Bare Home Cotton Weighted Blanket (White, 60"x80" 17lbs)

I’m really enjoying this weighted blanket. I got the 60x80 size weighing 17lbs. I’ve only had it a few days and can tell I’m sleeping better using it. For years I’ve usually slept only about three hours before waking up and then alternating between wake and sleep for the rest of the night. Exhausting. This blanket has definitely helped with that problem because I’m sleeping longer now by about two hours. I can’t tell yet if it’s too light in weight for super deep extended sleep and may buy a heavier blanket to try. But I’m definitely keeping this 17 pounder because I have not had my usual 5 a.m. hot flash since using it. Maybe the metal beads are cooling? Whatever the reason, I’m sleeping better with it. Material: The blanket is not super thick or bulky and is easy to handle. I just sort-of shake it out in the morning (good arm workout) and put it back on the bed. The cotton exterior feels thick and appears to be sturdy. I like how the blanket looks. I got it in white and it actually is a true crisp white. Looks so nice I didn’t even put a cover on it. Five stars!

It is the perfect weighted blanket for me. Great product, easy to clean, helps me sleep more soundly. Highly recommend. I got the queen size. I share a king bed with my spouse but I use my own blankets and this is the perfect size for my body without taking over the whole bed. I use a thin cotton blanket underneath and another one on top of the weighted blanket and don’t overheat.

Just what I wanted - it is calming and comforting. It has gotten a little too hot here now for me to use it - but I'll be back to it when it cools off. Seems well-made.

I've had this blanket for almost a year now. So I've had plenty of time to see how it works for me. I ordered this for my mental health. I have bipolar disorder and experience depression. They recommend them because they are supposed to be comforting. I definitely have experienced this personally. It gives you a security and feels like your being given a hug. The weight of the blanket has a lot to do with this. If its not weighted properly you wont havr the right experience. The suggested weights for your body weight are actually pretty broad. I was 250 when i ordered this and ordered the 22lb. I have since lost 50lbs and can say that i do notice a difference. Its enough of a difference that i could probably use the 20lb. But its not to where i feel crushed. A key thing to look for is if youre having difficulty breathing. I have not experienced this. As far as your mental health and general use having that extra weight makes you feel like you're being spooned almost. If you sleep alone like I do, I'm sure you can see the benefit to this. The blanket stays nice and cool. You still have warmth from the weight but the glass beads have a cooling effect. I'm hot natured and can't sleep if I get overheated. With this blanket I actually have a duvet insert on top that I sleep with also. This blanket has held up really well. I havent ever used a duvet cover with this. I have dogs and kids but even with that, there hasn't been any fraying or separating of the material. The edging stiching has stayed in place with no leakage of the beads. I have washed it many times so there is some light piling. But that's to be expected considering how long I've had it. The fabric is actually softer than it was when I first got it. So this doesn't affect the feel. The color of the fabric has dulled over time though. I ordered it in white and it is now an off white. Now why i gave it 4 stars. I ordered a 60x80 queen size blanket. I measured it and I actually have a 75x56. It does not reach the edges of my mattress like they recommend. I should have sent this one back and ordered a king. So I would recommend that you size up with this brand. Other than that I really recommend this blanket from this brand for the quality and the price of it. These are usually not inexpensive products. So considering how well this has worked and held up I'd get this one.

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.

Works and feels great!!!

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.

I just bought 2 more of these! Great weight distribution, super comfortble, attractive colors, and washes well. I wash everything before I use it, so in it went, cold gentle cycle with detergent and a dash of vinegar to set the color so it never runs or fades (important). It would take forever to hang dry and is too heavy to hang anyway so I popped it into the dryer with 2 dry bath towels. The blanket was perfectly dry in half an hour and my kid sleeping under it just 2 hours later. It was like magic watching this weighted blanket so gently confine, and then settle my wiggly ADHD child with restless legs. That's the 10lb 40x60 green blanket. I love it, so the next day I got the velvety soft blue for my other kid (it's gorgeous but might be too warm for some people, I suspect), and a 12lb 48x72 for myself. I chose not to get a queen because it is heavy, and I think a larger one would be awkward and cumbersome to position or adjust at night. Besides, I'm single. If I weren't, I'd still consider 2 twins instead of a queen, personally. None of my family have been sleeping well lately but I look forward to some good rest tonight! As for choosing weight, I'd have definitely gone heavier years ago when my anxiety was super intense. For me now, the 12 lb twin blanket feels like I'm free to move but with resistance and it feels right. I'm a somewhat petite female. I had a great snuggle under it to try it out, and now it's happily whirring in the washer.

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

great

My 25 year old niece loves it
