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

Love this blanket! I sleep longer with no disruption in my sleep with this blanket. Soft, functional and very durable

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 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.

Lovely, well-made blanket. Great feel. Keeps me at a comfortable temperature. Doesn't slip off the bed. Does the "hug" thing.No polyester either inside or outside. Most of the "cooling" weighted blankets have cotton or bamboo or the the like, but have polyester in the fill. The blanket is washable but I haven't washed it, yet. I use a cotton percale sheet underneath.The numbers don't lie. I use a Polar watch to track my sleep: "Polar's Nightly Recharge™ assesses recovery by measuring both sleep quality (Sleep Charge) and how well your autonomic nervous system (ANS) calms down during the early hours of sleep (ANS Charge)." My nightly recharge was "Good" and had the most green that I can remember. Both my Sleep Charge and ANS were "Much Above Usual", with some impressive numbers. I can't recall every having such good sleep numbers!This is a weight step up from using a 7lb blanket. I had found both a 15lb and a 12lb too much for me, so I started with the 7lb. It was time to move back up to a 12lb and I'm very happy.My one complaint is that the blanket is a little narrow. Most twin-size weighted blankets are 48"; however, this one is only 42". Not a deal breaker but, hey.A little expensive but worth it for a good night's sleep.

I bought the 15 lb version for my wife as a birthday present. She is 120 lb back sleeper who is extremely sensitive to any type of disturbance to her sleep routine. She did not like it. She felt like she was being crushed. She was worried about hurting herself when making the bed. She assured me that it must be a 20 lb blanket because it is so hard to move (even though the tag showed it was a 15 lb blanket). She was also concerned that it was a queen size cover and she has a king size bed. So I took it for use on my bed.I slept better than I have in months. Every night I used to toss and turn and wake up and lay there for hours. I am now getting 7 hours of sleep. I think it is great.She decided to buy a 10 lb blanket somewhere else. Still too heavy. We spun it sideways so it is only across her lower half. She now likes the new one.The short story is that a weighted blanket can make for a positivesleeping experience. Buy one and give it a try. If you don't like it then return it. The caution would be if you are buying it as a present then don't get it way in advance and use up most of the return period.
