This weighted blanket is the perfect gift!

Bearaby is the weighted blanket decor lovers dream of. 😍

I recently became hooked on my Bearaby weighted blanket after graciously receiving one as a gift. It got me thinking of what a great gift this would be for the holidays. If you’re swooning over the weighted blanket and chunky knit throw trend, you’re not going to want to miss this super special home decor dream!

Let me just preface this post by saying it isn’t about a budget-friendly journey. Instead, I’m here to tell you why you should consider this decor piece as your next luxury splurge, or even a generous gift.

I had been eyeing weighted blankets since they rose in popularity a few years ago. After finally slipping myself under one recently, I knew it was finally time to pull the trigger! I’ll be honest, I never even heard of Bearaby until a few months ago. Luckily for me, I was gifted one of these gorgeous blankets by a very generous soul – I’m very lucky, I know. 😍

So, what makes Bearaby different from other weighted blankets?

With just one look, it’s pretty clear why I consider this a luxe weighted blanket – it’s a stunning decor piece all on its own! The chunky knit style is that of gorgeous, thicker yarn knitted throws, which can cost upwards of a few hundred bucks. 😱

Except, this lovely blanket onlinees with the added weighted onlinefort that so many people love to cozy up with! 👏 Better yet, the knitted design is actually functional too and provides weight without all the excess heat (which is great for hot sleepers like me)!

It also can be used in the summer when you want stress-relieving onlinefort without being fully covered and is said to be an all-season winner in everyone’s book! Additionally, the loose knitting allows it to stretch out in different directions to adapt to all shapes for optimum coziness. 🙌

Here are even more benefits & lovely features of the Bearaby Weighted Blanket:

  • Made of organic cotton
  • Hand-knit with love
  • Soft, breathable fabric
  • Vegan/plant-based
  • Evenly weighted for deep, natural sleep
  • Perfect for all seasons
  • No fillers
  • Machine washable — note, I’ve washed mine without issue thanks to this handy Bearaby washing guide!

I also appreciate the quiz on their site to determine the appropriate weight to buy. As you already know, this was a gift, and my recipient took the liberty of filling it out for me, but I would have definitely done so if purchasing for myself!

In either case, it’s only a few questions that stand between you and the ideal blanket weight for either yourself or a lucky Bearaby giftee.

I’m really trying to find a caveat with this blanket (aside from it obviously being a spendier buy) but can’t think of any! I really LOVE this blanket so much right down to the beautiful Asteroid Grey color I was gifted!

With their selection and neutral & bold colors available, I’m confident there’s a hue to match any color scheme in your home too.

So onto the price… 😬

Yes, this blanket starts at $199… EEEK! 😅

While I know it’s no laughing matter, I work for a frugal lifestyle site. Believe me, I get it and totally understand this product cost sounds very far-fetched for some. I’ve seen plenty of deals on weighted blankets, so I realize there are many more budget-friendly options out there too.

However…

Considering I find this blanket’s design absolutely perfect, both for functionality and aesthetics, it earns major points to justify the cost. There also aren’t any dupes on the market that even onlinepare. And hey, there are plenty of other splurges we all justify to ourselves so if you’re looking for a “treat yo-self” opportunity, why not consider one like Bearaby that you could use daily?

Plus, if I use it every day for a year, that’s JUST 69¢ per use! 😂

Yup, that’s how my brain works. 😆 And, yes ladies, you can tell your husbands you heard that from me! 🤣 LOL!

I’d like to also mention that this post is not sponsored. This is my true experience with Bearaby after being gifted one (and nope, it was not a gift from the onlinepany either) and I’m happy to spread the love I have for this luxe home decor item! 

Still unsure?

The Bearaby return policy is great, so if you’re truly in the market for this one-of-a-kind product (i.e. a weighted blanket AND a gorgeous chunky knit throw blanket), there’s no reason not to try it because of their incredible 30 Day Peace of Mind Guarantee.

Basically, if you’re not over the moon with your purchase and you haven’t already washed it, they’ll take it back. No questions asked! Pretty sweet, huh?! 😏

Scoop up a new Bearaby weighted blanket and let the waves of gratitude roll in!

    You can make one in a couple hours with no knitting experience whatsoever. It was fun and I do love mine but I found that I tend to grab every other throw before this one. It’s just slightly awkward and I worry the chunky knit’s going to get caught on a drawer pull or table edge. I love the weight, but I have a few faux fur throws that are heavy and cozy so mostly I just enjoy my chunky knit as a piece of art. And while my chunky throw is warm, psychologically, it just doesn’t *seem* as warm, so once again, I tend to grab other throws. To be fair, though, I have several awesome throws. If I didn’t, I’d likely use my chunky knit more.

    • nita

      Great points Erin! I know there’s a lot of tutorials on how to make this chunky blanket, not weighted but just a chunky knit and I’ve always wanted to make one, they’re very cool aesthetically!

    • Bel

      What kind of yarn did you use?

      • Erin

        Michaels carried thick yarn several years back when these throws were really popular. I’m not sure if they do anymore since the skeins are absolutely enormous and take up a ton of room in the store but I know Amazon had the cotton type of yarn (almost like yarn made of tee shirt material) used in the blanket in this post. If you google the tutorials, they usually include links to the yarn. Be aware that it isn’t cheap. I paid somewhere around $60 for four skeins (which made a bigger than average throw) but I worked a killer deal. I paid less for my favorite go-to throws! 🤣 Oh, and something else to think about: these aren’t the easiest to launder due to their size and weight! Be sure to look at care instructions before pulling the trigger on a throw or yarn!

    • Margaret Menke

      I made one a couple of years ago and I bought a Bearaby last year and there’s no onlineparison. I can barely pick up the Bearaby, it’s way heavier than the kind you can make. I do like the Bearaby because it doesn’t make me hot like my Amazon weighted blanket does.

  2. Slp

    My mind works the same way.

    • Emily (Hip Sidekick)

      I’m glad I’m not the only one! 😂

  3. laura-24

    So pretty! I’ve been eyeing these for awhile now. But with a pug puppy that I lovingly call crackhead Sally (real name Ellie) – I will have to pass until she’s old

  4. Sara

    I love that this is Organic Cotton!! I’m going to be asking for this for Mother’s Day!! Thanks💕

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You’re very welonlinee, Sara!

  5. dealzgurl

    The blue one is gorgeous! #goals! 🙂

  6. Sherry

    I am probably in the minority but I hate the weighted blanket I bought a year ago. The only thing I use it for is to keep the onlineforter in place after I make the bed. It is too restrictive for me.

    • Lori

      I agree with you! Hate my weighted blanket.

  7. Jen

    I knew I shouldn’t have read this post…. I love my weighted blanket but it’s just so hot in summer and this one sounds like it solves my problem. A mother’s day gift to me? Yep, let’s go with that. 🙂

    • Jennifer (Hip Sidekick)

      Happy Mother’s Day to you, Jen!

  8. Marian Knaust

    Looks amazing!!

  9. Maureen

    I love the idea of this but I’m trying to save for tuition for a masters degree. Ugh. Wants and Needs. It’s so hard to adult sometimes

  10. Nikki

    I want a cream option!

  11. Renee

    I think they are worth it!! I’m going to invest in one!

  12. Denise Payne

    Erin,
    I watch you, Colin and Stetson on a daily basis I’ve been doing my research on weighted blankets I have muscle spasms as a result of cerebral palsy since birth. I could really benefit from this weighted blanket. Being on a fixed inonlinee weighted blankets are so expensive.

  13. Kendall mehaffey

    Omg I scored one today for $70 at pottery barn outlet !!!! I had no clue what I found. But when I got home I remembered your post ans looked it up. Turns out it’s a bearaby 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I. So excited for my frugality

    • Emily (Hip Sidekick)

      That’s amazing!! What a great score, Kendall. 🤩

      • Marla

        Bought a bearaby last year. It doesn’t feel as heavy as my other weighted blanket (both 15 lbs) but it’s also much cooler. Good thing about this one is all the beans/sand doesn’t get stuck on one side of the blanket either. So it’s evenly distributed. Only negative I have is that the tencel blanket I ordered had a terrible chemical smell when I first got it. Did not go away with airing out for a week or more. It did improve with washing – but annoying that I had to wash a $250 blanket before I could use it. And it took like a week to air dry.
