Our weighted blankets for adults come in two versions – the Tree Napper and the Cotton Napper – and are available in 15 lb, 20 lb, and 25 lb weight categories. Each Napper also comes in five blissfully beautiful colors.

Tencel – the fabric used to make our ultra-cool Tree Napper – is made in a zero-waste, closed-loop process that uses ten times less water than most other textile production methods, and it’s biodegradable on land and in water. Responsible, sustainable, planet-hugging manufacturing at its best!

We made this a little easier by rounding up our top weighted blankets, for adults and kids, and the reasons we recommend each of these comfy naptime companions.

Before we find out which ones are best, let’s look at what a weighted blanket is.
What Is A Weighted Blanket?
A weighted blanket is a therapeutic blanket that can help improve sleep, ease anxiety, and relieve stress.
Conventional weighted blankets contain fillers, like pellets or beads, sewn into the blanket fabric to make it heavy. Our weighted blankets defy convention: they’re filler-free! We use nothing but layers of natural, breathable fabric and a chunky-knit design to bring you the best weighted blankets for deeper sleep.
Bearaby’s Best Weighted Blankets For Adults
What is the best weighted blanket for grownups? Well, we think our Nappers are top-notch but don’t just take our word for it! The experts over at SleepFoundation agree that we make the best weighted blanket.
Our Napper also rests at the top of Tuck’s best weighted blanket list. Tuck is one of the most reputed sleep product sites and we’re over the moon our Napper made the cut as the editor’s pick!
Let’s uncover why both our weighted blankets for adults are top-notch choices.
The Tree Napper
The Tree Napper is our top-rated weighted blanket for sweaty sleepers. It’s a cooling weighted blanket made from Tencel – a soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking textile made from Eucalyptus wood pulp. This natural, eco-friendly fabric is more absorbent than cotton, softer than silk, and cooler than linen.
Other expert weighted blanket reviews seem to agree with Tuck’s choice. So, what exactly is it about the Tree Napper that makes it so cool?
The Tree Napper is a cooling weighted blanket made from Tencel – a soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking textile made from Eucalyptus wood pulp. This natural, eco-friendly fabric is more absorbent than cotton, softer than silk, and cooler than linen.
Our Tree Napper combines cool fabric with a knitted, naturally airy design and is the ideal weighted blanket for sweat-free, deep sleep all throughout the summer.
Inspired by the hues of a lush garden, our summer collection of Tree Nappers lets you embrace nature as you drift off to cooler, calmer sleep. Our coolest weighted blanket is available in five colorways: Rosemary, Pomegranate, Almond, Dayflower, Amber, and Elderberry.
Rosemary
Grounded in the cherished memories this aromatic herb often brings, the Tree Napper in Rosemary will inspire you to open the window and let your thoughts wander off to wonderful places where the scent of wild rosemary fills the air.
Pomegranate
The beautifully bold Pomegranate Tree Napper is perfect for cocooning on the couch. It adds a joyful pop of color while bringing calm and tranquility at nap- and bedtime.
Almond
Inspired by the earthy tones of rolling dunes, this low-key Almond shade is a nutty Napper that ushers you towards the inner calm of a walk along the beach.
Dayflower
Laze on a bed of wildflowers with our Dayflower Tree Napper. The serene powder blue hue enhances the cool softness of this silky, breathable Napper, bringing to mind rustic country gardens and breezy picnics on balmy summer days.
Amber
Inspired by the fire-colored resin of ancient trees, our Amber Tree Napper is pure sunshine knitted into a soft, cooling blanket. This vibrant yellow-orange hue brings positive energy and serenity for calming comfort on warmer nights.
Elderberry
Our dusky pink Elderberry Tree Napper takes its name from the frothy flowers of the elderberry plant. This rich but soft purple-pink evokes peaceful, sun-drenched meadows, while you drift away in the breezy embrace of our cool, silky-soft yarn.
Once you’ve picked your favorite Tree Napper color, you’ll need to determine the best weighted blanket weight.
Weighted Blanket Weight Chart
The ideal weighted blanket weight is roughly 10% of your body weight, but going a little heavier is entirely safe and sometimes even recommended. The Tree Napper comes in 15, 20, and 25 lb weighted blanket options.

The Cotton Napper
The Cotton Napper is one of the best weighted blankets for anxiety and improving sleep, and also comes in 15, 20, and 25 lb weight categories.
The Cotton Napper is a knitted weighted blanket made heavy with nothing but layer upon layer of organic cotton. It gently and evenly distributes weight across your body, mimicking the effects of a full-body hug, and flushing your brain with the happy hormone serotonin. At the same time, it curbs high levels of cortisol – a necessary stress hormone, but when it runs rife, we become high-strung and stressed out.
Another useful side-effect of sleeping under weight is that your body makes more sleepy hormones, known as melatonin. Like we respond to the comfortable pressure of a deep tissue massage, cuddling under a Napper makes you naturally sleepy.
Cotton Napper Color Options
The cozy Cotton Napper comes in five classy shades, all-year-round. Pick your favorite from this classic color palette and let the Napper transform your bed, or couch, into a sanctuary of deeper sleep.
How Do Weighted Blankets Affect The Environment?
Another reason our Nappers deserve a spot on the best weighted blanket list is because they help rid the planet of plastic-filled synthetic blankets. Breathable and cooling by design, both the Cotton and the Tree Napper are completely filler-free and made heavy with nothing but natural plant-based fabric.
Our weighted blankets bring better rest to tired minds and bodies but takes good care of the planet too.
The Best Weighted Blanket For Kids?
Parents, meet the Nappling: a weighted blanket made especially for kids. It brings the comforting calm of a cuddle, bundled in a beautiful kid-sized blanket.
Using the same hand-knit weaves, evenly-distributed weight, organic cotton, and a playful color combination of our adult-sized Cotton Napper, we’ve designed a smaller, lighter version ideal for kids.
It’s made from 100% organic cotton so you won’t have to worry about any harmful artificial fillers; simply enjoy the peace of mind that your little one is getting great rest under an all-natural weighted blanket made especially for kids.
