Gravity Weighted Blanket Black Friday Deal — (Image credit: Future)

With Black Friday sales in full swing, it's the perfect time to snap up a weighted blanket for less, like this twin-size, 20lb, Cooling Bamboo Weighted Blanket for $87.20 (was $109) at YNM.

I know what you're thinking, it's freezing outside, we don't need cooling blankets. But if you're a hot sleeper, like me, a cooling weighted blanket can be just the trick to helping you sleep more comfortably through the night.

This cooling version of the YNM weighted blanket features a cover made from moisture-wicking, temperature regulating natural bamboo viscose, which the brand promises will prevent you overheating. The glass bead and microfiber fill is arranged in layers and stitched into 4.7"x 4.7" squares for even weight distribution. Our Sleep Features Editor found this weighted blanket actually eased her nighttime anxiety. YnM is offering 20% off when you spend $30 and 30% off purchases over $200, and while this model of their weighted blanket is already selling out in various sizes, colors, and weights, a twin in the 20lb weight is currently down to $87.20.

The Bearaby Cotton Weighted Blanket received a near-perfect 4.5/5 star score in our review, and while it's not technically a cooling blanket, its open-knit design made with 100% organic cotton (no fill used here) makes it especially breathable. It comes in four different weights 10, 15, 20, and 25lbs, and nine color options, so there's plenty of choice. But the best deal right now is on the 15lb option, which has 15% off in Bearaby's Black Friday sale, while all other sizes have 10% off .

The yescool weighted blanket is an Amazon best-seller with a 4.5/5 star rating from 8,500+ reviews (75% gave it a full 5 stars). The blanket is described as cooling and the polyester cover as "breathable," and it features layers of cotton and padding as well as the premium glass beads, stitched into 5"x5" squares to prevent the fill from moving around. It comes in weights between 3-30lbs, though yescool recommends choosing a blanket that is 10% of your body weight. Discounts vary depending on the size and weight you choose, but a queen in the 20lb weight is currently discounted up to 46% for Black Friday, with the lowest price on the blue option, which is currently down to $35.19.
