Leroo®
Weighted blanket

According to our test, the weighted blanket from LEROO is ideal for overcoming sleep disorders, facilitating relaxation and reducing stress. It imitates a warm hug and can therefore help to reduce anxiety, brighten the mood and improve well-being. The high-quality therapy blanket is OEKO-TEX certified. Particularly high-quality fabrics have been selected for its manufacture, which are healthy, breathable, thermo-regulating and extremely gentle on the skin. The double-stitched finish of the blanket guarantees a particularly long service life. The gravity blanket is made up of seven layers. Each of these layers has its own important function and makes this weighted blanket particularly high-quality. This 7-layer system also reliably prevents glass beads from escaping. The weight in the duvet is provided by small micro glass beads, which are optimally distributed throughout the product . They ensure a pleasant sleeping sensation and a more intensive feeling of your own body. The weighted blanket from Leroo is supplied in a practical storage bag made of sturdy, transparent plastic. The delivery also includes a special cotton cover for the blanket with a matching pillowcase. These covers are in neutral shades of grey. They are also available from Leroo in a cosier version for the cold season. A clever loop system on the covers makes it a little easier to cover the weighted blanket. This also prevents the blanket from slipping inside the cover. Overall, the weighted blanket from Leroo is a highly recommended product.

The first impression

The packaging and labelling

The weighted ceiling from LEROO arrived compactly packed in a sturdy cardboard box. The note “Caution heavy parcel” on the packaging box can also prevent accidents during transport due to improper lifting. The box was undamaged and easy to open using scissors or similar. The product was additionally packed and protected in a portable storage bag made of thick plastic . The product was therefore fully protected in this case. The weighted blanket arrived in perfect condition . The packaging is not necessarily completely recyclable with regard to the supplied, portable storage bag made of sturdy plastic. However, as the blanket was delivered with the covers directly in it, this plastic bag makes perfect sense in favour of adequate product protection.

Total 82.5 points
Weighting: 20%
*The maximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the weighted blanket from LEROO an average rating of 4.3 stars. One criticism is that the weighted blanket makes it difficult to move and change sleeping positions at night. However, this is probably the case with all weighted blankets and is also part of the calming effect. Many customers like the fact that they noticed a significant improvement in falling asleep, sleeping through the night and the feeling of sleep after a certain period of familiarisation . In our practical test, we were also able to confirm that this product delivers what it promises. The sleeping comfort is particularly good and the blanket does not cause any skin irritation or other damage to health thanks to the natural materials.

Prices of up to €104.00 are charged on the internet for equivalent cushions in this size. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €49.99. With a price of € 69.90, the LEROO weighted blanket is currently in the middle price segment. The price ratio is very good for the quality and scope of services you get.
