Materials & Construction

Choosing Your Baloo Weighted Blanket
Baloo offers 3 weighted blanket design options. Choose from their weighted blankets, weighted comforters, or the mini. All 3 options are made with 100% cotton and glass microbeads. The difference between them comes down to the size, the weight, and the intended audience.
The mini is designed for children ages 5 and up. While the weighted blankets and weighted comforters are intended for adult use only. Let’s take a look!
Baloo Living Weighted Blanket
The Weighted Blanket is sized to fit the top of your bed only with no overhang or draping. It’s available in Pebble White or Silver Sage and includes small loops that can be used with a duvet cover.

Testing The Baloo Weighted Throw Blanket
Packaging
Consumers are increasingly showing concern for responsible manufacturing and packaging. Eco-conscious shoppers will be pleased to know Baloo Living uses plastic-free packaging, instead opting for reusable fabric dustbags.
Feel
The blanket is well-made, with no loose threads or fraying evident. The 100% cotton shell feels cool and soft to the touch and has a beautiful satiny sheen. The glass microbead filling feels like sand, adding some nice weight to the blanket without adding bulk. Measuring 3.5 feet wide and 6 feet long, the throw was large enough to fit over my entire body comfortably.
Weight
At just 12lbs, the weighted throw is lightweight and portable. It’s generally recommended that people choose a blanket weighing around 10% of their body weight—so it’s ideal for someone who weighs around 120lbs. Individuals weighing 150lbs+ may want to consider one of their heavier blankets.
It also works well for heavier individuals who are uncertain how they will respond to sleeping with a weighted blanket. Some reviews show sleepers feel claustrophobic with heavier weighted blankets. The throw is ideal for anyone new to using weighted blankets or who wants the benefits without feeling trapped or restricted.

Temperature-Regulation
The Baloo Living Weighted Throw Blanket is a great choice for year-round comfort. I’m a hot sleeper, and I anticipated the additional weight would make me feel even warmer throughout the night, but this wasn’t the case; it did a great job regulating temperature. I’d definitely recommend this for hot sleepers and individuals who suffer from menopause or night sweats.
How To Care For Your Baloo Weighted Blanket
Caring for your new weighted blanket is easy! All you need to do is wash it in cold water on the gentle cycle, then tumble dry it on low heat.
