Bearaby Just Launched a Kids' Version of Our Favorite Weighted Blanket

With all of the stress, uncertainty and restlessness 2020 has brought so far, I’ve been very thankful for my weighted blanket. I’ve tried several different brands and Bearaby’s Classic Napper still tops my list of recommendations because it checks all of the boxes a weighted blanket should: It’s machine-washable, soft, cooling, sustainably made and aesthetically pleasing, undoubtedly its most unique feature. The Classic Napper is woven from thick, organic cotton instead of using glass or plastic filler beads as most other weighted blankets do, and the stylish, chunky weave means you’ll always want to keep it out on display.

Since its launch in 2018, Bearaby’s blankets have been wildly popular and garnered rave reviews — including ours! Customers have been asking for a kids’ weighted blanket, and with children of all ages feeling the effects of disrupted school schedules and their regular routines, Bearaby couldn't have delivered its new Nappling blanket at a better time.

Through the therapeutic benefits of deep touch pressure, Bearaby says the Nappling weighted blanket is designed specifically for children to improve sleep cycles and lower stress, which are incredibly important as their brains develop. And when little ones are able to fall asleep and​ stay asleep, it can lead to children living happier, healthier lives and improve the well-being of their caregivers. As in, when kids sleep better, so do their parents.

The very cutely named Nappling is an eight-pound blanket designed for kids ages four to 14, and it retails for $149. It's available in Midnight Blue, Moonstone Grey, Evening Rose and Confetti, which features a color-block design of all the previous three colors and cream.
