Bearaby Cotton Napper review

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.
