Bare Home Weighted Blanket for Adults 25lb (80" x 87") - All-Natural 100% Cotton Heavy Blanket Nontoxic Glass Beads (Grey, 80"x87")

UPDATE: THIS WEIGHTED BLANKET WASHED BEAUTIFULLY & EVERYTHING STAYED WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO AFA THE GLASS BEADS!! STILL 5-STARS ALL THE WAY!! My son had been wanting to try a fairly heavy 18-25 lb) weighted blanket. So, the hunt was on. I had two primary concerns: 1). The outer material, it’s softness & how it felt against his skin (both of my kids are very tactile!). 2). The inner weighted material was also a consideration as I preferred glass beads on the inside and smaller sectioned pockets where they are placed. This makes for an even distribution of the beads, therefore: the weight. ••THIS BLANKET FIT MY CRITERIA PLUS, IT HAD GREAT REVIEWS!! It looks very nice on his bed and has no off-putting smell. One small drawback; It’s very heavy so I must take it to a laundromat and use a 4-6 load washing machine just to launder it, strictly due to its weight, esp when it’s wet!! It gets heavy enough that it would likely go off balance or overload even the best non-commercial front / top loaders at home. But, I knew this prior to my purchase. **I will edit this review AFTER washing/drying the weighted blanket to let everyone know how it held up throughout the laundering process.** ICYMI: BC ITS WORTH REPEATING:: ALL OF MY REVIEWS ARE FROM MY VERIFIED ACCT AND I PAY FULL PRICE FOR MY PURCHASES, LIKE EVERY OTHER AMAZON SHOPPER! MY REVIEWS (negative or positive) REFLECT MY OWN UNIQUE EXPERIENCE W/SAID PRODUCTS. YOU MAY HAVE A DIFFERENT EXPECTATIONS BC OPINIONS, LIKE BEAUTY, IS SUBJECTIVE.

I have the worst night time anxiety. My SIL recommended this blanket. I can’t live without it. I even give us precious suitcase space to travel with it. It actually very easy to wash and dry.

I gifted this to someone. He liked after first use but said it would take getting used to. It was a bit warm.

This is a good quality blanket with evenly distributed weight (queen, 15 lbs.) and as described, has a nice cooling effect.

If you like being underneath a lot of covers, regardless of whatever temperature you want, this may be nice for you. I was a little skeptical, but I absolutely adore my weighted blanket now. It is true that the glass beads don't insulate like regular blankets do, so in the summer time I just have it on top of a regular flat sheet, and I stay cool. In the winter I stack flat sheet -> weighted blanket -> comforter, and I stay warm. I can be super comfortable any time of year. Also recognize that it is filled with glass beads, and it a little fragile. No matter how it's made, it's still full of 17 pounds of glass balls, so be careful with it. I never lift mine by the edge, I always try to support a large portion of it from underneath. I'm also not rough with it, and would be cautious giving it to a kid. Every now and then I can find a tiny glass bead here or there. It's rare, and they don't bother me at all. I simply notice one rarely, then toss it in the garbage. Never bothers me, and it's really rare if you're just gentle with it. I would pay attention to sizing guidelines available online. For me personally, 17 pounds is perfect. I'm 160 pounds, and it's definitely the Goldilocks weight for me. I'm also 6'2" and it's long enough for me, but it's not quite as big as a typical full size flat sheet. I have not tried to clean it yet. I always have the flat sheet between the blanket and myself, so I never make direct contact with it. Again remember that it is filled with a lot of heavy glass beads, so be careful. I plan to occasionally hand wash it, very gently, in a bath tub, then lay it out flat to dry with lots of airflow. I want to ensure that the wet beads never let gravity pull them against the stitching all at once (don't hold it vertical). But I will spend this effort on this blanket because it's freaking awesome, I really like this blanket a lot. If you're still reading this, but this blanket. You're clearly interested, you've read this far, so you know how to take care of it, and it's really good, so buy it.
