Hey everyone. So summer is just around the corner where I live and I want to get a weighted blanket for the warmer weather. Some things of note.
1: I currently sleep under 2 or 3 comforters for the weight. 2: I only want about 10-15 pounds (enough weight to feel secure but still be able to move around comfortably) 3: I want a smaller size because I'll be sharing a queen size bed with my husband but won't be sharing the blanket and it drives me bananas when the blanket gets pulled off the side of the bed. 4: We don't have air conditioning, so the more cooling, the better. 5: we have cats and have to use a communal laundry, so it needs to be easy to wash and dry.
I've been sort of looking at the luna bamboo, the YnM bamboo and maybe the Bearby lyocell one. Are any of these good options or would you guys recommend something else.
Thanks so much for your time.
I need a certain level of weight to fall asleep and feel secure but with summer coming I get very hot and my AC window unit can’t keep the room very cold so I’m wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a weighted blanket that’s cooling? It doesn’t have to be very heavy - even 5 pounds I think would work, normally I like sleeping with a quilt and a cotton blanket on top and anything less than that I have trouble sleeping.

So here's the thing, I really want a weighted blanket because I sleep much better with a good amount of weight on me.
The problem is, the weighted blankets are all typically quite hot.. Which is a major problem for me.
I'm currently using a really thin duvet from Walmart that weighs next to nothing. I live in Canada, in the winter with the windows open. I typically have a AC unit in my room running until mid-winter. I have to flip my pillow constantly throughout the night or change it because it gets too hot.
I can't express quite how annoying this is for me because the duvet makes it hard to sleep because it's so thin, but at the same time if I use anything thicker I'll have my AC on blast. And the pillow thing is a whole other problem.
Now that that's out of the weight, are there any weighted blankets / duvets that you recommend are on the colder side of things? Something you would have mid summer?
Tl: Dr, what weighted blanket would you recommend for mid-summer temperature?
I’m looking for a weighted/heavier weight blanket with cooling/not too overheating properties to use at night. Me and heat are not friends but I cannot sleep without the weight of blankets. I’ve got a cooling blanket rn but it’s very light so I have to stack other blankets on top. I’m really hoping to find recommendations for ones that don’t have the beads in them, I’ve had one of those in the past and it just kept leaking and the texture of that was a nightmare, any advice?
My partner hardly ever asks for much and they recently asked for a weighted blanket for Christmas. I’d love to really nail it - looking for one that really is weighted equally across the blanket please! Any help loved an appreciated.
I’ve been using a weighted shoulder pad and have noticed that it helps a lot when I feel overwhelmed sensory wise. There have been a few times where I’ve wished I had a full weighted blanket.
Do weighted blankets that are cooling exist?
The issue is that I’m so sensitive to the heat and as my house has no insulation or central air conditioning, it gets incredibly hot in summer where it’s absolutely unbearable. I have been assessed for Sensory Processing Disorder and my brain is much more sensitive overall.
Im thinking a lightweight and cooling fabric would be helpful. Does this exist? Or any suggestions?
I’m in Australia, thanks!
Like the title says. Considering the Hush cooling blanket 2.0. Would love anyone’s actual experience with this or any other cooling weighted blanket.
I was quite skeptical of weighted blankets when I first learned about them through a friend. I never really had issues with sleeping so it never crossed my mind to try one. However, once I got into grad school, that all changed. Almost everyone on my floor had a weighted blanket and had recommended me to get one as well. Needless to say, I did my research and settled with the Cooling Weighted Blanket from Luxome.
I weigh 145lbs and decided upon the 15lb blanket, which for me, is the perfect weight. They always recommend to get one that is 10% of your body weight which I feel is a good estimate.
The blanket itself is very high quality. The zipper is pretty well hidden and can be found near the tag of the blanket.
I love that one side is minky and plush which feels fuzzy and warm while the other side is made of bamboo and feels relatively cool. I sleep hot most of the time so the bamboo side helps a lot. This is not to say that the blanket doesn't keep you warm when using the bamboo side, but it helps you to not get too hot. The weight is surprising distributed well, so there was not area that felt heavier than another which was nice.
Washing was easy and they tell you to wash it cold with the cover removed from the blanket. This is a must if you don't want to ruin your blanket.
The blanket helps me fall asleep faster, but not instantly as some of my friends suggest. Overall, I have been having better sleep so that's a win in my book.
Now come my complaints. The only complaint I really have is there is no instruction video on how to tie the blanket back into the cover. I unfortunately did not notice how it was tied when I was removing it to wash so I could not replicate it. I did end up managing to create my own knot to tie them in, but the process was tedious. Perhaps an instructional video from Luxome on how to reattach the cover to the blanket would be nice. Or maybe a future idea to make it easier to attach would be interesting to see. Other than that, I find this blanket to be amazing. If this blanket ever goes on sale, I highly recommend buying it for cheaper even though I don't find the price to be unreasonable.
Hope you enjoyed this review!
I’m looking for a weighted blanket for summer that will still keep me cool as I hate sleeping with light blanket when it gets hot. I’ve looked into a lot of popular brands but they’re all way too expensive for my budget, I’d like to avoid beads if I can but I’m open to options.
35 degree summer over here in Australia, have to use thin sheets for the sake of not overheating but having a hard time sleeping with such thin blankets. Are there any good *cooling* weighted blankets available? Not like breathable fabric, like properly cooling blankets because its so hot
I live in Greece, and this is a website here that sells weighted blankets, one is called gravity ice and it might suit your needs!
Get the Google translator though because I couldn't find an English language section. https://www.prosleep.gr/products/gravity-ice

Does anyone have any recommendations for weighted blankets for people that live in hotter climates year round? I'm currently looking at this one but I'm not sure if this is a good product or company. Heard some mixed reviews about Bearaby and Gravity but leaning towards a tree napper. Any help, experiences, or blanket recommendations are appreciated. I noticed a similar post a few days ago and there were some recommendations but I think I'd like to stay away from blankets with beads. I'm hoping the blanket will help with anxiety, insomnia, and other things.
Edit: Don't know if anyone will see this but thanks to those who helped me out and commented! I'm hoping to buy one soon so we'll see what happens :)
Hello, I would like to try one of these and think i should go for a cooling one as I generally get really warm while sleeping. There seems to be an overwhelming number of options to chose from so I am just wondering if anybody had any recommendations? I don't mind spending more money if people think that the pricier models are really worth the extra money. Also since it is getting close to black Friday I can't help but wonder if some of the top brands will have any sales so it might be worth it to wait a few weeks. I appreciate any feedback.
Thanks : )
You probably want to get a woven one vs. one with glass bead filler. The woven type have holes and are more breathable. I own a Silk and Snow, and the quality is very nice. I believe Bearaby is the name of another brand of woven weighted blankets that are also popular.
Hi there, I'm Michelle from Silk & Snow. Our Weighted Blankets are woven with natural cotton, they provide all of the beneficial stress-free comfort of a traditional weighted blanket without pesky glass pellets. Because of it's woven design, it will keep you cool as the blanket is hand knit and the holes are big enough to let in airflow and circulate while you sleep. As mentioned here as well, we do have our Black Friday promotion going on right now so you can get one to try for less. If you have any other questions please let me know I would be happy to assist you.
Personally I love being kinda cold at night when I try and sleep. I feel like I give off a lot of body heat and so does my significant other. Often we resort to just the top sheet or blasting the AC all night. I have just learned about cooling blankets. Does anybody own one? Are you happy with it? Does it work with 2 people? Thanks!!
I can’t sleep. I need a lot of blankets for the weights and now I’m hot and I can’t get comfortable. I’m constantly tossing blankets and adding blankets. I need cooler options that still apply light pressure.
Help 🥱 Thank you!
ETA. I’m on HRT. It’s not night sweats. It’s our furnace plus the location of our bedroom making the room hot. We have fans. I posted here figuring if anyone knew of a not hot blanket it would be someone here since we’re going through it all… 😉😂
I need a king size cooling weighted blanket. I tried the XL weighted blanket from Big Blanket Co and the size was amazing 100x120 but sooo hot!! And I've searched Google for the best cooling weighted blanket and Gravity came up and it's about 90x90 and it has zippers oppose to ties but isn't back in stock until mid May ugh both blankets cost around $250 but size and cooling matter to me
Hi everyone! I am looking into weighted blankets at Gravity. I am debating between their regular weighted blanket vs cooling weighted blanket.
I am not a hot sleeper but I have no air-conditioner in my room for summer months, which leaves me absolutely starving for cold air, so I am considering the cooling one. But...I hate the sleeping bag-like feature it has so now, I'm considering just going with the regular. I really need a comfortable blanket.
I am going back and forth in my head and I genuinely don't know which one to go with..
Does anyone have any experience with either?
EDIT: I am only considering Gravity brand now, because I'm purchasing via my insurance and they are the only weighted blanket brand on there.
Looking for a blanket for my SO, who generally sleeps hot but likes some weight. Because of that, is currently sleeping under 3 blankets at once, which obviously causes him to get hot at night 😅.
Any suggestions for quality blankets/comforters (can be weighted but open to non weighted blankets that are just heavier but do not trap heat) that others have found success with would be super helpful!!
Budget: hope to stay under $200 if possible
I'm looking for the best cooling option around $150. I'm mostly concerned with breathability and how the cover feels against the skin since I don't sleep with sheets. I'd prefer a traditional weighted blanket style over something like the Bearaby Napper, so these are the three options I've narrowed it down to.
Luxome Cooling
Sleep Number True Temp
Luna Bamboo
I'm leaning towards the Luxome since it seems to distribute the beads more evenly and has a variety of cover material options. I wish their full size was available in 20lb though, but they seem to make only one weight per size.
The Sleep Number might have the best fabric for cooling, but multiple reviews mention that it isn't very soft. It is also an odd size and doesn't have any other covers available for more warmth or softness.
The Luna is the most affordable option and is supposed to be pretty soft, but I've read that it might still be too warm for the summer. I definitely sleep better when I stay cool, so that is the primary consideration, followed by the softness of the fabric. Are there any better options I might have missed?
