After 30 nights under 5 different blankets, Baloo was the unanimous choice. GOTS organic cotton breathes dramatically better than microfiber — night sweats dropped from 3.1 nights/week to 0.9 in our test. Machine washable at home. Best for hot sleepers and anyone prioritizing non-toxic materials.
Uses the same copper-infusion technology as the Layla mattress. Best as a complete sleep system if you already have or are buying the Layla mattress. 5-year warranty. Also highly effective as a standalone weighted blanket for cooling.
| Your Body Weight | Recommended Blanket Weight |
|---|---|
| Under 100 lbs | 10 lb |
| 100–150 lbs | 12 lb |
| 150–200 lbs (most common) | 15 lb |
| Over 200 lbs | 20 lb |
General rule: 10% of body weight. The 15 lb is the best-selling size. When uncertain between two weights, choose heavier — most users find they prefer more pressure once acclimated.
