Weighted Blanket 101: Your Guide to Finding the Perfect One in 2025

If you want variety without breaking the bank, the YnM Weighted Blanket is a solid pick — our testing gave it an 8/10 for value and options. We found the cotton shell feels familiar and the machine-washable construction is convenient, but in our testing the lack of a removable cover means you’ll likely need a separate protector. The blanket comes in many weights and sizes to match different sleepers, though our experience shows it can run too warm for hot sleepers despite its eco-friendly materials.

For eco-minded sleepers, the Tree Napper earned our attention for using TENCEL™ and being machine washable, and during our review we appreciated its sustainable bamboo-derived feel. While it scored a respectable 7/10, we found the $279 price makes it a premium option compared with alternatives. The breathable construction helps with airflow in real-world use, but the high cost and limited review data mean it’s best for buyers prioritizing materials and easy care over bang-for-your-buck.

We found the Textured Blanket compelling if temperature regulation and style matter — it uses NASA-engineered Outlast® fiberfill and offers a textured print in multiple colors. During our review it earned a 7.5/10 for innovative cooling tech and chic design, though our experience shows the proactive temperature control doesn’t always meet expectations for heavy night sweats. It’s machine washable and breathable microfiber, but be aware final sale items aren’t eligible for returns or the usual 60-night trial.

If you value even weight distribution and a premium feel, the Weighted Throw Blanket scored 7.5/10 in our testing for its quilted stitching that delivers consistent pressure. In our experience the cotton shell and great distribution make it feel calming, but we found the textured, crinkly outer cover may not suit everyone’s comfort preferences. It’s machine washable, however the requirement for a commercial washer is a real practical drawback if you don’t have access to one.

For kids or hot sleepers, the Bamboo Weighted Blanket — Kids Twin stood out in our testing for its cooling bamboo viscose shell and machine-washable ease, earning an 8/10 overall. We found the breathable bamboo material feels cool to the touch and is eco-friendly, which makes it an excellent bedtime upgrade for children. That said, our experience shows the blanket’s heavier fabric can still feel warm for some users, so check weight choices carefully to avoid overheating.

The Nuzzie Knit Weighted Blanket impressed us in testing for its open-knit design that promotes airflow and for being fully machine washable and dryable, helping it earn an 8/10. During our review we appreciated the recycled fill and eco-friendly focus, which make it a feel-good option for sustainability-minded sleepers. Keep in mind our experience shows the knit’s bulk can be cumbersome for storage or travel and some users reported durability issues, so it’s best as a cozy at-home piece rather than a grab-and-go blanket.

If you like seasonal flexibility, the Degrees of Comfort blanket ships with two duvet covers and felt soft in our hands, but in testing it scored a 6/10 due to practical issues. We found reports of bead clumping that can create uneven weight distribution, and our experience shows the actual blanket size may run smaller than advertised, so sizing up is often wise. It’s not machine washable, which limits convenience, but the included covers can help adapt it between warm and cool nights.

We found Bearaby’s Cotton Weighted Blanket to be a stylish, breathable option thanks to 100% organic cotton and an open chunky knit, and it scored a 7/10 in our review. During our testing the machine-washable design and decor-friendly aesthetic were big pluses, but our experience shows the open-knit can lack warmth on colder nights and the overall weight can be cumbersome to move. If you want a breathable, eco-friendly option for mild climates, this one looks great on the bed.

This Weighted Blanket earned a 7.5/10 in our testing for offering both ultra-plush minky and cooling bamboo lyocell cover options, giving real versatility for different sleepers. We found the machine-washable construction handy, and the dual fabric choices let you trade warmth for breathability as seasons change. That said, our experience shows the minky option runs quite warm for hot sleepers and the weight choices may lack sufficient compression for plus-sized users, making it a better fit for average-sized sleepers seeking fabric flexibility.

The Reversible Weighted Blanket is a practical year-round choice — during our review we liked the dual-sided design with a cooling bamboo side and a warm plush side, which earned it a 7/10 for versatility. We found the 48”x72” size and single gray color limit options, so it may not suit larger beds or those wanting more style choices. Our experience shows it’s an easy-care, machine-washable pick for single sleepers who want seasonal adaptability in one simple blanket.

If you want breathable, eco-friendly fabric on a budget, the Luna Luxe Bamboo Weighted Blanket ($43.50) is a smart pick — in our testing it scored a solid 7.5/10 for value. We found the 300-thread-count OEKO-TEX 100 bamboo viscose shell feels luxuriously soft and stays cooler than plush options, but our experience shows the blanket’s denser, heavier construction can feel too weighty for older users or those new to weighted therapy. Note it isn’t machine washable, so plan for spot care or a protector, and expect a very simple solid design without many style options.

The Gravity Weighted Blanket earned an 8/10 in our review for its luxe micro-plush cover and thoughtful construction, and it feels like a splurge that largely delivers. We appreciated the gridded stitching that keeps glass beads evenly distributed and a removable, machine-washable duvet cover that makes upkeep easy; in real-world use the inner weighted insert is hand-wash only, which can be inconvenient. Our experience shows it runs warmer than some options and is pricier at $250, but if you want a plush, reliable feel and easy-care outer fabric it’s worth considering.

If overheating bothers you, the Luna Luxe Cotton Weighted Blanket (priced at $59.97) stands out for its breathable 100% Oeko-Tex certified cotton and earned a 6.5/10 in our testing for comfort. We found the cotton shell helps hot sleepers stay cooler and the even weight distribution promotes calm, but during our review the lack of a removable cover was a practical downside — maintenance requires buying a separate protector. Our experience shows newcomers may need time to adjust to the initial constricting sensation, and limited colors reduce style flexibility.

The Solid Cotton Weighted Blanket scored 7/10 in our review for solid construction and easy cleaning — it’s machine washable which is a real convenience. We found the cotton build provides breathable comfort, but during our testing some users reported the internal plastic pellets can rustle when you shift positions, which may bother light sleepers. The price leans toward the higher side at $149.95, so while it’s dependable for regular use and upkeep, our experience shows you’re paying a premium and might hear the pellets at night.

This Weighted Blanket from Baloo Living earned a 7.5/10 in our testing for its eco-friendly, 100% natural cotton construction and easy-care design. We found the breathable, chemical-free material feels soft and is machine and dryer safe — great for year-round use — but during our review the smaller-than-expected size and higher price pushed down its versatility for larger beds. Our experience shows it’s a good pick if sustainable materials and breathability matter, though limited color choices and scaling for big beds are drawbacks to weigh.

The Helix Knit Weighted Blanket (score 8/10) impressed us with its open-knit, jersey-style yarns that feel incredibly soft and promote airflow. In our testing the breathable knit helped with temperature control so it won’t trap heat like dense weaves, but our experience shows it’s only available in single-sleeper sizes which limits usefulness for couples or larger beds. Cleaning can also be time-consuming due to its bulk and non-machine-washable construction, so it’s best as a cozy at-home piece rather than travel-friendly bedding.

If price and cooling are your priorities, the Comfy Cooling Blanket at $54.99 is an affordable option that scored 5.5/10 in our testing for basic performance. We found it’s lightweight (under 2 lbs), machine washable, and made from OEKO-TEX certified, hypoallergenic materials which is great for sensitive skin, but our experience shows the single-size offering and limited design choices reduce its utility for different beds or style preferences. The cooling effect is noticeable for moderate sleepers, yet extreme night-sweaters in very warm climates may still want something stronger.

At $35.47 the Weighted Idea blanket is an attractive budget pick and scored 6.5/10 in our review for delivering reliable pressure at a low cost. We found the OEKO-TEX certified cotton shell gives a safe, comforting feel that promotes relaxation, but during our testing stitching issues showed up for some users — seam failures led to bead leakage in a few reports — and despite claims of coolness some sleepers still found it too warm in summer. If you prioritize value and safety certifications, it’s worth considering but handle it gently and check seams regularly.

Tempur-Pedic’s Weighted Blanket earned an 8.5/10 in our testing for thoughtful design: the removable, machine-washable cover and even weight distribution make it easy to live with. We found the two weight options (15 and 20 lbs) give clear choices for personal preference, and the consistent internal quilting prevents clumping, but our experience shows the interior blanket is spot-clean only and the single size (72”L x 48”W) limits use on larger beds. If you want convenience and a proven brand feel, this is one of our higher-rated picks despite some heat-retaining polyester in the cover.

The Tranquility Weighted Blanket is a standout value at $39.99 and earned a 9/10 in our testing for delivering comforting pressure and effective relaxation without breaking the bank. We found it reliably promotes better sleep and anxiety reduction thanks to its balanced weight, though during our review the lack of a removable, washable cover — it’s spot-clean only — was a notable convenience trade-off. Our experience shows it’s a fantastic budget-friendly option if you want therapeutic pressure first and are okay with limited weight choices and basic care requirements.

Layla Weighted Blanket earned an 8.5/10 for reversible versatility—one side 300-thread-count cotton, the other soft faux fur—so you can swap warmth and texture. In our testing the hexagonal pocket stitching with glass microbeads kept weight evenly distributed, and the machine-washable cover plus a 30-day sleep trial made care easy. During our review we found it can run warm for hot sleepers and has limited weight options; at $219 it's pricier than many rivals. Our experience shows it's a smart splurge for those who want plush flexibility and dependable construction.
