Baloo Weighted Blanket

Important note on bedding textiles

When choosing blankets and sleep textiles, I focus on materials, construction, and what added treatments a product may include. I avoid performance finishes, stain or water repellents, and synthetic fibers that don’t breathe well or introduce unnecessary chemical coatings. Natural fibers and transparent construction help me feel confident about what I bring into a daily sleep space.

What I avoid / what I look for

I look for blankets made with 100% natural fibers, minimal processing, and thoughtful fill materials that support comfort without excess additives. I avoid synthetic outer fabrics that trap heat and finishes like stain-resistant or water-repellent coatings, since those are often where additional chemical treatments are applied.

Product description

The Baloo Weighted Blanket features a breathable cotton cover and glass bead fill evenly distributed in stitched channels. Using cotton promotes airflow and reduces the risk of overheating at night, which is common with synthetic fabrics. The channel stitching keeps the weighted fill flat and evenly distributed for consistent comfort. A cotton cover that’s easy to remove and wash also helps keep the blanket feeling fresh without relying on heavy finishes. The weight options let you choose the pressure level that feels supportive for your body, which many people appreciate for its gentle, even compression.

Things to keep in mind

Weighted blankets are inherently heavier, and the added weight can feel warm depending on your sleep style and room temperature. I recommend choosing a blanket weight based on your body weight and personal comfort, and washing the cover before first use with a low-tox laundry detergent, like MamaSuds, to help keep the fabric feeling fresh without unnecessary fragrance or residue. If you sleep warm, lighter-weight options or cotton layers underneath can help balance comfort.
