It’s available in two different weights and comes in grey. The beads are made from glass and, while not necessary for use, there’s a removable 100% cotton cover you can add for hygiene purposes.

We didn’t like: While it’s a definite plus that the cover can be removed for washing, the corner ties that attach it to the weighted blanket were a little fiddly. It took me a couple of attempts and about 15 minutes to get the cover on properly, which might get tedious if you want to wash it on the reg. The lowdown: First up!

You can choose between two weights. Using the “10% rule,” we recommend the 10-pound blanket if you weigh 80 to 120 pounds, and the 15-pound blanket if you weigh 130 to 180 pounds. The blanket is also available in two colors, cream and gray.Customers are saying: Customers say that it’s super soft and comfortable, and that it’s really helped improve their sleep.
