The blanket is nice and sewn well and no gaps or missed stitches. Nice weight to it, and has recommended weights proportional to sleepers weight. I also got a duvet cover, to keep the blanket itself clean. It doesn’t add too much heat at all, great for those warmer months. I live in San Diego, and it’s mostly on the warm side. All in all a great choice for a weighted blanket. And it’s amazon, if you don’t like it, simply return it. I do most of my returns to a local Kohl’s and it’s as easy as just waiting in line and dropping it off. Done at the longest 1 hour, you will get refunded.
Complete darkness, no blue lights 2hrs prior, meditation, etc.
Then someone told me about weighted blankets and I was like “WHAT IS THIS?”.
After some online research, I found BALOO.
I’m not gonna lie, initially it was the name that caught my attention.
But then what convinced me about purchasing the product was the company’s eco friendly / chemical free ethos, which I feel totally in line with.
I’m 175lbs so I figured the 20lbs blanket would be the best option for me.
Long story short, the first night was such a weird experience.
I’m usually a “dynamic” sleeper, meaning that I move a lot during my sleep, a lot of tossing and turning, and In the morning my bed looks like a battlefield: pillows everywhere and the blankets are wrapped in a gigantic ball.
But with Baloo blanket I had a composed deep and restful sleep, it sort of kept me still and “calm”. The weight relaxed me.
I also exercise quite intensely, lifting weights, swimming, hill sprints and I’m on my feet most of the days running around the city ( NYC ).
I feel the compression of the blanket helps my blood circulation hence my recovery.
After a particularly heavy leg session, and a good 8hrs sleep, I woke up rested and fresh, ready to go again.
So, to conclude, I recommend this product: you can wash it, the weight doesn’t shift, it’s organic, and the material breathes.
It's literally taken me YEARS to create my natural bed. It is not cheap and is a lot healthier and suggest others do the same as our health is contingent on our sleep. Worth every penny and definitely worth the weight! . I highly recommend this brand due to the sustainable and all natural materials and quality . I will probably purchase from their website a throw or something if I can get on discount. Someone else did mention they had shoulder pain with the 20lb blanket so keep that in mind depending how you sleep.

I also purchased Baloo's linen duvet cover, which almost doubles the price of the blanket, but is a good quality cover. This blanket has a nice feel and only insulates a little, so the primary benefits to adding a cover are slightly more warmth and simplified cleaning. Duvet is not necessary.
Original review:
While this blanket is quite comfortable and a good size, it is slowly spilling glass beads everywhere. Each morning there are a few hundred beads on the bed. Hard to tell where they are leaking from or how to fix it, but this tarnishes an otherwise excellent product.

Then I saw a New York Magazine web article "What's the best weighted blanket to gift" - it explains the features of 9 blankets really clearly - Baloo was their favourite and basically what swung it for me is that they said it wasn't noisy - (it isn't noisy) so I went for it.
Full disclosure - I contacted Baloo to thank them for pointing me to Amazon UK for their product and they told me that they donate $5 to a childrens' charity for every posted review - I was going to review anyway - the donation has not changed my impartiality.
So, after 15 sleeps I can report that I am delighted that I bought my blanket - it costs a lot of money, but probably no more than a luxury quilt - I think that it was money well spent.
My sleep quality is better, I sleep longer and if I do wake up in the night, I'm finding it very easy to get back to sleep, when usually, once awake, I stay awake.
And physically I feel more rested - not used to having so much energy when I first get out of bed.
I had wrongly thought that I preferred sleeping under a light duvet - I am much more comfortable under the 20lb Baloo - the weight is spread , so it doesn't feel heavy, just comfy.
Heat retention is interesting - even with the product material cover and a duvet cover - the glass beads are very good heat conductors - caught me out first time - I went to bed feeling cold and when I placed the blanket on me I felt colder, as my body heat was just being conducted away.
Solution - if I'm cold, a summer duvet goes on first, then the weighted blanket.
In the summer I intend to only use the weighted blanket.
It makes no noise.
The beads are retained in quilted pockets, so perfectly even distribution.
Here is a forced negative, which is really just a fact - you can't do the duvet cover inside out trick to cover the blanket - well at least 20lb is too heavy for me to do that - you just have to take your time putting a cover on.
There are ties on the blanket, which you could use keep the blanket in place if a cover had corresponding ties - but I'm not having any issues with the blanket moving inside the cover - even though the blanket is US queen sized and my duvet cover is UK king sized.
Maybe one other thing - I don't set an alarm, as usually I'm awake early - twice now I've overslept - I'm glad I did and I'm looking forward to my next oversleep :)
