Baloo Living Weighted Blanket
Where to Buy
About This Product
The Baloo Living Weighted Blanket uses premium glass beads (not plastic pellets) evenly distributed in small pockets within a breathable organic cotton cover. Available in 15 lb and 20 lb options, the blanket provides deep pressure stimulation (DPS) that mimics a gentle, firm hug. The glass bead fill is thinner, quieter, and more temperature-neutral than plastic alternatives. The organic cotton shell is GOTS-certified, breathable, and machine-washable. The quilted pocket design prevents bead shifting and ensures even weight distribution. Baloo blankets are free from synthetic fabrics, polyester filling, and chemical treatments.
Why This Is Great for Thyroid Patients
Anxiety, insomnia, and an overactive nervous system are extremely common in thyroid patients, whether from the condition itself or the stress of managing a chronic illness. Weighted blankets provide deep pressure stimulation that activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting the release of serotonin and melatonin while reducing cortisol. For thyroid patients, lowering cortisol at bedtime is particularly important because elevated cortisol directly suppresses the nighttime TSH surge needed for healthy thyroid function. The organic cotton and glass bead construction ensures you're not introducing endocrine disruptors through your bedding while trying to improve your sleep.
