How they stack up

Baloo Weighted Blanket

The Baloo Weighted Blanket's chemical-free, 100% natural cotton construction differentiates it from the Luxome and YnM models that use glass microbeads. While the Bearaby Tree Napper offers organic cotton, Baloo's lead-free glass beads and eco-friendly approach make it a better choice for those concerned about toxins, unlike the more basic Gravity Weighted Blanket.

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.
