Are you looking for a relaxing weighted blanket? We researched, bought, and tested 10 of the best blankets available today. While these heavy throws may seem similar at first glance, they come in many sizes, weights, and materials. We addressed the seemingly simple task of sorting these unique blankets by conducting side-by-side analyses to tease apart differences in coziness, comfort, overall feeling, ease of cleaning, and available options. So, whether you are hoping to address a specific issue or you just like the feel of a full-body hug, rest assured that we’ve found a blanket to suit your needs.<\/p>\n

Along with weighted blankets, our bedroom reviews cover a variety of the top-rated sheets, including Egyptian cotton and cooling sheets. Come cooler weather when the temps drop, flannel sheets or one of electric blankets from our testing can be a warm and welcome addition to your bed, and check out our favorite mattress toppers for adding some extra comfort, and the top-rated pillow for side sleepers. If you’re just in the mood to treat yourself, you could also check out a variety of personal care products like our favorite foot massagers, massage guns for sore muscles, and heating pads.<\/p>\n

Editor’s Note: This review was updated on February 26, 2024, to offer additional product recommendations outside of existing award-winning weighted blankets.<\/em>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Duvet cover costs extra<\/div>\n
    Slightly stiff<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Across the board, the Luna Cotton is a great weighted blanket. It’s comfortable, evenly weighted, great for thermoregulation, made with healthier materials (OEKO-TEX 100 certified cotton), and costs considerably less than some of the competition. Double batting surrounds the beads, keeping them more evenly distributed throughout every square of this quilted blanket. The 100% cotton exterior adds another layer of comfort \u2014 like a nice set of cotton sheets against your skin. This versatile blanket manages to be both warm in cold weather and cool enough in warm weather. As the icing on the cake, the exceptionally comfortable Luna is available in a staggering variety of colors, sizes, and weights. <\/p>\n

    The double batting makes this blanket a bit stiffer than other models, although that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Where other weighted blankets tend to drape and hug every curve of your body, the Luna<\/strong> maintains its shape a touch better and feels more like a regular blanket. This also helps it keep some space around your body, adding to its overall comfort and effective temperature range. It doesn’t include a duvet cover, but it features numerous loops on the edges and corners to accommodate one. Luna sells covers for extra \u2014 and with the comparatively low cost of this blanket, we think it’s a reasonable price for what you get. Across the board, this weighted blanket was the most well-liked by our panel of testers and a great value, to boot. While there is not much to complain about with the Luna, if you prefer a less stiff blanket, check out the L’Agraty Knitted as an alternative. <\/p>\n

      With chunky knit weighted blankets on the rise, this cozy option from ZonLi Cooling is our favorite of the bunch. Its oversized \u201cyarn<\/em>\u201d is actually filled with heavy batting surrounded by soft fibers that make it both knitted and squishy \u2014 and very snuggly. By cutting out the beads and relying instead on uniformly weighted knitting, the ZonLi feels the most like a comfortable hug of any blanket we tested. It stretches as you move underneath it before settling back on your body in a very comforting way. Though knitted blankets can sometimes be drafty, the ZonLi is much less so than others we tested, thanks to the natural holes in the knitting. The individual stitches stay together rather well and also make the blanket look nice.<\/p>\n

      Although other blankets from ZonLi<\/strong> come in various colors, this knitted version is quite limited. As with many knitted items, the sides can roll up a touch, but the overall large size helps mitigate this issue. This is a fairly warm blanket when not stretched and motionless, but for cold sleepers, the spaces between threads may be too much. It’s technically machine washable, though the manufacturer recommends using a laundry bag. They also direct you to hang the blanket to dry it, though knit items should always be laid flat to dry to avoid stretching out. Our test blanket did retain a faint, unpleasant smell throughout our testing, though we expect this to go away eventually. Bottom line, when choosing a knitted weighted blanket, the ZonLi was our pick every time. If you’re not set on a knit-style blanket, another option we like for its easy-to-clean characteristics is the Gravity Weighted. The included duvet makes washing the Gravity a breeze. <\/p>\n

        Single side batting<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        The Waowoo Adult is a solid budget pick for a weighted blanket. Batting on one side gives an extra layer between you and the glass beads, helping to distribute their weight throughout each square. Eyelets around the perimeter of the blanket make it easy to attach a duvet cover if you’d like \u2014 though one isn’t included. It comes in plenty of sizes, some children-specific dimensions, and a range of weights on the low end of the spectrum. Available for a shockingly low price, this blanket is a relatively inexpensive way to dip your toes in the waters of weighted blankets without spending a ton of money on something you’re not sure about yet.<\/p>\n

        The biggest downside about the Waowoo<\/strong> is that it has batting protecting just one side of the bead-filled quilted squares. This means that when you use it with the non-batted side against your body, you can feel all the individual glass beads sitting in little piles. However, used in its intended orientation, comfort is high. Not all the squares are evenly filled, with some of the edges holding up to twice as many beads as many of the middle squares, giving it an overall lighter feeling than many others. We love using this blanket as a top layer on a bed, where it won’t get flipped over to the non-batted side and has an extra layer or two between it and your body to better even out some of its inconsistencies. And for such a low price, it’s hard to beat this simple value. For those sensitive to textured materials, a soft, light-feeling blanket such as the YnM Cotton is worth checking out. <\/p>\n

          Coming in only a small range of throw sizes, the Bearaby Cotton Napper is a little too niche to be our favorite overall blanket, despite scoring highly across the board. This chunky knit napping cover is very soft and cozy feeling. The loose knitting drapes easily across your body, making this blanket feel like it’s hugging you all over. Like all knitted blankets, its weight is more evenly distributed across its area and will never pool in areas like a quilted model. Knitted fairly loosely, the Bearaby stretches quite a bit and allows airflow through the yarn \u2014 great when you want to be cozy but don’t necessarily need a ton of extra warmth.<\/p>\n

          While our 5’4″ tester loved napping under the Bearaby<\/strong>, our 6′ tester found it to be just a little too small for good napping coverage. Since it doesn’t come in larger sizes that are more conducive to bigger bodies or being used on beds, this blanket is best for hanging out on the couch and curling up in a comfy chair. Its small size and loose-knit also let it stretch quite a lot, opening holes between stitching that can be rather drafty in the winter. We really love how soft, weighty, drapey, and generally comfortable the Bearaby is, but it’s overall a rather niche blanket, best for adding coziness to your couch hang-out time during mild weather. For the taller folks, another option we like is the Sivio Sherpa Fleece. A warm fleece option that’s offered in 60 x 80 measurements. <\/p>\n

            The Quility Weighted is one of the only blankets we tested that includes a duvet cover with your purchase. Unlike most duvet covers, this one is micro plush, with a soft, deep velvety feel that’s great against the skin. Despite batting on both sides of the glass beads, this entire blanket is much softer and more flexible than most other quilted models, helping it drape more and hug the body closer. This, in turn, makes it feel heavier than other blankets of the same size and weight. Adding the micro plush duvet cover to that package increases its hug-like heaviness even more, and it does a superb job of keeping body heat in on cold nights. <\/p>\n

            However, this feeling proved to be polarizing among our testers. Some loved the extra weight, the comforting closeness, and the silky plush feeling of the Quility<\/strong>. Others found its extra drape too heavy and constricting-feeling and its micro plush to cling too close, which has the effect of making you feel trapped underneath. Despite having an easily removable cover, the Quility is also not that easy to clean \u2014 the inner blanket must be dry cleaned, and the micro plush duvet cover can’t be put in the dryer. Those things aside, if you want your weighted blanket to keep you warm and hug you back, you just may love this super-soft option. If you’d prefer a lighter-feeling blanket with a less constrictive weight, our top pick Bearaby Cotton Napper is worth considering. <\/p>\n
