The Kalm Koala blanket was next up on our list, coming in second thanks to its versatile and durable nature. The brand took 18 months to design, test, and produce a weighted blanket that would stand up to wear and tear, without sagging, bunching, or bead spillage typical of other low-quality weighted blankets.
Their dedication paid off, as this UK-based brand created a blanket that offered durability and breathability, creating a comfortable cuddle for warm and cold sleepers alike. Use this blanket all year round to help with sleep quality. The tiny, glass beads are securely stitched into the duvet, and secured into the cover with a unique loop and tie design. Opt for the breathable bamboo side for those hot nights, or flip over the cover for the organic cotton for a warmer snuggle.
Over 80% of our testers felt calm and relaxed under this blanket, commenting on improved sleep quality. Where other weighted blankets bunch up and fall off the bed during the night, resulting in disrupted sleep, the Koala felt more secure and did not shift, helping testers get to sleep quicker and stay that way.
With three weights to choose from, 4kg, 6kg, and 9kg, the Koala offered users a versatile sleep aid, that works for a range of body weights for optimal use.
