Baloo Weighted Blanket review

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.
