Company description

Baloo Living is a strong and growing team of kind humans founded on the hypothesis that a body at rest and a mind that listens to its best instincts go hand in hand. We think of wellness as a journey, not a category, and we create tools that empower self-healing, instead of claiming to be a person’s only cure. That is what led us to start a company focused on rest and reflection, primarily through products designed for sleep.  Our core product is the Baloo weighted blanket, the only one on the market made without synthetic liners or polyester fill. Carbon neutral and plastic free, we are here to give back to our communities and our customers, and enjoy the journey along the way!
