Most of the weighted blankets we tested are worth the money, and there are plenty of them. However, these didn’t stand out as much as the options above.
Quince Weighted Knitted Blanket for $150: This open-knit blanket costs less than Bearaby’s, but is of the same quality and uses recycled polyester fill. There’s only one £15 option, and it’s a bit stiffer than what Bearaby offers. I like both models, but if you want a blanket that swooshes, go with Bearaby. (Quince makes some of our favorite blankets.) Available in 15 lbs
Luxome Weighted Blanket for $125+: Luxome makes a couple of my favorite sheets, and I now love their blanket, too. I tried the one-piece blanket with one side made of bamboo lyocell and the other of plush minky fabric, but there are a few options, including some with a separate cover. Lying under the bamboo was extra refreshing in the best way. It comes in an impressive number of weight options. Available in 8, 15, 18 or 25 pounds.
Sleep Number True Temp Weighted Blanket for $200: This blanket comes with a cover that is supposed to stay cool throughout the night, and this was pretty accurate in my experience. I found the polyester material to be fair It’s a little rough so I wouldn’t want to sleep directly under it, but I usually layer a weighted blanket over a sheet and comforter anyway. Available in 12 or 20 pounds.
Luna Sherpa Blanket for $70: We love Luna’s many options listed above, and this sherpa blanket is incredibly soft and heavy enough for its size. It’s also machine washable. Available in 10 lbs
Gravity Basic Blanket for $80: This affordable blanket is one of our all-time favorites, but it hasn’t been available for months. If you can find it, it’s a great option that’s cheaper than the competition but feels just as good. Available in 15 lbs
Gravity weighted blanket for between $250 and $300: The Basics by Gravity is our top pick, because it’s a great blanket at a great price. This original blanket from the brand is also stellar and is available in more weights, sizes, and cute colors, but you’ll have to pay more for it. Available in 15, 20 or 35 pounds.
Thera Weighted Blanket from $28 to $129: This blanket may be the softest thing I’ve ever touched, like I’m petting a furry animal. However, after the first few weeks of using it, it broke apart and let glass beads take over my bed like sand. I think the cats’ claws got the best of it, so keep that in mind and treat it with care. Available in 10, 12 or 15 pounds.
Aricove weighted blanket for between $170 and $290: This is a fantastic cooling blanket for sleeping alone. It’s nice and thin, so you won’t feel trapped or too hot underneath. Available in 10, 12, 15, 17, 20 or 22 pounds.
Casper Weighted Blanket for $169-$189: Casper is another popular bedding brand whose blanket is made from classic, cool cotton rather than knit or terry cloth, which can be hot. It’s blanket-sized and dense enough that even the lightest model gives you that cozy feeling, while the heavier one is like a Thundershirt for humans. Casper also has frequent sales. Available in 10, 15 or 20 pounds.
Layla Weighted Blanket for $199-$239: Our tester loved snuggling up with their partner under the Layla’s oversized king-sized blanket. It has two sides, one cotton and one fleece. Available in 15, 20 or 25 pounds.
Yogibo Calm Antimicrobial Weighted Blanket for $159: The blanket itself is a cool cotton, but the real draw here is the famous cotton-spandex blend that Yogibo uses for its covers. The company says it’s incredibly soft, and they’re not lying. It’s stretchy, soft, and machine washable (the blanket itself is not). However, I did find that pet hair did cling to it, which is common with softer fabrics. Available in 15 lbs
Gravid Weighted Blanket for $176-$240: This blanket comes with either a plush or cooling cover (or both), and this is where it shines. There’s nothing worse than a blanket cover with only a few attachment points, so that after a few minutes under it, the whole thing is twisted and falls to one side. The Gravid’s cover attaches with a zipper that runs the entire length of the blanket. I don’t understand why other brands don’t do this. Available in 15 or 20 pounds.
