Estate sales, yard sales, and antique shops were regular weekend destinations for my brother and me as kids. My parents, always on the hunt for period-appropriate decor for our Staten Island 19th-century house, made sure of it. Since then, I’ve had a love for home design and…read more

Because my apartment is constantly freezing, I keep cozy throws scattered throughout every room. However, there is one specific blanket that my entire family constantly competes for: our favorite Lola blanket (there’s good reason for the social media hype). My 6-year-old affectionately calls it the “werewolf blanket” thanks to its exceptionally plush, furry texture. Naturally, when I discovered Lola created a weighted version that’s designed to help support a better night’s sleep, I couldn’t wait to test it.

It comes in 22 different colors and sizes ranging from Small to X-Large, quickly taking over as the ultimate family-favorite blanket. Beyond that, it has noticeably improved my rest, providing a much more peaceful night of sleep. Hands down, it’s the best weighted blanket I’ve ever owned, and now I’m convinced I need a few more. For a limited time, all Lola blankets are 50% off! Don’t wait, the sale is while supplies last only.

Why the Lola weighted blanket is the perfect amount of heaviness.

Made from remarkably plush, double-sided faux fur, the Lola Weighted Blanket offers a comforting heaviness without ever feeling overwhelming. At first, it struck me as simply a thick blanket, but after several nights of use, the therapeutic weighted quality (and surprising breathability) became truly apparent.

Its 100% polyester faux fur is OEKO-TEX certified and crafted to help alleviate stress, improve sleep quality, and soothe anxiety. As a naturally light and restless sleeper, I found that this blanket allowed me to drift off almost instantly and remain sound asleep until morning. On nights when I did wake up, its soft, gentle warmth quickly lulled me back to sleep.

The Large size fits a Full-sized bed perfectly, so if you sleep on a Queen-size or larger, I recommend opting for The Lola XL. I selected the smoky Fern Green shade, which is no longer available at the moment, and the sophisticated bubble stitching gives the sensation of being wrapped in fur blankets.

How does the Lola weighted blanket compare to the Lola original blanket?

Comparing the weighted blanket to a traditional Lola blanket, the most immediate difference is its extra thickness and an almost unimaginable increase in softness. It features a breathable, luxurious bubble stitching that adds subtle sheen and lovely texture — photos simply don’t do it justice. The ultra-soft material and bubble design can cause the blanket to feel slightly “slippery” on the bed, but the unbelievable comfort far outweighs that minor issue.

Like the original, the weighted blanket is machine washable and comes in a range of shades. Size options remain identical as well: Small/Baby (30 x 36 inches), Medium (50 x 60 inches), Large (60 x 72 inches), and The Lola XL (80 x 90 inches). Both options will completely redefine what cozy feels like.

Whether you go with a Lola Original Blanket or the Lola Weighted Blanket, you’ll be in incredibly soft hands all fall and winter long. And since everything is 50% off, now is the time to buy! Don’t wait, these blankets will sell out fast.
