8 Best Weighted Blankets of 2026

Baloo designs its blanket around two complaints restless sleepers have about weighted blankets: heat and cleaning. The shell is 100% cotton, the fill is lead-free mini glass beads, and Baloo says there is no polyester filling anywhere inside, which it argues keeps the blanket breathable. The company states that the blanket is machine washable and dryer safe thanks to double stitching, and recommends washing it alone on a cold, gentle cycle and drying on low. Sizes cover most needs: a 12 lb throw at 42 x 72 inches, a full/queen at 60 x 80 inches, and a king at 80 x 87 inches in 20 or 25 lb that two people can share. The 12 lb throw was $198 when we checked, and it is HSA/FSA eligible. The limits are the fixed weights on the throw and king, and a 30-day return window, so pick your weight carefully.

The Cotton Napper is the main alternative to bead-filled blankets. Bearaby gets the weight entirely from layers of hand-knit organic cotton, so there are no beads, pellets or polyester fillers, and the chunky loops leave gaps for air to move. It comes in four single-person weights, from 10 lb at 40 x 64 inches to 25 lb at 48 x 72 inches, and Bearaby suggests choosing about 10% of your body weight and rounding down if you fall between sizes. The whole blanket is machine washable: Bearaby recommends a cold delicate or permanent-press cycle and a low dryer setting, warns against top-loading machines, and notes it may take more than one drying cycle. It was $179 on sale against a regular $199 when we checked, with free shipping and a 1-year warranty. Couples who want one blanket over the whole bed will need Bearaby's separate queen model or another brand.

Layla's blanket is a conventional glass bead design with a few useful details. Each side has a different face: 300 thread count cotton for a smooth feel, and a low-pile polyester faux fur that Layla says will not shed or pill. The fill is high-density glass microbeads held in hexagon-shaped baffle boxes, which Layla says keeps the weight even and stops the beads from bunching, with extra batting to quiet them. Weight and size are linked: 15 lb at 48 x 72 inches, 20 lb at 60 x 80 inches, or 25 lb at 80 x 87 inches. Care is simple, as the whole blanket can be machine washed cold and tumble dried low, and a 5-year warranty covers materials and workmanship. It was $122 during a flash deal against a $224 retail price when we checked. The catch is that flash deal orders cannot be returned, so the usual 30-night trial does not apply at that price.

The Tree Napper is Bearaby's answer for people who overheat. It uses the same hand-knit, bead-free construction as the Cotton Napper, but the yarn is TENCEL made from eucalyptus fibers, which Bearaby describes as silky and cool to the touch. The company claims the fabric is 50% more breathable and twice as moisture-wicking as cotton; those are Bearaby's figures, not independent tests. Weights run from 10 lb at 40 x 64 inches up to 25 lb, and Bearaby lists the blanket as machine washable. It was $224 on sale against a regular $249 when we checked, with free shipping, 30-day returns and a 1-year warranty. The knit is sized for one person, so it will not cover a queen or king bed, and it costs more than most bead blankets on this list. For a sleeper who has given up on weighted blankets because of night sweats, it is the most targeted option here.

YnM sells more weight options than anyone else on this list. Its Cooling Bamboo Weighted Blanket comes in 7, 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, 25 and 30 lb versions and in sizes from kids twin to king, so it is easy to land close to 10% of your body weight. The outer fabric is bamboo, which YnM says regulates temperature and wicks moisture, and the company recommends it for warmer climates. Inside is a seven-layer system with small 4.7 x 4.7 inch glass bead pockets and more beads with less fiberfill, plus ties that hold the blanket inside a duvet cover. The king comes with a free matching cover; other sizes do not. Pricing starts at $109 for the default size listed, and a 1-year warranty applies. The product page text we fetched did not spell out how to wash the inner blanket, so plan on using a removable cover for routine cleaning.

Gravity uses a two-part design: an inner weighted blanket filled with fine-grade glass beads and a removable micro-plush cover made from cotton-velvet fabric. The beads sit in a grid of 4 cm² pockets, which Gravity says keeps the weight where it belongs, and an inner moisture-wicking layer is meant to stop the blanket from feeling damp. The cover is machine washable on cold and tumble dry low, but the inner blanket is hand wash only and air dry, or professional dry cleaning, which matters if you expect to wash the whole thing. The FAQ lists 15 lb at 42 x 66 inches and 20 or 25 lb at 48 x 72 inches. Prices run from $189 to $299 depending on weight. Gravity offers a 60-night sleep trial, the longest here, though returns are subject to a processing fee. It ships only within the US.

Hush sells its Iced weighted blanket as a set: a weighted duvet insert plus its Iced cooling bamboo duvet cover set, so the cover that touches your skin is the cooling part. Hush says the bamboo fibers stay cool and wick away heat and moisture, and that the insert spreads its weight evenly for steady pressure. Unlike most blankets here, it is sized for the bed: twin at 15 lb, full/queen at 25 lb and king at 30 lb. That suits couples who want one blanket over both sleepers, but solo sleepers under about 250 lb may find the queen and king heavier than the 10% guideline. The set was $341.60 during Hush's annual bedding sale against a regular $488, the highest price on this list. The page lists a 100/60 night money back guarantee. Because the cover is separate from the insert, you can wash it on its own.

Casper's Weighted Blanket is the budget pick here, mostly because of its clearance price. It was $79.99 when we checked, down 55% from a regular $179, and it ships free within 1 to 2 business days. Choices are limited to 15 or 20 lb, in gray or indigo, and Casper repeats the common advice to pick about 10% of your body weight, which makes it a fit for adults between roughly 150 and 200 lb. The weakness for this list is documentation: the materials, care and warranty details are in tabs that did not appear in the page text we fetched, so we could not confirm the fill, fabric or how to wash it. Because it is in the clearance section, it may sell out. If washability and cooling are your top concerns, the Baloo, Layla or Bearaby blankets publish more of what you need to know.
