The joy of a weighted blanket first came into our consciousness following a desperate search for something - anything - that would make a small child who refused to sleep much, sleep longer. As a general guide, a weighted blanket should weigh between 10% and 15% of the person's body weight: enough to feel secure, yet easy to move underneath. The Baloo Mini is the smaller cousin of the weighted throw/blanket and feels like a gentle hug, making bedtime and naptime a breeze.

Most weighted throws and blankets are made of polyester and plastic beads. Baloo is an eco-friendly, luxury weighted blanket made with lead-free glass microbeads and materials certified to be free from all toxic and harmful chemicals. This is the only quilted weighted blanket with 100% clean and natural cotton chosen for its softness, breathability and durability. It has pure cotton batting and a glass microbead fill, sewn into three differently-sized pockets for optimum balance. No polyester linings or fillings. Baloo Living is carbon neutral, ocean positive, and only uses compostable, plastic-free packaging.
