Quick answer: If you want a bead-free, 100% cotton knit weighted blanket with more coverage at 15 lb and 20 lb and no return processing fee, BloomKnit™ by Blanket & Bloom is the strongest fit. If certified organic cotton or a 10 lb or 25 lb weight matters most, choose Bearaby Cotton Napper. If you prefer the traditional bead-filled format, a weighted inner inside a removable cover, choose Gravity Original.
You don't want another expensive thing on the floor by 2 a.m.
That is the honest version of what most people are shopping for. Not "deeper sleep" in the abstract. Not a hormone. A blanket heavy enough to feel like something, breathable enough to stay on, wide enough to still be covering you when you turn over, and washable without a project.
There is a number that Bearaby does not print next to ours, and Gravity would rather you did not ask about. At 15 pounds, BloomKnit™ is five inches wider than Bearaby's Cotton Napper. Same weight, same idea of a hand-knit cotton blanket with nothing but cotton inside. Five more inches across your shoulders, because we decided a weighted blanket should still be on you when you roll over.
Three brands come up constantly when people search for a weighted blanket. This is what actually separates them: the specifications each brand publishes, put side by side for the first time, with the return fees they hope you skip. We sell BloomKnit™, so read this knowing where it comes from. Every competitor claim is linked to that competitor's own page.
Key takeaways
- Most coverage at 15 lb among cotton knits: BloomKnit™ at 45" x 72", versus Bearaby Cotton Napper at 40" x 72"

- People who prefer the classic bead-filled weighted blanket with a smooth, plush surface
- People who want a removable cover they can machine wash on its own.
How we evaluated these blankets
This comparison is based on the published specifications, care instructions, return policies and prices on each brand's own website, checked on September 2, 2026, and on peer-reviewed research about weighted blankets as a category.
We did not receive products or payment from Bearaby or Gravity. We did not run laboratory tests, and dimensions are the manufacturers' listed figures rather than our measurements of samples side by side. All three products are handmade or partly handmade, so individual pieces vary. Where a competitor is stronger, we say so directly, and there are several places below where it is.
We compare three specific models, BloomKnit™, Gravity Original and Bearaby Cotton Napper, and name any other model when it matters. We do not treat one model's features as facts about a whole brand.
The comparison at a glance
At the same listed weight, BloomKnit™ is three to five inches wider than Bearaby Cotton Napper and costs less at 15 lb, while Gravity Original is the only option with a removable cover and has the lowest price of the three.
| BloomKnit™ | Bearaby Cotton Napper | Gravity Original | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where the weight comes from | The cotton knit itself | The cotton knit itself | Fine glass beads in a quilted grid |
| Format | One piece, open chunky knit | One piece, open chunky knit | Two pieces: weighted inner plus removable cover |
| Fiber | 100% cotton, inside and out | 100% organic cotton, inside and out | Micro-plush or cotton-velvet cover, glass-bead inner |
| Adult weights | 15 lb, 20 lb | 10, 15, 20, 25 lb | 15, 20, 25 lb, plus 35 lb Queen/King |
| Listed size at 15 lb | 45" x 72" | 40" x 72" | 48" x 72" |
| Listed size at 20 lb | 48" x 72" | 45" x 72" | 48" x 72" |
| Construction for hot sleepers | Open-knit structure | Open-knit structure | Sealed inner; separate cooling-cover model available |
| Washing | Whole blanket, cold, in the supplied cotton bag | Whole blanket, cold, delicate cycle | Cover in the machine; inner by hand |
| Return processing fee | None | $19.99 per Napper at 15, 20 or 25 lb | See their current policy |
| Price at 15 lb | $249 | $269, on sale $242 | $149, marked from $199 |
| Price at 20 lb | $299 | Confirm on their page | $149, marked from $199 |
| Colourways | Six | Varies by weight | Three |
Read the price row carefully. All three brands price by weight, and a headline "from" price is always the lightest variant. Bearaby's widely quoted $199 is the 10 lb Cotton Napper. Their 15 lb is $269 before sale. Gravity prices the Original as one size across 15, 20 and 25 lb. Click through to the weight you actually want before deciding which brand is the expensive one.
A note on Gravity's size. Gravity's product page lists 15 lb at 40" x 72" in its Specs panel, then states 48" x 72" for all adult weights in the FAQ below it and again on its support page. We have used 48" x 72" since two of three sources agree. Confirm with Gravity before ordering if size is your deciding factor.
What is BloomKnit™, and what was it built to fix?
Every weighted blanket claims calm. Ours was designed around the four reasons people stop using the one they already own.
It slid off. Personal-size weighted blankets are narrow by design, and the most common complaint is an edge that keeps escaping off a shoulder or hip. We sized BloomKnit at 45" x 72" for 15 lb and 48" x 72" for 20 lb, which at 15 lb is the widest cotton knit in this comparison.
It was hot. Bead-filled blankets hold their weight in sealed, quilted pockets between layers of fabric. BloomKnit is an open chunky knit with gaps you can see through, so air moves through the blanket rather than collecting under it. That is a description of the construction, not a temperature promise, and it is exactly why hot sleepers are who we built it for.
It was a chore to wash. BloomKnit is one piece. No inner to unzip, no cover to feed back on, no part with different rules from the other part. Machine wash cold in the cotton wash bag it ships with, dry flat or tumble low, done.
It got hidden when guests came. A weighted blanket is furniture as much as bedding. BloomKnit comes in six colourways, Slate, Midnight Ash™, Lilac Veil™, Pure White, Warm Sand™ and Cloudstone™, and arrives folded in a reusable cotton muslin bag. See all six BloomKnit™ colours. It is made to stay out on the bed or the arm of the sofa, not to live in a closet.
Pure cotton inside and out. No glass beads, no plastic pellets, no synthetic fillers. OEKO-TEX® certified cotton, tested for harmful substances. Hand-knit. Designed in New York.
BloomKnit™ vs Bearaby: is Bearaby worth the money?
Yes, for two kinds of buyer: the one who needs certified organic cotton, and the one who wants a 10 lb or 25 lb weight. For everyone else shopping at 15 or 20 lb, the numbers below are worth a careful look before you pay the Bearaby price.
Bearaby deserves credit. Their Cotton Napper is also a hand-knit cotton blanket weighted by the knit itself, with no beads or pellets, and their page describes it as 100% organic cotton. If you have seen a chunky-knit weighted blanket before, it was probably theirs. We are not going to pretend the concept is ours alone.
What we will do is show you the number they do not put next to ours.
The matched-weight size comparison
| Listed weight | BloomKnit™ | Bearaby Cotton Napper | BloomKnit advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 lb | 45" x 72" | 40" x 72" | 5 inches wider, 12.5% more blanket |
| 20 lb | 48" x 72" | 45" x 72" | 3 inches wider, about 6.7% more |
Both figures come from the brands' own published specifications, checked September 2, 2026.
Put simply: our 15 lb is the same width as their 20 lb. If you have been looking at the heavier Napper only because the lighter one felt narrow, that is a five-pound decision you no longer have to make. You can have the weight you actually wanted and the coverage you actually needed in the same blanket.
To be precise about what this does and does not mean. The extra width is total width, roughly two and a half inches per side at 15 lb. More width does not mean more pressure or better sleep. It means the blanket is more likely to still be on you at 3 a.m., which for a lot of people is the whole reason they are shopping.
And it costs less
At 15 lb, BloomKnit is $249. Bearaby's 15 lb Cotton Napper is listed at $269, currently marked down to $242 for a sale. So at list price you get five more inches of cotton knit for twenty dollars less. During their sale you pay seven dollars more for it. Either way, the "premium" knit in this pairing is not the one you might have assumed.
And returning it costs nothing
Both brands offer free return shipping in the contiguous US. Only one of them charges you to take the blanket back. Bearaby's returns page lists a $19.99 processing fee per item on 15, 20 and 25 lb Nappers. Blanket & Bloom charges no processing fee and no restocking fee on eligible returns. Full terms are on our refund policy.
Where Bearaby is the right call
If organic is non-negotiable, Bearaby has it and we do not. Their Cotton Napper is described as OCS-certified organic cotton with an OEKO-TEX MADE IN GREEN certificate number on the page. BloomKnit's cotton is OEKO-TEX certified for harmful substances, which is a different certification, and we will not blur the two.
If you need 10 lb or 25 lb, Bearaby makes it and we do not. We make 15 and 20 because that range covers most adults, but if you fall outside it, do not force the fit.
One clarification: Bearaby's Tree Napper is a different product from the Cotton Napper, built around TENCEL™. Finding a blend on one page tells you nothing about the other.
BloomKnit™ vs Gravity: is a weighted blanket without beads better?
Not universally, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling one. A bead-free knit and a bead-filled blanket are different objects that happen to weigh the same. The knit has an open structure, one piece to handle, and a textured cotton surface. The bead-filled design has a smooth, continuous surface, a cover you can strip off, and a sealed weighted layer underneath. People who love one often dislike the other, and both are legitimate preferences.
Gravity is the brand that made weighted blankets famous, and their Original is the format most people picture: a weighted inner filled with fine glass beads in a quilted grid, zipped inside a removable plush cover. If that smooth, covered feel is what you want, Gravity should be your starting point, and the rest of this section is about what you trade for it.
The honest way to frame this is not "which is better" but "which chores do you want."
With Gravity, you manage two pieces. The cover comes off and machine washes, which is a real convenience if you want the surface against your skin laundered often. The weighted inner, per Gravity's own product page, is hand-wash only and air dry. Their homepage currently says spot-clean only. Either way, the heavy part does not go in your machine, and after washing the cover you reattach it with ties, button connectors and a zipper.
With BloomKnit, there is one thing. The blanket is the weight. It goes in the machine whole, in its cotton bag, on cold. Nothing to unzip, nothing to line up, no inner piece that has its own rules. If the idea of wrestling twenty pounds back into a duvet cover is the reason your current blanket is in a closet, this is the difference that matters.
Gravity's 60-day weight exchange is also genuinely useful if your uncertainty is about pounds. Their own FAQ says most exchanges are for a lighter weight, which is worth remembering before you talk yourself up to 20.
A caution against something you will read elsewhere: not every bead-filled blanket leaks, rustles or bunches. Gravity addresses bead migration with gridded stitching and double-stitched baffles. Choose BloomKnit because you want a one-piece cotton knit, not because someone told you a horror story about beads.
What about Gravity Cooling?
Gravity sells a separate Classic Cooling Weighted Blanket with a moisture-wicking cover over the same glass-bead inner. It is a legitimate option for warm sleepers who prefer a smooth, covered surface. The choice is between a cooling fabric over a sealed weighted layer, and an open structure where the knit itself has gaps. Those are different experiences. There is no independent, head-to-head cooling test between these three products, and we have not run one.
Which weighted blanket doesn't make you sweat?
This is who BloomKnit was designed for, so we will be exact about what that means.
A traditional weighted blanket works like a quilt: the weight sits in sewn pockets between two layers of fabric, and whatever heat your body produces stays under that layered, sealed surface. A cooling cover changes the fabric you touch but not the sealed layer underneath it.
BloomKnit is a different structure. The chunky cotton knit has visible openings. Air passes through the blanket rather than being held beneath it. Cotton itself absorbs moisture rather than repelling it. The result is a blanket with real weight that does not behave like a sealed layer.
We are not going to tell you a number of degrees, because nobody has measured one for any of these products. What we will tell you is that if the reason you gave up on your last weighted blanket was heat, the open-knit construction is the design answer to that specific complaint, and it is the reason BloomKnit exists.
If you want a smooth surface rather than a knit texture, Gravity Cooling or Bearaby's Tree Napper are the covered and TENCEL alternatives. Different preference, different product.
Real-world scenarios: which blanket fits your situation?
You sleep hot and hate any solid layer over you. Start with an open knit, and between the two cotton knits here, BloomKnit gives you more width at the same weight. If what bothers you is texture rather than heat, and you want a smooth surface, look at Gravity Cooling or Bearaby's Tree Napper instead.
You're between 150 and 180 lb and can't decide between 15 and 20. Go 15. The 10% guideline puts you there, every brand here says round down, and Gravity reports most of their exchanges are toward lighter weights. With BloomKnit, the 15 lb is already the width other brands reserve for their 20, so you are not trading coverage for the lighter choice.
You have a small washer and limited drying space. Weigh the wet load, not the dry one. A one-piece knit is simple but the whole thing goes in; a cover-and-inner design lets you machine only the cover but leaves you hand-washing the heavy part. If your machine is small and you want frequent washes, Gravity's cover is the practical answer. If you have a front-loader that handles bedding and want one step, either knit works and BloomKnit ships with its own wash bag.
You want something that looks good on the couch during the day. This is BloomKnit's home turf: six colourways, a chunky knit meant to be seen, and a muslin bag rather than a plastic sleeve. Bearaby also offers a range of colours. Gravity's plush cover comes in three and reads as bedding.
You share a bed but only one of you wants weight. Buy a personal-size blanket for the one person and leave the other side alone. All three products here at 15 to 25 lb are single-person sizes by design. If you both want weight, you almost certainly want different weights, and two blankets beats one compromise.
You're not sure you'll like a weighted blanket at all. Return cost is your deciding factor. Blanket & Bloom returns are free with no processing or restocking fee. Bearaby charges $19.99 per Napper. Gravity offers a weight exchange but check their refund terms. Whichever you choose, do not wash it until you have decided, because none of these policies accept a washed blanket.
Common mistakes people make when buying a weighted blanket
Choosing weight without looking at width. Weight is what the marketing leads with, so width lands wherever it lands. Then the blanket slides off a shoulder and you blame the weight. Compare listed dimensions at your chosen weight before you order.
Assuming "machine washable" means the whole blanket. For a covered design it often means the cover only. Read the care line for the inner before you buy, and read the label again before the first wash.
Sizing to the mattress instead of the body. Weight that hangs over the edge of the bed pulls the blanket off you. Personal-size weighted blankets are narrow on purpose. Decide the coverage you want across your own shoulders, then pick the width that matches.
Comparing "from" prices. Every brand here prices by weight. The advertised starting price is the lightest variant. Select your actual weight on every site before deciding which one is expensive.
Finding out about return fees after the fact. Processing fees live on returns pages, not product pages. Read that page before ordering, especially at a price point where a $19.99 fee is a meaningful share of the refund.
Talking yourself up to a heavier weight. If you are between sizes, go lighter. A blanket that is slightly too light is something you adjust to. One that is too heavy is one you stop using. Gravity's own exchange data points the same way.
Expecting a blanket to cure anything. The research is promising and mixed. A weighted blanket is a comfort product that can become part of a routine you enjoy. If your sleep problem is persistent, that belongs with a clinician, not with a fourth blanket.
Price and returns: the purchase you would actually make
Select your real weight on every site before comparing, because the advertised "from" price is always the lightest variant. Then read what a return costs, because that is where the real price of a wrong decision hides.
| Blanket & Bloom | Bearaby | Gravity | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Return window | 30 days | 30 days | 30 days stated on the product page |
| Return shipping | Free, contiguous US | Free, contiguous US | Check current terms |
| Processing fee | None | $19.99 per Napper at 15, 20 or 25 lb | Check current terms |
| Restocking fee | None | None stated beyond processing fee | Check current terms |
| Condition required | Unused, unwashed, original packaging, proof of purchase, approval | Unwashed, branded label attached | Check current terms |
| Weight exchange | 30-day exchange, contact us | 30-day exchange | 60-day free weight exchange |
At Blanket & Bloom, an eligible return costs you nothing. Not shipping, not processing, not restocking. We do this because we would rather you order with confidence than hesitate.
What we will not dress up: none of these three policies is a sleep trial. Every one requires the blanket unwashed and in resaleable condition. Thirty days is a window to request a return on a blanket you have decided against, not a month of use with a refund at the end. Read the policy before you wash anything.
What the research actually supports
Some research supports weighted blankets for some people. We think you should see it rather than take our word.
A pilot randomised controlled trial published in BMC Psychiatry in November 2024 enrolled 102 adults with clinical insomnia. After one month, the weighted-blanket group improved significantly more on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index than the normal-blanket group. On the Insomnia Severity Index, the difference was not statistically significant. No severe adverse events occurred, and the authors called for larger studies.
A 2024 review in Frontiers in Psychiatry surveys the literature on weighted blankets and sleep, with deep pressure stimulation discussed as the proposed mechanism.
Neither is a test of BloomKnit, Gravity or Bearaby. You will see brands in this category making much stronger claims, including about specific hormones. Those are not established for a retail blanket and we do not make them. BloomKnit is a comfort product built around deep pressure stimulation, breathability and coverage. If you have a persistent sleep problem, that belongs with a clinician.
Results vary. Not intended to diagnose or treat any medical condition.
Should I get a 15 lb or 20 lb weighted blanket?
The common guideline is roughly 10% of body weight. Most people between about 130 and 180 lb choose our 15 lb. Above that, the 20 lb. If you are between, go lighter. Both Bearaby and Gravity say the same, and Gravity notes most of their exchanges are downward.
Then separate weight from coverage. They are related, not the same. A blanket that felt too narrow does not become wider by getting heavier, which is exactly the mistake the matched-weight table above prevents. At BloomKnit's sizes, the 15 lb already gives you the width other brands reserve for their 20.
Think about handling, too. Can you lift it, shift it under, carry it to the machine and move it wet? A wet cotton knit weighs considerably more than its dry number.

A brief safety note
This guide is about adult purchasing decisions. Seek professional advice before use if breathing, circulation, temperature regulation, mobility or alertness could affect safe use. Anyone using a weighted blanket must be able to remove it independently. Never use one as a restraint or cover the head or neck. Children have separate requirements not covered here.
How do you wash a weighted blanket without ruining it?
"Machine washable" is only useful once you know what goes in the machine, and how a heavy blanket behaves when it is wet.
How often to wash. A weighted blanket used over a top sheet does not need frequent washing. A few times a year is typical unless something is spilled on it. Washing less, and correctly, does more for the life of a knit than washing often.
Spot-clean between washes. For a small mark, blot with cool water and a little mild detergent, then let it air dry flat. Do not rub a knit; it pulls the loops.
Washing BloomKnit™. The whole blanket, machine cold, in the supplied cotton wash bag, front-loading machine recommended. The bag keeps the open loops from catching on the drum. Follow the sewn-in label for the cycle, and confirm your machine can handle the load before you start. Step-by-step BloomKnit™ washing instructions.
Washing Bearaby Cotton Napper. Also the whole blanket, cold, delicate or permanent-press, tumble low, and their page advises against top-loading machines. Both knits are washable. Neither is the only one.
Washing Gravity Original. Cover in the machine, inner by hand and air dried. Convenient if you want frequent cover-only washing. Less so if the cover is what you dread.
Drying safely. For a cotton knit, dry flat or tumble on low, checking between cycles. A 15 or 20 lb blanket can take two or three low-heat cycles. Never hang a wet knit. Cotton holds a great deal of water, and hanging puts all of that weight on the top row of loops, which is the single most common way a knit stretches.
What not to do. No bleach, no fabric softener, no hot water, no high-heat drying, no hanging wet, and no top-loading agitator for an open knit.
Storing off-season. Fold, do not hang. BloomKnit ships in a reusable cotton muslin bag for exactly this. Keep it dry and out of direct sun, and it will look the same when the weather turns.
Frequently asked questions
Is BloomKnit™ a good Bearaby alternative?
Yes. Both are hand-knit cotton weighted blankets with no beads. BloomKnit gives you 45" x 72" at 15 lb against Bearaby's 40" x 72", and 48" x 72" at 20 lb against their 45" x 72", at a lower list price and with no return processing fee. Bearaby is the better fit if you require certified organic cotton or a 10 lb or 25 lb weight.
Is Blanket & Bloom cheaper than Bearaby?
At 15 lb, yes at list price: $249 against $269. Bearaby's often-quoted $199 is their 10 lb. Both brands run sales, so compare the same weight on the same day.
Is Blanket & Bloom cheaper than Gravity?
No. Gravity Original is $149 at every adult weight. BloomKnit is $249 and $299. You are paying for hand-knit cotton, a one-piece design and a blanket made to be seen. If that is not worth it to you, Gravity is the right buy.
Which weighted blanket is best for hot sleepers?
Start with construction. BloomKnit™ and Bearaby Cotton Napper are open cotton knits with visible gaps; Gravity Original is a sealed, quilted inner inside a cover, and Gravity also sells a cooling-cover model. Between the two knits, BloomKnit offers more width at the same weight. No independent test has measured these three against each other, so choose the structure you prefer rather than a claimed number.
Is a 15 lb or 20 lb weighted blanket better for someone between 150 and 180 lb?
15 lb. The 10% guideline lands there, all three brands recommend rounding down when between weights, and Gravity reports most exchanges are toward lighter blankets. With BloomKnit, the 15 lb is 45" x 72", the same width as Bearaby's 20 lb, so choosing lighter does not cost you coverage.
Is Bearaby worth the money?
For certified organic cotton, a 10 lb or 25 lb weight, or the reassurance of thousands of reviews, yes. At 15 lb and 20 lb specifically, BloomKnit™ is wider at the same weight, listed at a lower price at 15 lb, and has no return processing fee, so compare the matched-weight numbers before deciding.
Are weighted blankets without beads better?
Not for everyone. A bead-free cotton knit like BloomKnit™ or Bearaby is one piece, open in structure and washable whole. A bead-filled blanket like Gravity has a smooth covered surface and a cover you can wash on its own, with a hand-wash inner. Choose by the surface you want against you and the washing routine you will actually keep, not by which type a brand calls superior.
Which weighted blanket doesn't make you sweat?
No independent test has measured these three against each other, so no honest answer includes a number. Structurally, BloomKnit™ and Bearaby's Cotton Napper are open knits that let air move through the blanket; Gravity Original is a sealed, quilted inner inside a cover, with a separate cooling-cover model. If your last blanket failed on heat, start with an open knit.
Do Bearaby blankets contain glass beads?
No. Bearaby's Cotton Napper and Tree Napper are weighted by the textile. Gravity Original and Gravity Cooling use glass beads. Check the specific model.
Does "no beads" mean the strands are hollow?
No. BloomKnit™ gets its weight from its cotton construction. It does not use glass beads or plastic pellets as weighting material. Pure cotton inside and out.
Is a heavier blanket better?
No. Choose one you can lift, shift and remove easily. Gravity's own FAQ says most of their exchanges are for a lighter weight. If a blanket feels restrictive, that is information.
Should I pick the size to match my mattress?
Usually not. Weighted blankets are sized to your body so the weight stays on you rather than hanging off the bed. Decide the coverage you want across your shoulders, then compare listed widths. That is where the 45-inch 15 lb earns its place.
Can I put a duvet cover on BloomKnit™?
Check the care guidance first. A cover adds a layer and changes the surface, which is not what most people buy an open knit for. If cover-only washing matters most to you, Gravity is built around that.
Can I machine wash a whole Gravity Original?
No. Gravity's product page says the cover is machine washable and the inner is hand-wash and air dry. Follow the label on your version.
Does Bearaby charge to return a blanket?
Their returns page lists a $19.99 processing fee per item on 15, 20 and 25 lb Nappers, with free return shipping. Blanket & Bloom charges no processing or restocking fee on eligible returns.
Are Blanket & Bloom returns a 30-night sleep trial?
No. Returns must be unused, unwashed, in original packaging with proof of purchase, and approved before shipping. The same is true at Bearaby and Gravity.
Will a weighted blanket cure insomnia or anxiety?
No, and no honest brand should say so. The research is promising and mixed. Persistent symptoms belong with a clinician.
What should I check before ordering?
Selected weight, listed dimensions, colour, price at that weight, stock, care instructions and return terms. If a brand's page disagrees with itself, ask them in writing before you buy.
The bottom line
Gravity is the cheapest and the most traditional. Bearaby is the organic option with the longest track record. Both are good products and we have linked you to them.
BloomKnit™ is not trying to be everything to everyone. It is the cotton knit that gives you the most blanket at 15 pounds, goes into the machine in one piece, comes in six colours you will want to leave out, and can be sent back for nothing if it is wrong. At $249, it is listed below the Bearaby it is most often compared to.
It does not need to win every category to be the right blanket for you. It needs to match the way you actually sleep.
We did not need to hide anyone else's numbers to make that case. We just put them next to ours.
