Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our weighted blankets and home essentials.
How do I choose the right blanket weight?
We recommend choosing a blanket that is roughly 10% of your body weight. If you are between sizes, we suggest rounding up for the best experience.
Are Bearaby blankets machine washable?
Yes, our Cotton Nappers and Tencel Nappers are fully machine washable. We recommend washing separately in cold water on a delicate cycle and tumble drying on low.
What makes Bearaby blankets different from other weighted blankets?
Unlike traditional weighted blankets filled with plastic beads or glass pearls, our blankets are hand-knitted from layers of organic fabric, providing weight through material density and allowing for superior airflow.
Are your materials sustainable?
Sustainability is at our core. We use GOTS-certified organic cotton, Tencel™ Lyocell sourced from eucalyptus, and recycled marine plastic for our fillers.
Do weighted blankets help with anxiety?
Weighted blankets utilize Deep Touch Pressure (DTP) to stimulate the production of serotonin and melatonin, which can help reduce cortisol levels and promote a sense of calm.
Can children use Bearaby blankets?
We offer a specific 'Napper Jr.' line for children. However, weighted blankets should never be used by infants or children who cannot move the blanket off themselves independently.
