Baloo’s stylish weighted blanket looks and feels a lot like a traditional duvet. It’s filled with glass microbeads, which are slightly heavier than fabric filings and allow the blanket to wrap around your body. The microbeads are paired with a thin layer of polyester to keep them from pooling within the blanket. Both are safe for the washing machine and dryer, so the Baloo weighted blanket is also quite easy to keep clean.
Read MoreThe Baloo’s best feature, though, is that it is machine-washable and -dryable—a rarity for weighted blankets made with glass beads. Baloo’s founder tells us that sturdier cotton as well as cotton lining and polyester batting make this possible.

"The majority of our testers enjoyed the design of the Baloo Weighted Blanket, which is quilted with tight baffles to evenly distribute the fill. A slim profile and breathable cotton shell makes the blanket a good option for hot sleepers — especially those who have felt uncomfortably warm with other weighted blankets — and four weight options covers a wide range of body types."

"A weighted blanket can help promote a deep relaxation that feels like getting a firm hug. They typically come in different weights, so according to Baloo, it’s best to choose one that’s 8 to 12 percent of your body weight. It shouldn’t feel like a coffin, but it should feel secure. And if getting a good night’s rest is the reason you’re offline, we are here for it."

"Regardless of the many positive claims I read online, there was a looming skepticism on whether this blanket would work for me — as if I were the exception. However, the blanket did work, and I now fall asleep within minutes each night sans anxiety. The past few mornings I have jumped out of bed well-rested and unnaturally chipper. The only dilemma now is that I am too comfortable to get out of bed."

Refinery29 - March 12, 2020
"This is an outstanding quality weighted blanket. I did TONS of research before settling on this one. I found out who the owner of the company is and was impressed with her company mission and production process. Initially, I only wanted a blanket but got to support an amazing company as well. Win-win. FYI: There are multiple features that make this blanket superior. The blanket can be washed! The glass filling is evenly distributed and silent. The weight doesn’t shift at all. The material is the same as organic. The material breathes and I don’t get hot."
Well Insiders - May 16, 2019
"The weighted blanket has become an invaluable part of my routine, both for better sleep and for a calmer demeanor. My inner skeptic, along with my inner anxiety, is fully abated."
