From Bali to Now

“I remember first trying a weighted blanket, waking up from that nap and thinking, I've just been to a new place, far, far away. I saw this opportunity to share something with the West that communicated this experience that I was having in Bali—of decompressing, spending time in nature, and relearning feeling at home in my body in a very natural way."

Hello, happy hormones.

Baloo believes we can all be happier and healthier with the right tools. We’re constantly inspired by our bodies’ innate ability to heal and find natural balance. Something as simple as the deep pressure stimulation of a Baloo Blanket soothes the nervous system, alleviates stress and anxiety and increases serotonin production, a.k.a. the happy hormone.

The Baloo Difference

“I saw a big open space for a more thoughtful, conscious product. There was a sea of synthetic materials and plastic fill. For such an intimate, experiential product I had to execute it differently.”

Baloo is the only quilted weighted blanket on the market made with 100% cotton throughout, no hidden poly or plastics. But we didn’t stop there—we're OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified, carbon neutral and ocean positive with our partner SeaTrees, and use only compostable, plastic-free packaging. We're always improving, and this is just the beginning of our journey to a more sustainable world.
