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

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’d been wanting to try a weighted blanket ever since my daughter in-law brought hers down at our family Christmas morning gathering last year and wrapped it around me. I began doing the research, mainly looking for quality materials and non toxicity, though a bit pricy, Baloo has fit the bill perfectly and is worth the money! After all, a blanket is something you use every day, not just occasionally. The surprising part came the very first night, instead of an adjustment period, I experienced such comfort and a sense of ease, even bordering on wellbeing, come over my entire body. I noticed it helped my mind settle down too. I’ve long dealt with sleep and pressure pain issues from fibromyalgia, now also adding sjorgrens to that these last 7 years. These health challenges really mess with deep sleep and the ability to stay asleep, thus creating the need for a daily, non negotiable afternoon nap. Because of pressure sensitivity issues I chose the 12lb throw. I thought it might not be heavy enough, but I quickly found I wouldn’t want it any heavier as it’s perfect! Within a couple days I noticed a significant improvement in both deepness of my sleep and not waking up as often during my sleep, both during the night and the daytime nap also. It’s also a plus that I’ll be able to wash it myself at home! I do highly recommend Baloo weighted blankets for anyone looking for a deeper, more comforting night’s sleep. I’m very glad to have found Baloo and their products!
