How do I pick the right weight?

Bearaby suggests about 10% of your body weight. If you are between sizes, go up rather than down, since the knit compresses slightly with use.

Is it too hot for summer?

The cotton knit is open and airy, and owners commonly report it sleeps cooler than bead-filled blankets. It is designed for year-round use.

There is no removable cover, so the whole blanket goes in a large front-loading machine on a gentle cycle, then air dries. The cotton dust bag is meant for storage or travel.

Does it have beads or pellets inside?

No. The weight comes entirely from densely knitted organic cotton loops, so there is no filler to shift or rustle.

How does it compare with a glass-bead weighted blanket?

The Napper breathes better and is silent, but bead blankets usually have removable, washable covers and come in more weight options.

What comes in the box?

The blanket and a natural cotton dust bag for storage, washing or travel.

4.8 / 53,042 ratings

Owners rate it highly, praising the soft, breathable knit and the even, quiet weight. Many say it helps them fall asleep faster and wake less, and that it does not overheat like bead-filled blankets. Complaints center on the initial smell and lint, the fixed weight, and the heft of the heavier sizes.
