Best Cooling Weighted Blankets

The Luxome Weighted Blanket stands out from the competition for its ultra-soft feel and customization options. Constructed using silky bamboo-derived lyocell and, in some models, a plush minky fabric, this blanket is engineered to feel extraordinarily soft while remaining cool to the touch.

The Cooling Weighted Blanket is available in four weight options – 8, 15, 18, and 25 pounds. Though the blanket is primarily made using 300 thread count lyocell derived from bamboo, shoppers can choose to add a minky fabric to one side for a velvety feel. The blanket is filled with glass microbeads that measure under 1 millimeter, which are less noticeable than larger beads. Buyers can choose between grey, light grey, beige, white, and a lattice pattern. You may also choose between a blanket with a removable cover or an integrated cover. The blanket is easy to clean, as it is 100% machine-washable.

Luxome provides free shipping to customers in the contiguous U.S. The blanket can be returned within 30 days from the delivery date for a full refund, and Luxome will cover all return shipping fees.

Your own weight plays a major role in how comfortable a weighted blanket feels. Using what we call the “10% rule,” we recommend choosing a blanket that weighs roughly 10% as much as your body – though there’s wiggle room in either direction. The Aricove is an affordable option available in five different weights: 10, 12, 15, 17 and 20 pounds. This range ensures compatibility with most adults who weigh 220 pounds or less.

A shell made of moisture-wicking, bamboo-derived fabric encases the fill. This cooling material is also smooth and soothing for people with acne, rashes, and other conditions that cause sensitive skin. For weighted fill, the blanket uses glass beads that retain minimal body heat. Small, diamond-shaped baffles evenly distribute the fill to reduce clumping and shifting during the night, and the baffles are sewn through to prevent the beads from escaping.

Another perk of the Aricove Weighted Blanket is quick and easy cleaning. You may wash the blanket in any household machine using warm water and mild detergent, and then dry flat or tumble dry on low heat. Check your washer to ensure it is large enough for the blanket before performing your first laundry cycle. If you don’t want to clean the blanket often, a duvet cover can effectively protect it from the elements.

An approachable price-point and free shipping for all domestic U.S. orders make the Aricove Weighted Blanket a good choice for value seekers. You’ll also receive a travel-friendly tote bag for carrying your blanket when you’re on the go. Customers may return the blanket within 30 nights if they are not satisfied, and those who keep it receive a warranty covering structural defects for up to three years.

Gravity was one of the first companies to popularize weighted blankets for everyday use, and the brand’s product lineup continues to evolve. The Cooling Weighted Blanket builds on its predecessors with a design that resists shifting and a breathable cover that offers exceptional moisture control. These additional elements – along with three weight options – ensure most sleepers will find the blanket comfortable and suitable for year-round use.

The cover is composed of lyocell derived from eucalyptus, a naturally breathable and moisture-wicking material. Meanwhile, an inner blanket contains the glass microbeads providing the weight. Small baffle boxes prevent the fill from clumping to one side – a common issue with blankets featuring larger baffles – and durable grid-stitching holds the design together. You may remove the cover and launder it in any household washer and dryer, but the inner blanket should only be hand washed or spot cleaned as necessary. Four colors are available for the cover: gray, forest green, periwinkle, and pink.

The general rule of thumb for weighted blankets is to select a model representing roughly 10% of your body weight, though there is some wiggle room. The 15-pound Cooling Weighted Blanket should provide adequate pressure without feeling excessively hefty for people who weigh 120 to 160 pounds. Individuals who weigh more may want to consider the 22-pound or 35-pound blankets. The latter, one of the heaviest weighted blankets on the market today, should accommodate people who weigh at least 300 pounds and typically find these blankets too light.

The blanket’s standard size is ideal for solo sleepers, while the queen/king option is wide enough for two people. Gravity offers free shipping with U.S. orders and backs each weighted blanket purchase with a 30-night trial period.

The Bearaby Tree Napper Weighted Blanket is a luxury option that stands out for its hand-knit, breathable design. The open-knit pattern allows for ample airflow, which can reduce overheating throughout the night. Unlike most weighted blankets that use glass beads or other fillers, this blanket derives its weight from the yarn itself, which helps ensure even weight distribution.

The Tree Napper is made using a blend of breathable cotton and smooth, moisture-wicking Tencel lyocell. Tencel is a sustainably produced fabric derived from natural eucalyptus fibers. All of the materials are Fairtrade and OEKO-TEX certified, meaning that they have been tested and found free of harmful substances.

The Tree Napper is available in 15-, 20-, or 25-pound options, each of which is designed for a single user. The blanket can also be machine washed and tumble dried in cold water on the gentle cycle. Available colors include rosemary, almond, and pomegranate.

Bearaby offers free shipping to addresses in the contiguous U.S. The Tree Napper also comes with a 30-day trial, during which customers can return the product for a full refund if they are not satisfied.

A common complaint about weighted blankets is excessive heat retention, especially during warmer and more humid times of the year. Silk & Snow’s Knit Weighted Blanket features is composed of natural cotton yarns in a breathable open knit. Each yarn is densely woven to achieve the weighted effect without sacrificing airflow, making this blanket a good match for anyone who’s slept hot with more traditional weighted blankets in the past.

Our testers also appreciated the cotton’s soft and smooth hand-feel, noting this gentle glide should be comfortable for people with sensitive skin. You can choose from weights of 8, 12, 15, 20, and 25 pounds, a range that covers the vast majority of sleepers. The blanket is also available in eight colors. If you own a front-loading washing machine, you may launder the blanket at home. Otherwise, hand-washing or dry cleaning is needed.

The Knit Weighted Blanket is somewhat expensive, but Silk & Snow provides free ground shipping throughout the contiguous U.S. and provincial Canada. If you aren’t satisfied with your purchase, you may return the blanket within 100 nights of the delivery date and receive a full refund as long as it’s in donatable condition.

A high-quality weighted blanket can be fairly expensive, but there are a few affordable options for budget-conscious shoppers. The Layla Weighted Blanket is one example. Designed with a reversible cover and breathable glass beads to create the weighted effect, this blanket costs much less than many competitors. The reversible design is soft on both sides, offering a calm, cozy feel.

One side of the blanket is textured with a plush minky fabric. This surface feels fleecy and warm, making it perfect for chilly nights. The opposite side features 300 thread count cotton, which is smooth and breathable. Both surfaces are quilted with hexagonal baffles to contain the beads. Our testers noticed excellent weight distribution and minimal shifting. Comparatively, weighted blankets with larger baffles tend to clump to one side and feel uneven.

You can choose from weights of 15, 20, or 25 pounds. Using the “10% rule,” this makes the blanket ideal for people in the range of 150 to 250 pounds, but there is some wiggle room in either direction. We recommend the blanket for any adult between 120 and 280 pounds. The cover is fully machine-washable, making the blanket easy to keep clean.

In addition to a reasonable sticker price, the Layla Weighted Blanket qualifies for free ground shipping anywhere in the contiguous U.S. You’ll receive a 30-night sleep trial with your purchase. Should you decide to keep the blanket, Layla further backs it with a generous 5-year warranty against structural and material defects.

The Baloo Weighted Blanket is available in full, queen, and king sizes, as well as a smaller throw option. Buyers can choose between 15, 20, and 25 pounds for the larger options, with the throw blanket weighing in at 12 pounds. Constructed with a 100% cotton cover, cotton batting, and a glass microbead fill, the blanket features a durable build with plenty of airflow to minimize heat build-up.

Double-stitched quilting keeps the fill in place while you sleep, and the cotton batting adds cushioning. The blanket is vegan, carbon neutral, and chemical-free. The blanket also has loops so it can be attached to a separate duvet cover if desired. Shoppers can choose from a standard white cover, as well as three colors derived from natural dyes: clay, silver sage, and thistle.

The Baloo Weighted Blanket can be machine washed cold and dried on the gentle cycle, though larger sizes may require a commercial washing machine. The blanket is available for purchase in the U.S. and Canada, with free shipping in the contiguous U.S. Baloo offers a 30-day sleep trial, during which customers can return the blanket for a full refund less an $18 shipping fee.
