YnM 15lbs Weighted Blanket for Adults, 48x72 Inches, Dark Grey

Why it's worth it

YnM sells this blanket in weights from 5 to 25 pounds across a dozen sizes, so you can match one to a teenager and another to a 200-pound adult. The 2-inch stitched compartments keep beads from pooling better than most blankets at any price.

Those 2-inch compartments are the reason this budget blanket outperforms its price. Most blankets use 4- or 5-inch grid squares. YnM's exclusive line goes down to 2 inches, which means beads have far less room to migrate toward the edges. The practical result is more even pressure across your body and less of that annoying shift when you roll over.

If you're buying for a household rather than yourself, the range is the whole point. A 90-pound teenager and a 180-pound adult need very different blankets, and YnM sells both without you having to shop two brands. Their sizing advice is to take 10% of your body weight and add a pound — the standard occupational therapy starting point, nudged slightly heavier.

What we like

• +Those 2-inch compartments are the reason this budget blanket outperforms its price
• +If you're buying for a household rather than yourself, the range is the whole point
• +The 7-layer construction packs in more glass beads and less fiberfill than typical budget blankets, which keeps it thinner and…
• +It's machine washable on a gentle cycle, and YnM sells duvet covers separately with 16 loops to hold the inner blanket in place

What to know

• –The 48-by-72-inch twin size is narrower than a twin mattress, so it sits on top of you rather than tucking around you
• –Build quality is good for the money but not premium
