Bearaby Weighted Blanket Review Breakdown

In recent years, chunky knit blankets have gotten more and more attention for their distinctive, cozy look. The Bearaby Weighted Blanket embraces that trend but infuses it with added function. Not only is the blanket heavy to provide soothing comfort, but it is also more breathable than the vast majority of weighted blankets, so it may be especially comfortable for hot sleepers.

While most weighted blankets get their heaviness from fill encased inside a fabric shell, the Cotton Napper is made up exclusively of thick cotton/spandex yarn. Since the cotton is natural, organic, and sourced ethically and sustainably, eco-conscious shoppers may prefer it to other blankets. These materials are also high-quality and durable, so those looking for a blanket they can continue to use for years to come might also gravitate towards the Cotton Napper.

Overall, the Bearaby Weighted Blanket is an excellent option for shoppers concerned with style, breathability, quality, and durability.

Materials and Options

Bearaby’s size options vary between its models. The Cotton Napper and the Tree Napper are sized for one person, ranging between approximately twin size and nearly full size depending on the weight you select. The Bearaby Hugger comes in a queen size only. Since the Nappling is built for children, it is the company’s smallest blanket option.

The Cotton Napper, the Tree Napper, the Nappling, and the Velvet Napper all come in several color options, while the Hugger is available in two colors: moonstone grey or asteroid grey.

Pricing Information

Weighted blankets typically cost between $100 and $300, and most of Bearaby’s options fall into this price range. The Cotton Napper and Tree Napper come with identical price tags, while the Nappling is less expensive. The Hugger is the heaviest and most expensive Beareaby blanket.

Price differences between weighted blankets typically occur due to variations in materials, size, and weight, and the same holds true in Bearaby’s product line. The brand’s larger and heavier blankets cost more than its smaller and lighter options because they use more materials. Since all of the models use at least some organic cotton, Bearaby blankets are on the higher end of the average price range because high-quality materials like this cost the manufacturer more.

Whether or not a more expensive blanket is worth it will depend on your personal preferences. Eco-conscious shoppers may be happy to pay more for sustainable, organic materials. Similarly, it could be a better long-term investment to buy a quality weighted blanket you can use for years to come than to purchase a lower-priced option that may wear out more quickly.

Weighted Blanket Performance Ratings

Various performance factors can influence which weighted blanket is best for you. Depending on your personal preferences, key criteria to consider may include material quality, temperature regulation, weight options, fill distribution, and durability.

The Cotton Napper earns strong marks in all our categories and truly exceptional scores for several performance factors. Its organic cotton yarn is high quality and durable, and the knit construction allows for excellent air circulation to reduce the likelihood of excessive heat retention. As the Cotton Napper is a knit rather than a shell with fill, the weight should also remain evenly distributed throughout the life of the blanket.

Its weakest rating is for weight options, but at least one of the three choices should accommodate most sleepers regardless of their body types. Shoppers should also be aware that the open-knit design does not insulate to the same extent as many weighted blankets, so it may not be ideal for those looking for added warmth. However, sleepers could pair the Cotton Napper with another blanket to stay toasty on cold nights.

We’ll walk through our ratings for the Cotton Napper. As Bearaby’s weighted blankets share similar materials and construction techniques, the performance should also be similar between models.

How Heavy Should My Weighted Blanket Be?

The conventional wisdom is that a weighted blanket should be around 10 percent of the sleeper’s body weight, give or take. Personal preferences may vary, however, with some liking a lighter option so that they can move around more easily and others favoring a heavier blanket for extra hug.

Four weight options are available for the Cotton Napper: 10 pounds, 15 pounds, 20 pounds, and 25 pounds. If you’re unsure of which of these options is best for you, Bearaby has a quick three-question quiz to help you decide. The Tree Napper is available in a similar range of 15, 20, or 25 pounds.

The Hugger is exclusively sold in a queen size design that weighs 35 pounds.

At 6 or 8 pounds, the Nappling may be better suited for children and those looking for light pressure. If you’re considering a weighted blanket for your child, you should also pay attention to safety. The blanket shouldn’t be too heavy or restrictive, and the child should be able to remove it themselves. Experts do not typically recommend weighted blankets for children under two because they could present safety concerns.
