Baloo Living 15 lb Weighted Blanket (Queen)
Best for: Hot sleepers, sustainable buyers, premium buyers
The cooling-focused premium weighted blanket — 100% cotton throughout, lead-free glass beads, and OEKO-TEX certified, per Baloo.
Baloo Living targets hot sleepers who still want the pressure benefit. Cotton shell and lining (no polyester, per Baloo) + lead-free glass beads. It costs more than the Gravity, so the cooling story has to carry that premium. Available cover ($40) is machine-washable. Best for hot sleepers who reject bad Bearaby experience and don't want cheap YnM feel.

Frequently asked questions
Baloo vs Bearaby for cooling?
Both target hot sleepers, but different approaches. Bearaby knit blanket has open gaps for maximum breathability. Baloo uses cotton shell + traditional beads. Bearaby runs slightly cooler but Baloo has better weight distribution. Roughly tied on temperature.
Is Baloo worth about $218?
For hot sleepers, the cotton build is the reason to pay more. For temperature-neutral sleepers, YnM does the job for less.
Baloo vs Gravity?
Baloo runs cooler (100% cotton vs Gravity's polyester blend). Gravity has better customer service. Baloo costs more than Gravity. Choose Baloo if its cooler cotton construction is worth the difference.
Are the glass beads really lead-free?
Yes — Baloo publishes third-party heavy-metal testing results. Rare in the weighted blanket space. Worth noting if you have chemical sensitivity or are sourcing for children.
