The 16 Best Weighted Blankets to Keep You Calm

"Gravity blanket" is often synonymous with weighted blanket since the brand made the category more mainstream. It has everything you need for a good weighted blanket: Grid-like stitching to help keep the glass beads in place, a cozy microfleece cover that's machine washable, and secure buttons and ties to make sure the blanket stays put in the cover.

Consider Saatva's weighted blanket a great pick if you prefer a natural fiber. The fabric is a soft and cozy cotton velvet that's filled with glass beads to provide an even pressure throughout, while the diamond quilting offers an elevated look. On top of that, the materials are made at Fair Trade Certified factories so you know they're ethically sourced.

Why sacrifice your design scheme for comfort? Brooklinen's weighted throw blanket comes in rich colors like emerald and terracotta, and will look great draped across your sofa. It's not just eye candy, though: Made from a breathable cotton and filled with eco-friendly glass beads, it's ultra comfy.  

Designed to weigh around 10% of your total body weight, this blanket is available in seven different weights. The quilted fabric is also super breathable, so you feel comfortable without overheating—and the best part? It's machine-washable, as long as you use the gentlest setting. No wonder it has nearly 22,000 reviews on Amazon. 

If you're in need of a weighted blanket with a little more fluffy volume, this is your solution. Brooklinen's weighted comforter assures the superior quality and comfort of the rest of Brooklinen's award-winning and bestselling linens with the added benefits of the deep pressure therapy weight brings to anxiety-riddled sleep. 

Not sure where to start? You can't go wrong with this ZonLi cotton weighted blanket. It costs less than others because it doesn't come with an extra removable cover. It's also an Amazon bestseller with thousands of five-star reviews. Plus, it comes in a variety of sizes and colors to help you find the one best suited for you.

As a general rule of thumb, a blanket should be about 10 percent of a person's total bodyweight. However, if you're looking for an option that packs on some extra pressure, check out this hefty style from Slumber Cloud. Clocking in at 20 pounds, this option will feel substantial against your body, not suffocating. Plus, this option is made with a breathable cotton so you can use it on warm night without burning  up. 

A silky quilted outer, and size and weight options make Weighted Idea’s blanket a winner for the taller- or smaller-than-average user. Three versions, ranging from 41” x 60” to 60” x 80”, take into account the proper distribution of the 10 percent weight rule across all heights and proportions. 

If the hefty price tag that comes with most weighted blankets is a turn-off, consider YnM's slightly less expensive option that more than 13,000 Amazon reviewers swear by. Like its pricier counterparts, YnM's blanket has glass beads sewn into place so that they don't shift if you switch positions through out the night. The blanket is available within a range of 5-30 lbs and is available in plenty of colors and sizes.

Does the idea of a weighted blanket in the summer is insane to you? Well, you need to check out this Degrees of Comfort model. It comes with two duvet covers that you can swap based on the season. The fleece will keep you warm in the winter, while the CoolMax Microfiber technology duvet will ventilate heat away from your body in the summer. 

It's a favorite among Instagram influencers, but we love this version in particular for its cooling capabilities: It comes with a cover that instantly feels cool to the touch, making it perfect for hot sleepers who want the benefits of a weighted blanket. The outer cover is also safe to put in the washer and dryer. It's available at 15 or 20 pounds and comes in a white frost color.

Just because a weighted blanket serves a straightforward purpose—you know, to keep you relaxed—doesn't mean it can't look good,  too. If you're looking for  a weighted blanket that's just as pretty as it is practical, check out this option from Luna. The magic behind this one lies in its versatility. In addition to a handful of sizes and weights, it's also available in several colors and prints. Whether you want bold solid, stripes, or subtle polka dots, you're bound to find an option to complement your space. 

This one's unique thanks to its clever reversible design: One side has a cotton fabric that feels like a traditional bed sheet, while the other side is a cozy fleece that feels more like a throw blanket. And while most weighted blankets come with a cover because they're not washable, this entire blanket can be machine washed. Layla also offers a free 120-night return period, so you can get your money back even if you've used it and don't love it.

Made from a faux-fur polyester material using eco-friendly dyeing standards, this is one purchase you can feel good about making. This weighted blanked is elegant and warm, and despite its upscale appearance is surprisingly low-maintenance: Simply toss it in the washing machine to clean. 

Turns out, one of the buzziest bedding brands also makes a great weighted blanket. Pick from three weights (pro tip: your ideal size is 10% of your body weight) and choose from trendy colors like millennial pink and burnt orange. Casper's design uses beads that are sewn into individual patches to minimize motion if you toss and turn while you sleep.  

If you get travel anxiety, this portable pick is a smart buy. It comes with handles that easy attach to any size suitcase, so you can bring it with your carry-on for long haul flights.
