Bearaby Tree Napper

T The Good Trade Emily McGowan · reviewer · Dec 2025

The blanket is a winner in both appearance and texture. The soft tencel of the Tree Napper really is cooling and quite silky feeling without being shiny (or sticky if I sweat). I’m obsessed with how calming and deep the green of the Rosemary color is, and honestly — if you take a moment to search Google images for weighted blankets—this is one of the most attractive ones on the market.

Like our best overall pick, the Bearaby Tree Napper Weighted Blanket features a chunky-knit design that doesn't rely on glass beads or other fill. Instead, it's made from TENCEL lyocell derived from eucalyptus. Similar to bamboo-derived fabrics, eucalyptus lyocell is known for its breathability, moisture-wicking properties and cool-to-the-touch feel.

What I love about the Bearaby weighted blanket is that the added weight on my body not only feels soothing but also seems to help prevent me from moving around all night, which helps me stay asleep. Plus, despite being heavy (duh), the cooling tencel feels surprisingly lightweight, which means I can use it even during the warmer months of the year.
