Is the Bearaby Tencel blanket cool enough for hot sleepers?

Yes. The open knit and Tencel fibers let air through, so it runs cooler than beaded or quilted blankets. It is one of the most breathable weighted blankets available.

What weight should I choose?

Bearaby recommends roughly 10% of your body weight. A 20 lb blanket suits adults around 180 to 200 lbs; lighter sleepers often do better with 15 lbs.

Can I machine wash it?

Yes, but it needs a large-capacity washer, ideally a front loader, on a gentle cold cycle. Air dry or tumble on low; a 20 lb blanket can strain a small machine.

How is it different from a beaded weighted blanket?

There are no plastic pellets. The weight comes from layers of Tencel fabric, so it drapes evenly, makes no noise and does not bunch up in pockets.

What size bed does the 40 by 64 inch blanket fit?

It covers the top of a full or queen bed without hanging over the sides. For two sleepers, a larger size is usually a better fit.

Bearaby rarely discounts, and only two stores list it new. Watch for seasonal sales at Nordstrom and Bearaby's own site; $349 is near the top of its recent range.
