Wirecutter's budget knit pick: a Target house brand that testers could hardly tell apart from the much pricier Bearaby, with easy washing and a 365-day return window. It comes only in 12 pounds and one size, and its polyester blend is less breathable than all-cotton knits.

Top complaints

  • One size, one weight

    Only 12 pounds and 50 by 70 inches, so not for people who want a lot of pressure (Wirecutter).

  • Polyester blend is warmer

    At 80% polyester and 20% cotton it may not suit hot sleepers, though the loose knit may help (Wirecutter).

What owners love

  • Looks and feels premium

    Soft and sleek with an almost handmade look; Wirecutter had trouble telling it from the Bearaby, and it had no overwhelming synthetic smell.

  • Easy to wash

    Washed on a light cycle, weighed a manageable 18 pounds wet, and air-dried quickly laid flat (Wirecutter).

  • Even weight, generous returns

    Very balanced weight like the Bearaby, and Target's 365-day return policy (Wirecutter).
