Weighted blankets are much more than just a bedding accessory. They make you feel like you’re being wrapped in a cozy cocoon, and are known to have very soothing effects while one is asleep. These blankets contain pellets, metal wiring, or ball bearing to distribute the weight evenly for the person that lies underneath them. Most of them weigh 10 pounds or more and come in wide ranges and types. Here are the top weighted blankets to buy:

Gravity Blanket
Embedded with a ‘deep touch pressure stimulation,’ Gravity Blankets are well-known to be therapeutic and improve sleep. They come in three varieties – 15, 20, and 25 pounds, and the company recommends ordering one, which is 10% of your body weight. Like most weighted blankets, this one is made of breathable fabric.

Bearaby Tencel™ Blanket
This one looks more like an elegant throw over than a weighted blanket. One of the best parts about this blanket is that it does not contain any glass beads or chunky metal wire, which are movable. Its weight is evenly distributed, and it is also sustainably sourced. They come in a wide variety of colors and are advertised as ‘softer than silk and cooler than linen.’

Baloo Cool Cotton Weighted Blanket
For all the hot sleepers, this one is a good option for you to invest in. Since Baloo weighted blankets are made of cotton, they won’t trap in excess heat, and they make breathing easy. They are available in queen or full size with 15 or 20 lbs choices. The blanket is filled with tiny beads that do not make any noise when they move, unlike other blankets.

YNM Weighted Blanket
This blanket has great reviews online and is quite inexpensive compared to other blankets. They contain evenly-distributed glass beads as weights, which calms the body for a peaceful sleep. YNM recommends buying a matching duvet with it for easy cleaning; this is a great idea. There is a variety of colors and sizes right from 7 to 30 lbs.

Sunday Citizen Super Soft Personal Weighted Blanket
Along with the usual glass pearls found in most weighted blankets, this one also contains little amethyst and quartz. The company claims that the minerals have calming and stress-relieving properties, which help in getting a night of restful sleep. This weighted blanket is machine-washable and comes in two varieties – 15 and 20 pounds.

Good Knight Weighted Blanket
This blanket is perfect for those who are allergic to certain things. Their blankets are made of 100% premium cotton material filled with tiny non-toxic poly-pellets. They come in a big size and two varieties – 15 and 17 pounds. Its dark gray color will match almost any furniture.
