The short answer

Ranked #2 in Best Weighted Blankets

Luxome Cooling Weighted Blanket

4.4

4 sources$165as of Aug 1

Luxome builds its Cooling Weighted Blanket from 100% bamboo viscose, fabric and fill both, and the material regulates temperature naturally to keep sleepers cool. Mattress Clarity reviewers described it as soft and light enough to use year-round. It's machine washable, and the sateen weave gives it a luxurious hand. Care instructions warn that minor wrinkling and shrinkage may occur with washing. Hot sleepers who want a cooling alternative to a traditional weighted blanket are the audience, though the reviews don't spell out how the weight is distributed.

Strengths

— 100% bamboo viscose fabric and fill for naturally thermal-regulating properties
— Supremely soft high thread count sateen weave
— Machine washable with easy care instructions

Watch-outs

— May experience minor wrinkling and shrinkage with washing
— Limited published detail on fill distribution or total fill weight

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

Luxome Cooling Weighted Blanket

The Luxome Cooling Weighted Blanket's bamboo viscose fabric sets it apart from the Baloo and YnM models, which use different materials for breathability. While the Bearaby Tree Napper offers organic cotton, Luxome's cooling properties make it superior for hot sleepers compared to the heavier Casper Weighted Blanket, which may not suit warm environments.

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.
