The best weighted blankets use Deep Touch Pressure to reduce stress — it's the same thing that makes a hug, or a cat napping on your lap, so relaxing. But this heavy hug also makes weighted blankets hot to sleep under, a problem Bearaby's Tree Napper attempts to avoid.
So can the Tree Napper provide the coziness of a hug but without the heat build-up? I put a 15lb Tree Napper to the test. (A weighted blanket should weigh roughly 10% of your overall body weight.)
Its chunky knit design makes the Tree Napper one of the most attractive weighted blankets on the market. And it's practical, not just pretty, giving the Bearaby blanket completely even pressure distribution. That means you enjoy the same soothing hug from the shoulders down. Wrapped up in its knitted folds, I felt my stress slip away.
The Tencel and cotton fabric, alongside the airflow from the knit, effectively keep the Tree Napper breathable. It's not going to feel chilly all night long but hot sleepers don't have to worry about becoming stuck in a cocoon of trapped body heat.
It's the price that's the big sticking point. Starting from $249, this is a premium buy. But it's also an eco-friendly choice that avoids the common failures of many weighted blankets, so it might be worth the investment.
Bearaby's weighted blankets are a luxury choice and the Tree Napper, which uses cooling Tencel fibers, is the most expensive of the current line-up. Prices start at $249 for the 10lb model and there are four weights available.
