Cotton Napper
The Cotton Napper is the industry leader for material purity, utilizing a unique hand-knitted design that eliminates the need for artificial fillers or glass beads. It is GOTS certified organic cotton throughout, ensuring no pesticides or synthetic chemicals are present in the fabric.
Quality & Materials
Made of 95% GOTS certified organic cotton and 5% spandex for loops. No polyester, no plastic, and no artificial cooling gels.
Evidence & Testing
The product is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified and GOTS certified. Weighted blankets generally are backed by clinical research (AASM) for reducing insomnia severity.
Brand Transparency
Bearaby provides clear sourcing information and maintains high sustainability standards, including plastic-free shipping and Fair Trade certifications.
Value Assessment
High price point ($249+) is justified by the organic certification and the labor-intensive hand-knitted construction, though it is a luxury investment.
Why Not Alternatives?
Unlike Gravity or Luna, Bearaby uses no glass or plastic beads, which eliminates the 'leaking' issue and the shifting of weight. It is significantly more breathable than blankets that use polyester batting to hold beads in place.
