Q: Why is Bearaby the best toxin-free weighted blanket for my teen?
A: Most weighted blankets are filled with plastic beads. Friendly Advice: Bearaby uses only organic cotton loops for weight, meaning no chemicals or microplastics are being inhaled by your teen while they sleep.
Q: Does a "cooling" weighted blanket actually work?
A: A Healthy SHIFT: Yes! Because of the chunky knit design, air flows freely through the blanket. Conventional weighted blankets use solid plastic sheets and beads that trap body heat and cause sweating.
Q: Why shouldn't I just buy a cheaper weighted blanket with glass beads?
A: The Manufacturer Lie: While glass is better than plastic, the fabric around those beads is almost always polyester. That polyester sheds microplastics into your bed and "messes with your body's natural rhythm" by trapping heat.
Q: Is it really okay to put a 15 lb blanket in my washing machine?
A: Truth Check: Yes, but check your machine’s weight limit first! The best part of this smart swap is that you can actually keep it clean, unlike traditional beaded blankets that trap dust mites and allergens.
Q: How do I know if the weight is right for me?
A: Friendly Advice: Aim for 10% of your body weight. If you're between sizes, round up! The weight is distributed so evenly through the knit that it feels like a gentle, firm hug rather than a heavy weight.
