Material and Construction

 

Baloo’s weighted blanket is made using cotton, both for the exterior casing and the core filling, ensuring a completely synthetic-free experience. While the cotton isn’t certified or explicitly disclosed where it’s sourced from, customers won’t encounter any pesky glass pellets, plastics, or other artificial fillings that could potentially compromise their comfort or well-being.

 

Colour Options

 

Baloo offers a selection of four different color options for its products-this limited palette may not cater to the diverse design aesthetics and preferences of all customers. A broader range of hues could potentially enhance the brand’s appeal, allowing individuals to seamlessly integrate Baloo’s offerings into their unique home decor styles and color schemes. Expanding the color offerings would not only provide greater flexibility in achieving desired looks but also enable customers to better match and coordinate with existing furnishings and design elements within their living spaces..

Weight Options

 

Baloo’s weighted blanket is available in 12lb, 15lb, 20lb, or 25lb options. The brand offers a quiz on their weighted blanket page to help customers find their appropriate weight. It’s worth noting that Baloo currently does not offer an 8lb option, which could be an ideal weight for children, teenagers, and individuals suffering from anxiety or sleep issues. The addition of an 8lb variant could cater to these specific demographics, providing a suitable level of gentle pressure that may aid in promoting a sense of calm and restful sleep for those who might find the existing weight options too heavy..

Care and Cleaning

 

Baloo’s care instructions suggest a cold cycle with gentle detergent, followed by tumble drying on medium or low heat. For the king size option, they state commercial machines are necessary due to the larger dimensions, which could pose challenges for those without access to such facilities. While this may seem like a cost-effective method, the hands-on care required could be a deterrent for some consumers seeking a more hassle-free maintenance routine.

 

Availability and Shipping

 

Baloo’s weighted blankets are available at the brand’s brick-and-mortar stores or on their website at silkandsnow.com. The company offers free shipping across the US and Canada, with some small fees applying to remote locations. Orders will be dispatched within 2 business days from placing the order and will arrive within 2-9 business days, depending on location.
