found the Baloo brand and realized the cost is higher due to the quality of materials and better design and assembly. Before Black Friday came I first purchased the Silver Sage in 15lbs. I truly loved it! But aesthetically it would look wonky with my bedroom colors. I originally wanted a blue one but since they didn't have it I settled. Later I got the blue linen duvet cover which was alright and used all the ties. The duvet still slipped at night.. I then wondered if I needed a heavier weight so I returned the silver sage, kept the duvet and got a 20lb in pebble white. That weight was a dream come true and put me to sleep almost faster but I also learned to put my comforter on top of the Baloo blanket instead. After many nights the duvet on the weighted blanket still slipped around and shifted which was annoying. I also noticed that I was waking up with sore shoulders and neck if I slept with the blanket up to my neck as sleeping sideways. I read other reviews and realized that I should stick with the 15lb blanket and in doing so that's when I saw there was a new one in a Navy Blue!! This was what I wanted originally so I was excited and didn't need a duvet that would shift around. I still tried the 20lb out a few more days and liked it but still was a bit too heavy to pull on the bed and plus since I have a black kitty I didn't want all his hairs to show up. I cleaned off the pebble white blanket amd will be returning it. The Luna blue color is absolutely beautiful and it's the perfect weighted blanket that makes all my dreams come true 💙 also I am keeping the box :-) as you can see my Panther loves it and its the perfect size for him too!It's literally taken me YEARS to create my natural bed. It is not cheap and is a lot healthier and suggest others do the same as our health is contingent on our sleep. Worth every penny and definitely worth the weight! . I highly recommend this brand due to the sustainable and all natural materials and quality . I will probably purchase from their website a throw or something if I can get on discount. Someone else did mention they had shoulder pain with the 20lb blanket so keep that in mind depending how you sleep.

I was skeptical about spending the money on this weighted throw having no idea if it would be “cozy” as well as help me sleep better. I chose the smaller throw to use on my side of our king size bed as I knew my husband would hate it. He sleeps hot and I am always cold. Not only was I surprised at feeling cozy thanks to the weight, but my back and hips no longer ache and I’m no longer flipping from side to side as frequently and fall asleep much faster. I am very happy with my purchase!!

I bought this for my spouse to try, as they are dealing with Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) and sleep apnea, as well as chronic pain issues. They are also prone to nightmares, which are sometimes associated with sleep apnea. I did a lot of research and read lots of reviews and finally settled on this one. It has been wildly successful in improving the quality and duration of their sleep. Often they would wake early in the morning after only 5 or 6 hours of sleep and not be able to fall back asleep. With this blanket we are happy to say it’s more like 8 hours of restful deep sleep. As the person sharing the bed, I can observe the sleep is more peaceful with much less tossing and turning, and much less leg movement. It’s made a huge difference in the quality of sleep!We have a king bed and this works perfectly for his half of the bed. It does overlap onto my side by about 8 inches, but I roll that up toward the center, which makes a heavy part and helps keep it from sliding off the bed. If you let too much of it hang off the side of the bed gravity will pull it, so be mindful. It would be the perfect size for a twin. We choose the 20 lb, he likes it. It does make him a bit hot, but we were able to solve that by turning our AC down 2 degrees. The baffles are sewn with extra smaller panels and really helps keep the beads distributed well. The fabric is beautiful and there are tabs for using inside a duvet cover, if desired, but it would be too hot for him. We have had absolutely no issues finding sand in the bed, which was a common complaint almost every other weighted blanket had. I haven’t washed it yet, but we have a cat that likes sleeping on it and using the upholstery attachment on my vacuum has kept it fur free.I tried it and within five minutes I had to get out from under it. It was just too much for me and really bothered my feet to have something that heavy on them, regular blankets are fine for me. On the other hand, within five minutes my spouse was almost asleep for an afternoon nap, which never happens. You will either love it or leave it in our experience!11/17/18: thanks to a cat with poor litter box hygiene I had to wash the blanket. I have front load machine and washed it on gentle, as per the directions. I thought it might bunch up and not tumble correctly due to the weight, but it worked perfectly. And it actually dried faster than a regular quilt or duvet because the weight kept it from rolling into a ball. The cotton is a little less smooth than before washing, which is to be expected.

This is a bit more pricey than some other weighted blankets here. Yet This one is made of cotton so it " breathes " well, I dont like "microfiber" and "polyester" as both of these materials are literally made from left over materials from processing crude oil into gasoline. Its a horrible non breathable material which is why ppl get the impression that its warm, yes because its suffocating your skin. Horrible in any clothing , etc..yet..this one is 100% cotton and you can immediately feel that its warm but allows airflow, they 12 pounds of weight you feel immediately when you get it. I got mine to help with my Restless Legs Syndrome and its helping me rest a bit when my RLS isnt super bad. I got the throw blanket which I double up to increase the weight felt on my legs. It is white so be careful of spills or whatever. but its also filled with tiny glass beads ,not sand at all...Like some of the cheaper ones. The stitching is decent but its not double stitched which may have been better just to ensure it lasts over time and thru washing over time. I havent washed it just yet as I use it on top of my comforter..so it doesnt get exposure to get dirty as quickly...I will have 2 see how it holds up over time....n thats the only reason I gave it 4 stars. First impressions n 5 nights have been good. But time will tell.

This is a lovely blanket. So glad I did a lot of research on line before purchasing. No odour, soft luxurious cotton fabric. Makes no noise at all. Called customer service before purchased and actually spoke to a person that was able to answer my questions and assist with my purchase. This blanket actually helps me sleep. Glad I chose organic cotton weighted blanket by Baloo!

Quality weighted blanket, use it every night and my sleep is so much better.

Me habían recomendado esta manta para ayudarme a dormir y me ha llegado en plena ola de calor, y aún así la he podido usar, tiene una textura suave y el tejido deja respirar.Cuando alguien viene a mi casa me encanta pasarles la manta porque nadie se espera que algo tan fino pese tanto xD100% Recomendable

I had contacted customer service when looking for a weighted blanket although could not find chemical free cotton that is cool and breathable all year round, available for purchase in canada. They shared they were going make they would notify me when it occurred with great follow through. No surprises with exchange rate, duties and it arrived within a few days after purchase. It is beautifully made and very soft. Obviously good quality and I love that I covers my bed and is long covering my feet as well as being able to be pulled up high to snuggle around my neck, unlike the throw style. Premium quality for sure. Upon opening I felt like I was receiving a gift and absolutely love how they displayed the free gift. Thank you Baloo for making this cozy eco friendly product available for us in canada

I have the beginnings of fibromalgia (diagnosed by specialist) and I have had sleep retraining with the NHS and it helped but didn't solve my problen of not sleeping long enough. I have been thinking about getting a weighted blanket for years but was hestitant as I didn't want to spend this sort of money on something and then decide it wasn't for me. I did my research and this came up on several lists of best weighted blankets. It took a couple of nights to get used to it - infact I started off with it just over the bottom of my legs and over time gradually moved it up. But now I wouldn't be with out it because I have noticed my legs and joints are no longer stiff in the morning and if I wake up during the night I easily get back to a deeper sleep again. I also definately have more energy. I can confirm it doesn't rustle at all and the material is comfortable. I bought the queen and had a wobble after purchase as I was worried I would have loads of material left over and there would be this huge blanket wall between myself and my husband (as he doesn't use the weighted blanket) - but I had no reason to worry as the material is very thin and just bundles up around me. I have also not had a problem with it falling off the bed due to weight. I highly recommend this blanket and if they had a children's option I would buy one for my children to help with their sleep.
