Bare Home Cotton Weighted Blanket (Light Grey, 40"x60" 7lbs)

I bought this blanket for my son almost 2 years ago. It has held up extremely well! I’m very impressed with the quality and weight of the blanket.

If you like being underneath a lot of covers, regardless of whatever temperature you want, this may be nice for you. I was a little skeptical, but I absolutely adore my weighted blanket now. It is true that the glass beads don't insulate like regular blankets do, so in the summer time I just have it on top of a regular flat sheet, and I stay cool. In the winter I stack flat sheet -> weighted blanket -> comforter, and I stay warm. I can be super comfortable any time of year. Also recognize that it is filled with glass beads, and it a little fragile. No matter how it's made, it's still full of 17 pounds of glass balls, so be careful with it. I never lift mine by the edge, I always try to support a large portion of it from underneath. I'm also not rough with it, and would be cautious giving it to a kid. Every now and then I can find a tiny glass bead here or there. It's rare, and they don't bother me at all. I simply notice one rarely, then toss it in the garbage. Never bothers me, and it's really rare if you're just gentle with it. I would pay attention to sizing guidelines available online. For me personally, 17 pounds is perfect. I'm 160 pounds, and it's definitely the Goldilocks weight for me. I'm also 6'2" and it's long enough for me, but it's not quite as big as a typical full size flat sheet. I have not tried to clean it yet. I always have the flat sheet between the blanket and myself, so I never make direct contact with it. Again remember that it is filled with a lot of heavy glass beads, so be careful. I plan to occasionally hand wash it, very gently, in a bath tub, then lay it out flat to dry with lots of airflow. I want to ensure that the wet beads never let gravity pull them against the stitching all at once (don't hold it vertical). But I will spend this effort on this blanket because it's freaking awesome, I really like this blanket a lot. If you're still reading this, but this blanket. You're clearly interested, you've read this far, so you know how to take care of it, and it's really good, so buy it.

If you've never used a weighted blanket before, and you're intrigued by the concept, this blanket is a solid choice. Basically, humans have a subconscious need to be "held" while sleeping. This comes from the way we were handled when we were babies by our mothers. It provides a sense of being safe, allowing us to relax deeply to get the solid recuperative sleep we were meant to receive. This blanket will do just that. I use a smartwatch, and my sleep quality went immediately up, from a routine score between 65 to 75, all the way up to 85. No other changes were made, and my REM sleep duration also increased. Make sure your bedroom is as dark as possible, and keep your window open to receive a never ending supply of fresh air. If you do that, combined with this blanket, you will sleep like a bear during hibernation. I have no way to know for sure, but I feel like I also have less anxiety during the day. It might be attributed to this blanket. As far as the blanket itself, it's comfortable and heavy. 5/5 Stars.

So far, we like it. Sleeping under this blanket does seem to trigger deeper sleep. It seems well made (more when we wash it.) I put it in a new cover and clipped it inside. It stays put on the bed, but I'd say it's a little long--the weight works best when the blanket is just an inch or so larger than the bed. You don't want a lot hanging over.

100% Cotton. Much better that one I had before from a different brand.

I got this for my wife for Christmas she absolutely loves it is she lays down on the couch with this she sleeps for a nice long time very comfortable sleep

I have the worst night time anxiety. My SIL recommended this blanket. I can’t live without it. I even give us precious suitcase space to travel with it. It actually very easy to wash and dry.

UPDATE: THIS WEIGHTED BLANKET WASHED BEAUTIFULLY & EVERYTHING STAYED WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO AFA THE GLASS BEADS!! STILL 5-STARS ALL THE WAY!! My son had been wanting to try a fairly heavy 18-25 lb) weighted blanket. So, the hunt was on. I had two primary concerns: 1). The outer material, it’s softness & how it felt against his skin (both of my kids are very tactile!). 2). The inner weighted material was also a consideration as I preferred glass beads on the inside and smaller sectioned pockets where they are placed. This makes for an even distribution of the beads, therefore: the weight. ••THIS BLANKET FIT MY CRITERIA PLUS, IT HAD GREAT REVIEWS!! It looks very nice on his bed and has no off-putting smell. One small drawback; It’s very heavy so I must take it to a laundromat and use a 4-6 load washing machine just to launder it, strictly due to its weight, esp when it’s wet!! It gets heavy enough that it would likely go off balance or overload even the best non-commercial front / top loaders at home. But, I knew this prior to my purchase. **I will edit this review AFTER washing/drying the weighted blanket to let everyone know how it held up throughout the laundering process.** ICYMI: BC ITS WORTH REPEATING:: ALL OF MY REVIEWS ARE FROM MY VERIFIED ACCT AND I PAY FULL PRICE FOR MY PURCHASES, LIKE EVERY OTHER AMAZON SHOPPER!

This weighted blanket was a good price, soft, and cozy. My son sleeps well now.

Hi there! I’m a 5’1 158IBS and I bought the 48X72 15 IBS weighted blanket and ordered a separate cover for it. I was picky about getting the right one- Glass Beads, 4 or 3 inch square pockets, good quality, and at least 8 reinforced loops. This is Day 3 or 4 with the blanket sleeping and I think laying on my back with the weight is keeping my spine, neck, elbows, and knees where it should be... this is making me wake up sore and kinda in pain, but I think this good so I’m not stopping the blanket. I don’t blame the blanket I blame the years sleeping in bad posture. And it’s heavy so at night it can be hard to pick up and move. If this is for someone who is sick or frail, definitely go lighter or else it will be hard to get off to breathe too. (As an asthmatic I have had to take it off my chest but kept it tummy and down. Worked like a charm) Being mindful of your body. All in all, I love the weighted blanket and it helps to ultimately calm me down with a good hug. I feel good and not as angry in the morning. I’ve been called names in the morning in the past. 5/5 would recommend this to all my friends including you.

Super happy with this weighted blanket as it is not as heavy as some others. Nice cotton feel fabric and the grey is very modern looking.

I live weighted blankets. Helps me sleep with anxiety and dont need 4 comforters to put me to sleep. Litterally cant sleep without one now. Greatest invention ever

As expected of the item. Happy with the purchase. Thanks!
