The best-known weighted blanket brand: Tom's Guide's best for comfort and a Wirecutter favorite for its plush cover and balanced feel. But the inner blanket can only be hand-washed, it runs warm, there are few weight options and no warranty.
Top complaints
- Inner blanket is hand-wash only
Only the cover is machine-washable; Tom's Guide says the blanket must be hand-washed and air-dried, and Wirecutter notes it isn't machine-washable.
Source: Tom's Guide, Wirecutter - Runs warm
Tom's Guide says it works best in colder months and suggests hot sleepers look elsewhere; Amazon owners disagree, with some finding it unbearably hot.
- No warranty, limited weights
Tom's Guide notes only a 30-day return policy and no warranty, plus limited weight and size options; Wirecutter says buyers pay return shipping. Some Amazon owners find it too heavy.
What owners love
- Plush, hug-like feel
Tom's Guide's reviewer likened it to a gigantic bear hug, and more than half of Wirecutter's testers gravitated to its soft cover and balanced feel.
Source: Tom's Guide, Wirecutter - Well-built, even weight
Gridded stitching spreads the glass beads evenly (Tom's Guide); Wirecutter found tidy stitching and a button-tie-and-zipper system that stops it bunching in the cover.
Source: Tom's Guide, Wirecutter - Lower price than before
Tom's Guide reports the list price dropped from $250 to $149.
