Usage Guidelines
Choosing the Right Weight and Size
This Baloo Weighted Blanket is 15 lbs and measures 60x80 inches, suitable for one adult. It is designed to cover the top of a queen-sized mattress with minimal overhang. For optimal comfort, a weighted blanket should typically be about 10% of your body weight. If you are between sizes, it is generally recommended to choose the lighter option.
How to Use
- Initial Placement: Lay the weighted blanket over your body, ensuring the weight is evenly distributed.
- Adaptation Period: It may take a few nights to adjust to the sensation of a weighted blanket. If you feel uncomfortable, you can gradually increase your usage time.
- Layering: The blanket can be used on its own or layered over your existing bedding. Its 100% cotton design is intended to be cool and breathable.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care ensures the longevity and hygiene of your Baloo Weighted Blanket. Follow these instructions carefully:
Washing Instructions
- Machine Wash: Use cold water on a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
- Separation: Wash with whites only to prevent color transfer.
Drying Instructions
- Tumble Dry: Dry on low heat.
- Avoid High Heat: High heat can damage the fabric and internal components.
- Ensure Thorough Drying: Make sure the blanket is completely dry before storing or using to prevent mildew.

Troubleshooting
Bead Leakage
In rare instances, some users have reported minor bead leakage. While Baloo blankets are double-stitched for durability, if you notice beads, inspect the seams for any small openings. If leakage occurs, contact customer support for assistance.
Discomfort or Overheating
If you find the blanket too heavy or warm, consider the following:
- Adjustment Period: Allow a few nights for your body to adjust to the weight.
- Temperature Control: Ensure your room temperature is comfortable. The 100% cotton design is breathable, but external factors can affect perceived warmth.
- Alternative Usage: If the full blanket is too much, try using it only over your legs or torso initially.
