We have a bearaby blanket. It's a little different from most weighted blankets in that it doesn't have a bunch of little beads or whatever sewn into it for weight, its just knitted from a ton of fabric. Because it is knitted it's very breathable which is nice because I'm a pretty hot sleeper.

It's also probably a little more washable than a lot of other blankets because of that, but you may need to make a trip to the Laundromat to use the big washer.

If you're not a fan of the knit, I imagine you could probably stick it in a duvet cover.

    I have one of these and can highly recommend it. I chose the Bearaby because it didn't have those little beads. I've heard if those bead pockets rupture while in the wash, they'll destroy a washing machine.

    That's a big part of the reason we went with it. Even if it didn't destroy the washing machine, you just know eventually it's gonna break open somehow and then you're gonna be stuck cleaning up those beads.

    And the weight distribution on some of them just isn't very good, more like having a pile of beanbags on you than an extra heavy blanket
