Is the Bearaby Cotton Weighted Blanket worth $269?

It is worth it if you overheat under beaded blankets and want an even, pellet-free weight. If you mainly want cheap deep pressure, a $60–$100 beaded blanket does the same job for less.

How do I choose between 15, 20 and 25 lb?

A common rule is about 10% of your body weight, so 15 lb suits most adults around 130–170 lb. Go heavier if you want firmer pressure and sleep alone; go lighter if you share it or have mobility limits.

Less hot than most beaded blankets because the open cotton knit lets air through. In a cold room some owners still find the loose weave drafty.

Can I machine wash it?

Yes, Bearaby says the cotton blanket is machine washable, but a 15 lb blanket is bulky. Use a large front-loading machine and air-dry or tumble on low.

Is it good for couples?

A 15 lb blanket is light for two adults sharing; many couples prefer the 20 lb size. The open knit also means the weight is spread across the bed rather than concentrated.

Bearaby knit blankets rarely discount deeply; the best prices usually appear during seasonal sales at department stores. At $269 at Nordstrom as of November 7, 2026, it is near its recent high, so waiting for a sale can pay off.
