ZonLi Weighted Blanket Review

ZonLi Weighted Blanket Review Breakdown

The ZonLi Weighted Blanket is a relatively inexpensive weighted blanket available in a wide array of size and weight options. With five sizes and 10 weight choices, people of all body types should be able to find a suitable weighted blanket from ZonLi.

Each blanket is composed of multiple layers with distinct functions. The microfiber layers help hold the glass bead fill in place, but they also tend to retain heat. For sleepers in colder climates or those looking for a winter-specific blanket, the ZonLi Weighted Blanket may be a good choice. If you sleep hot or live somewhere warm, you may want to pass in favor of ZonLi’s Cooling Bamboo Weighted Blanket.

The ZonLi Weighted Blanket’s internal components are high-quality and the blanket is fairly durable when cared for correctly. It’s not backed by any type of warranty, but it still provides a good value when considering the overall cost of the blanket. ZonLi’s weighted blanket could be an excellent match for anyone needing a warm weighted blanket at a below-average price-point.

Materials and Options

ZonLi offers three types of weighted blankets with a wide variety of size and weight options. While they all have the same glass bead and microfiber fill, the outer shells of each blanket are crafted for different functions.

The bamboo viscose outer shell of the Cooling Bamboo Weighted Blanket may be best for those who sleep hot, while the Plush Weighted Blanket is wrapped in a soft minky outer layer to provide additional warmth and coziness. Some weights and sizes of the latter also have a sherpa side for an extra fuzzy feel. The original ZonLi Weighted Blanket fits between these two warmth options with a cotton outer shell.

Pricing Information

Sleepers can generally expect to pay roughly $100 to $300 for a weighted blanket. ZonLi’s three weighted blanket options are each relatively inexpensive when compared to others on the market. ZonLi has a huge range of sizes and weights within their lines, which creates a fairly large pricing span. Since the internal components of the blankets are the same and they only differ in shell materials, ZonLi’s three weighted blanket models are priced very similarly to one another.

As is standard with mattresses and bedding, prices increase with size. Weighted blankets also increase in price as they get heavier since they require more materials. The smallest and lightest option is typically the cheapest, while the largest and heaviest blanket is usually the most expensive. Overall, weighted blankets are often slightly more expensive than non-weighted blankets made with similar materials, but the potential advantages of a weighted blanket may outweigh the difference in cost for some sleepers.

Since the pricing is so close between the three blankets, the deciding factor will likely be how warm of a blanket you want. Sleepers in colder climates may want to purchase the ZonLi Original and Plush versions, while those who sleep hot may prefer the ZonLi Cooling Bamboo Weighted Blanket.

Shoppers on a budget should also look at the prices for several color options since there can be marked differences between styles. Prices and availability are subject to change.

Weighted Blanket Performance Ratings

When researching the best weighted blankets, there are a few key factors to keep in mind. The blanket’s materials, how it regulates temperature, and its longevity are important to consider, especially when comparing between different models or brands. ZonLi offers three different weighted blankets, the following ratings are for the original ZonLi Weighted Blanket.

The ZonLi Weighted Blanket has a wide range of weight options that allow sleepers to pick an optimal or nearly optimal weight for their body type. The internal fill of the ZonLi Weighted Blanket is high-quality glass beads enveloped by layers of microfiber padding that prevent the beads from leaking out or getting redistributed to maintain a more even hug.

The layers of microfiber also help to insulate the blanket, making it exceptionally warm and a good option for those who need a true cold weather blanket. However, while the microfiber creates warmth, it also prohibits airflow, which may be problematic for those who need more temperature regulation.

The cotton cover adds a bit to the blanket’s breathability, though not enough to counteract the internal layers. ZonLi recommends using a duvet cover so the blanket itself doesn’t have to be washed as often. Depending on the materials you select, adding a duvet cover may also take away from the blanket’s overall breathability.

How Heavy Should My Weighted Blanket Be?

Generally, a weighted blanket should be about 10% of a sleeper’s total weight. Availability and personal preference may lead you to choose a blanket slightly more or less than that 10%, but it’s a good baseline to keep in mind when making your selection. In addition to weight, you should consider age and how many people plan to use the blanket.

ZonLi offers blankets in five sizes, with two that are designed specifically for children. The smallest weighted blanket ZonLi offers weighs 5 pounds and measures 36 inches by 48 inches. The next size up, 41 inches by 60 inches, comes in 7- and 10-pound choices. Those shopping for children weighing approximately 50 to 100 pounds will likely find a good option within ZonLi’s extended size and weight range.

Couples may also find ZonLi’s many options beneficial. As blankets get larger, the weight becomes more dispersed. Two people sharing a blanket may prefer a heavier option so that they both get to experience the hugging sensation. The ZonLi Weighted Blanket has larger sized blankets suitable for sharing that range from 15 pounds to 30 pounds.

It’s important to note that experts do not recommend weighted blankets for children under 2, no matter the child’s size. You may also want to consult with your child’s doctor if they have underlying health problems or underdeveloped muscles, especially if these conditions could prevent them from being able to remove the blanket in an emergency. Adults with underlying health conditions should also check with their doctor before use.
