Baloo Weighted Blanket for Adults 20 lb Full/Queen (Pebble White, 60"x80") | Cool & 100% Cotton | Machine Washable & Dryer Safe | Glass Microbead Fill

I'm new to weighted blankets but I'm never going back. Baloo's blanket feels like the best self-care and special treat I have ever received. The blanket was wrapped and packaged so beautifully; it felt like I was opening up a gift. The cotton is luxurious and soft, the blanket is heavy but incredibly cool. I fall asleep immediately and have the deepest, most restful sleep I've had in years!I have felt other weighted blankets (Gravity for example), and the quality is incomparable. The Baloo blanket is worth every penny and is an amazing gift for yourself or a loved one.

I did quite a bit of research before purchasing this weighted blanket. I absolutely love it! I chose this because it is high quality & chemical free cotton, has lead-free glass beads for weight, and it is machine washable and safe for the dyer. Many other weighted blankets are not machine washable and require an expensive and awkward cover. This one doesn't need a cover since it is machine washable, although it appears the company offers some lovely covers if you really wanted one. (I also checked out the Baloo website and facebook page. I even contacted the company with a question and received a cheerful and informative response). This is the softest cotton and very well made--such high quality. (I had been having trouble falling asleep and woke up multiple times through the night...friends suggested a weighted blanket....I did my research and decided on this Baloo. It took some getting used to the first two nights, and after that I have been sleeping better than I have in years! I fall asleep well and stay asleep through the night now with this blanket. It was worth every penny!). Although I have a queen bed, I chose this mini size and it is perfect for just me, and also easy to carry to the couch for a nap!

I purchased the Baloo Weighted Blanket after doing some research on the benefits of using weighted blankets to help address some of the issues that accompany anxiety. After giving birth to my daughter 9 months ago I found myself struggling with Postpartum Anxiety (PPA) and while I have found ways to manage facets of my anxiety I was still struggling with falling and staying asleep. When my blanket arrived I was on the third week of not getting more than 3 hours of sleep a night - and it was a rare occurrence if the 3 hours were consecutive. Even on nights when the baby would sleep 12 hours I would find myself unable to fall asleep even when exhausted; no matter what I tried my body would just not relax.I can't remember falling asleep the first night I used this blanket. For the first time in months I simply went to bed and fell asleep. The weighted blanket adds a layer of physical comfort that finally allowed me to relax. I have had my blanket for just over a week and my sleeping habits have drastically improved. Of course, the baby still wakes up in the middle of the night (haven't found the miracle product for that yet!) but now I am able to actually go back to bed after being up with her.I traveled over the weekend without bringing the blanket with me only to discover that my husband tried it out while I was gone. He was skeptical of it and even claimed he didn't like it when I first put it on our bed. Funny how that changed. At the return of my trip the 20lb blanket had somehow made it to his side of the bed :) I have since reclaimed my Baloo and I'm working on learning how to share. I guess you can say we are waiting for the oversized couples version (maybe in a CalKing size... hint, hint).But in all seriousness, if you are struggling to sleep try this product. I'm a huge believer in trying natural alternatives to medication before trying prescriptions and I am so thankful that this company and their product exists. And somehow they made the blanket so you don't overheat - it is still the middle of summer here in central Texas and I don't notice any extra warmth when compared to a standard blanket - AMAZING!!

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 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

Recibí esta manta la semana pasada y estoy alucinando. Es muy relajante y me ayuda a conciliar el sueño mucho más rápido. Normalmente me cuesta coger el sueño teniendo que tomar tés o suplementos especiales, pero con esta manta he encontrado que ya no los necesito. Lo recomendaría a cualquier persona que tenga problemas para dormir!

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

Had been thinking a bout getting a gravity/weighted blanket for a couple of years, but couldn't be sure which one to buy.Then I saw a New York Magazine web article "What's the best weighted blanket to gift" - it explains the features of 9 blankets really clearly - Baloo was their favourite and basically what swung it for me is that they said it wasn't noisy - (it isn't noisy) so I went for it.Full disclosure - I contacted Baloo to thank them for pointing me to Amazon UK for their product and they told me that they donate $5 to a childrens' charity for every posted review - I was going to review anyway - the donation has not changed my impartiality.So, after 15 sleeps I can report that I am delighted that I bought my blanket - it costs a lot of money, but probably no more than a luxury quilt - I think that it was money well spent.My sleep quality is better, I sleep longer and if I do wake up in the night, I'm finding it very easy to get back to sleep, when usually, once awake, I stay awake.And physically I feel more rested - not used to having so much energy when I first get out of bed.I had wrongly thought that I preferred sleeping under a light duvet - I am much more comfortable under the 20lb Baloo - the weight is spread , so it doesn't feel heavy, just comfy.Heat retention is interesting - even with the product material cover and a duvet cover - the glass beads are very good heat conductors - caught me out first time - I went to bed feeling cold and when I placed the blanket on me I felt colder, as my body heat was just being conducted away.Solution - if I'm cold, a summer duvet goes on first, then the weighted blanket.In the summer I intend to only use the weighted blanket.It makes no noise.The beads are retained in quilted pockets, so perfectly even distribution.Here is a forced negative, which is really just a fact - you can't do the duvet cover inside out trick to cover the blanket - well at least 20lb is too heavy for me to do that - you just have to take your time putting a cover on.There are ties on the blanket, which you could use keep the blanket in place if a cover had corresponding ties - but I'm not having any issues with the blanket moving inside the cover - even though the blanket is US queen sized and my duvet cover is UK king sized.Maybe one other thing - I don't set an alarm, as usually I'm awake early - twice now I've overslept - I'm glad I did and I'm looking forward to my next oversleep :)

Really disliked this the first week or two. Even contemplated maybe getting a lighter weight. But stuck with it and no regrets. I'm loving this. I toss and turn a lot and at first I found it hard to lift all that weight. That has decreased a bit but overall I find the quality of the sleep I'm getting to be better. Just what I needed! And dont expect it to be extremely cooling, it's still a blanket, but I do find it better than my usual duvet. I usually stick my feet out from underneath but dont do that with this weighted blanket. The only thing is, as soon as I put a duvet cover on it, it was no longer cooling. Otherwise, I love this and encourage others around me to give it a try.
