Top 7 Weighted Blankets That Helps You Sleep Better At Night & What You Should Know Before Cleaning Them 🛏️

Recently we have been receiving weighted blankets for cleaning 🧼 Here’s something worth finding out before getting one.

What Is a Weighted Blanket? :

Having trouble winding down at night? Or perhaps you've seen those unusually heavy blankets online and wondered what they're actually for?

Weighted blankets have become increasingly popular among people looking for a more comforting and relaxing bedtime experience. Unlike regular blankets, they contain weighted fillings such as glass beads, microglass, steel beads or other materials that add pressure to the blanket. Depending on the size and design, weighted blankets can range from around 2kg to 15kg.

The idea behind a weighted blanket is fairly simple. The gentle pressure across the body can create a hug-like or cocooning feeling, which some people find calming. Research has also explored whether this type of deep-pressure sensation may help reduce anxiety and improve sleep, although everyone's experience can be different.

With weighted blankets becoming more popular, there are now plenty of brands and styles to choose from. Here are some of the brands worth checking out.

The Top 7 Weighted Blankets

1. Gravity Blanket – Best Overall 🌙

Gravity is one of the most established names in the weighted blanket market. It is known for its smooth fabric, even weight distribution and comfortable feel, making it a popular choice for relaxation and bedtime.

One thing to note is that the cover is machine washable, but the weighted blanket itself is hand-wash only, so cleaning the blanket requires extra care.

2. Bearaby Tree Napper – Best Knit 🌿

Bearaby takes a different approach with its knitted weighted blankets. The Tree Napper is made with Tencel lyocell, giving it a breathable, cool-to-the-touch feel that can be particularly appealing to people who tend to sleep warm.

The knitted design also gives it a very different texture and weight distribution compared with traditional weighted blankets. The good news is that the Tree Napper is machine washable, according to its care instructions.

3. Baloo Weighted Comforter – Best for Full Bed Coverage 🛏️

The Baloo Weighted Comforter is designed more like a traditional comforter and comes in larger sizes, including options for full-bed coverage. Its larger design makes it a good choice for people who want the weighted feeling across more of their bed.

However, larger weighted blankets also mean more fabric and weight to handle during cleaning. The Baloo Weighted Comforter itself is machine washable, but its size is still something to consider.

4. Weavve Weighted Blanket – Best Singaporean Brand

Weavve is a Singaporean bedding brand offering weighted blankets in a range of weights and sizes, from 3kg single blankets to heavier king-size options. Its blankets use polyester and lead-free glass beads.

One advantage is that Weavve's weighted blankets are machine washable and dryer-friendly, making them one of the more convenient options for home care.

5. YnM Natural Bamboo Weighted Blanket – Best for Staying Warm 🎋

YnM's weighted blankets use multiple layers of cotton, fibre and glass beads. The featured Singapore model weighs around 6.8kg, giving it a substantial, cosy feel that may suit people who sleep in cooler, air-conditioned rooms.

The heavier weight is worth keeping in mind when it comes to handling and cleaning, especially once the blanket becomes wet.

6. Sunday Bedding Weighted Blanket – Best for Style & Comfort ✨

Sunday Bedding's Weighted Blanket combines functionality with a more premium look. Made from 100% bamboo sateen, its 9kg design is intended to provide a heavier, swaddling-like sensation while fitting naturally into a bedroom setting.

The 9kg weight, however, means it requires more care when handling and cleaning compared with a regular blanket.

7. KOO Elite Weighted Blanket – Best Weight Options 💤

KOO's Elite Weighted Blanket comes in several weight options, ranging from around 3.4kg to 9.07kg, giving users more flexibility when choosing their preferred level of pressure.

With different weights available, choosing the right one can be easier—but the heavier versions can naturally be more challenging to handle when it comes to cleaning.

Q: What Should You Consider Before Cleaning a Weighted Blanket?

This is something many owners may not think about when purchasing one.

Weighted blankets aren't all made the same. Some can be machine washed, some come with removable covers, while others require hand washing or specific cleaning methods.

The care label and manufacturer's instructions should always be checked first before attempting to clean one.

Q: Why Do Some Owners Prefer Professional Cleaning?

Of course, many weighted blanket brands provide their own care instructions, and owners can follow them if they are comfortable cleaning the blanket themselves.

But not everyone wants to deal with the hassle.

We've received enquiries from customers who prefer to have their weighted blankets professionally cleaned because they don't want to risk damaging something that may have cost several hundred dollars.

When you've invested in a good-quality weighted blanket, the last thing you want is to accidentally damage the fabric, filling, stitching or shape.
