Weighted blankets are a true gift! They act as a form of constant pressure, similar to a hug, to help you
unwind and destress. People whom suffer from mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, have
found weighted blankets to be extremely beneficial, alongside those with autism due to struggle sleeping. I
was lucky enough to test out a weighted blanket for myself last year and I fell in love. The concept and
idea as well as the product itself. I recently got contacted by a different company to try out their weighted
blankets, and I accepted on the condition of comparing the two.
A weighted blanket is more complex that a regular quilt/duvet. These typically contain several layers sewn
together, overall weighing between 4-30lbs. The outer part of the blanket is a soft fabric used to keep you
cool, whilst the inner is made up of a combination of various materials such as stones, sand, rice, what or
plastic to add additional weight. The blanket itself is stitched into individual pockets to distribute weight
evenly across the body, whilst giving maximum comfort.
When it comes to weighted blankets, you would assume that they're the same across the board and just
slightly different in price, however I learnt that this isn't the case and the quality does differ.

COMPARISON
The Mela Comfort weighted blanket is a larger size and also comes with a cover, where as the Baloo
Living blanket itself is coloured therefore not needing a cover. The Mela Comfort blanket also
contains beads/weights in each individual section rather than spread out more sparsely.
Overall I prefer the Mela Comfort weighted blanket for when I'm going to sleep and especially
months when I need that extra comfort without being overwhelmed or feeling too hot.

I've always wanted to try a weighted blanket, both brands that you mentioned here sound great, I like that Mela is the one to use in the Winter and the Baloo one is better for the Summer months x

I was sceptical at first but I love how it feels like a hug x
DeleteI've heard so many good things about weighted blankets, but I'm yet to try one. Both of these sound fab, and I love the idea of having one that's good for the winter, and one that's good for the summer. At least then you can get the benefits year round xx

Exactly! That's what I love about them x
DeleteI've never tried one before, I was tempted to get one when pregnant as they are meant to help with leg pains you get in bed when pregnant!
ReplyDeleteCorinne x
I think you have to more cautious when you're pregnant but I definitely recommend x

I love it! Makes such a difference x
DeleteI always wanted to try a weighted blanket but I'm a little unsure about spending that kind of money on a blanket in case it doesn't work for me. Having one for colder weather and one for warmer weather is a good idea - especially if it's something you really benefit from.
ReplyDeleteThey always have discounts available and frequent sales, so I definitely recommend keeping you eye on them x
DeleteI love my weighted blanket I find it really good for when I've got a spare hour away from the baby to get a really good nap
ReplyDeleteMakes such a difference to your sleep x
