This Non-Chunky Weighted Blanket Is Our Family-Favorite for Relaxing All Day
I have a lot of beloved throw blankets in my linen closet, and the vast majority of them are weighted. What can I say? There’s something about a huggable blanket that puts me in my coziest mood. I have different sizes that satisfy a number of needs, from traveling to improving overall sleep. But for all the moments in between, when you just want to kick back and relax, there’s one that my whole family is obsessed with: Brooklinen’s Weighted Throw Blanket. Unlike other heavy blankets, this one is a cinch to transport from room to room without a struggle, so it’s no wonder that we’re all constantly sharing it.
Weighing 12 pounds, the Brooklinen Weighted Throw is a slimmer alternative to the trendy chunky-knit weighted blankets we’ve come to know and love. It comes in four colors and has a quilted cotton design that not only keeps the glass beads evenly distributed but also gives it a cozy feel and appearance. Since I got this blanket last fall, there’s hardly ever a time that someone in my house isn’t wrapped up in its comfort. It’s soft, breathable, and doesn’t trap heat, and even our dog (the most finicky member of the household… ) snuggles up beside it!
Distinguishing itself from other weighted blankets, Brooklinen’s is different on each side: The top is textured, and the bottom is smooth for a stylishly homey look. It definitely stands out from my other weighted blankets, which typically look the same all around. And since this throw doesn’t take up a lot of space, it’s easy to leave out between uses. While chunky blankets are incredibly tempting, if you live in a small space (like I do), they’re not the most practical. But not to worry — the bulkiness of a weighted blanket isn’t always a reflection of how heavy it is. Instead of packing it away when the temperature outside starts to rise, this throw is lightweight enough to use all year round!
Brooklinen’s Weighted Throw Blanket provides a solid amount of pressure that’s great for relaxing on the couch all day with a great book or binge-worthy show. (At 48″ x 72″, it’s also easy to layer with bedding.) Give yourself a little TLC in the form of this luxe find, and you’ll be ready to savor cozy afternoon naps all year long.
