Our take
If you're going to spend money on one weighted blanket and keep it for years, Bearaby is the one. Reddit users who've tried multiple brands keep landing here, and the breathable knit construction solves the overheating problem that ruins most weighted blankets.
If overheating has killed every weighted blanket you've tried, Nuzzie is your answer. The braided construction is the only design besides Bearaby's knit that Reddit's weighted blanket community consistently recommends for hot sleepers.
