Ranked #4 in Best Weighted Blankets

Eli and Elm Weighted Comforter and Blanket

4.2

4 sources2 derived$196as of Aug 1

The Eli and Elm Weighted Comforter uses 300-thread count sateen cotton over an evenly distributed glass bead fill. Reviewers described calming pressure therapy that never feels restrictive, which they found suited to anxiety or ADHD. It comes in 13lb, 17lb, and 20lb versions; the 17lb queen was the size reviewed. Quality and comfort earned praise, but reviewers also called it pricey and criticized the lack of color options. It works for anyone who doesn't mind a white comforter, or who is willing to buy a duvet cover separately.

Strengths

— High-quality 300-thread count cotton fabric that feels luxurious
— Even weight distribution thanks to quilted pockets with micro glass beads
— Duvet loops allow for easy customization with duvet covers

Watch-outs

— Expensive at $330 (or $264 on sale)
— Only available in white color option

YnM Weighted Blanket

4.7

3 sources$67.9as of Aug 1

The YnM weighted blanket spreads its glass microbeads across 2-inch square pockets, which keeps the weight even. Reviewers liked the soft cotton exterior and the cover ties that hold everything in place, though some found it too warm to use year-round. The dual-sided cover comes in minky and bamboo lyocell, giving some choice in feel, but the concealed zip is fiddly. Cold sleepers and anyone in a cooler climate will get on with it; hot sleepers and warm bedrooms are a poor match.

Strengths

— 2-inch square pockets create even weight distribution
— Good quality cotton exterior feels soft to touch
— The glass microbeads don't rattle or group in corners

Watch-outs

— May be too warm for some people
— The tiny zip to seal the cover is fiddly

How they stack up

Eli and Elm Weighted Comforter and Blanket

The Eli and Elm Weighted Comforter's 300-thread count sateen cotton and quilted pockets with micro glass beads offer a luxurious feel that surpasses the basic Gravity and Casper Weighted Blankets. While the Luxome Cooling Weighted Blanket provides cooling, Eli and Elm's duvet loop design allows for customization, unlike the more straightforward designs of the YnM or Baloo models.

YnM Weighted Blanket

The two-inch bead pockets are smaller than most rivals use, which is why the weight stays evenly spread rather than pooling the way it can in the Baloo and Luxome blankets. Against the Casper and Bearaby options it is far cheaper and it is machine washable, but the cover zip and the tie stitching are plainly less refined, and nothing in the cotton-and-fiberfill construction is built to run cool.
