My review verdict
Aricove stood out to me for its soft, silky fabric, small stitched pockets and practical storage bag. The pockets helped the weight feel consistent, and eight attachment loops offered the option of a cover, although I preferred using the blanket without one.

Overview of the Aricove Weighted Blanket
The Aricove weighted blanket is a well-designed blanket and an option for hot sleepers that want the weight of a heavy duvet without trapping all the heat. While there are now endless options for weighted blankets, it's important to consider construction and durability as these blankets by nature are heavy and need to hold up to washing and frequent use. Below are my findings on the Aricove weighted blanket.
The Aricove weighted blanket will come shipped in a box like this. Well branded and neatly packed.
The Aricove weighted blanket comes with a canvas bag with a zipper and handles. This makes it easy to store it and travel with it. Weighted blankets are not easy to fold and look messy if you don't fold them just right. It's so much easier to just put this in the bag and zip it closed. It keeps the blanket clean and neat. You also get care instructions and warranty information.
Weighted blankets are basically a commodity these days and you can find them just about anywhere including walmart and target. The main difference from just any weighted blanket and a quality weighted blanket is in the details. With Aricove, you get great packaging and quality material inside as well. The fabric is soft and there is quality stitching throughout so you don't have to worry about frayed seams or filling coming loose.
What is the Aricove Weighted Blanket Made of?

How to Wash the Aricove Weighted Blanket
The original care instructions called for a delicate wash at 90–110°F and flat or low-heat drying. Aricove’s current listing specifies a maximum of 110°F. Follow your blanket’s label and check your washer’s capacity.
Use only mild, biodegradable laundry detergent that has no acid or alkali content.
Wash it separately from any other clothing to prevent snagging and damage.
Consider getting a matching duvet cover if you prefer not to wash your weighted blanket.
The Aricove Weighted Kids Blanket
Aricove has offered a smaller weighted blanket for children, but a smaller size alone does not establish safety. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises against weighted blankets on or near infants. For an older child, ask their pediatrician and make sure the child can remove the blanket independently. This review does not describe a firsthand test of the children’s version.
My Aricove Weighted Blanket Recommendation and Final Thoughts
At first glance there's really nothing revolutionary about this weighted blanket. But after using it compared to other weighted blankets, Aricove really gets the details right. The boxed stitching is small enough where the beads won't shift all that much to give you a much more consistent feel across the blanket.
The bamboo fabric has a soft silky feel and is great for keeping you cool and absorbing moisture so you won't wake up sweaty.
This blanket can be used with a cover. There are 8 loops stitched into the blanket to attach a cover. I would recommend using one if you don't plan to wash the blanket that often. I prefer not to use a cover since they can be cumbersome to attach and remove every time you want to wash it. Instead, I prefer to just wash the whole blanket provided the machine’s capacity and blanket care label allow it.
Original price and purchase terms
The following prices and terms are historical. The 10-pound option priced here differs from the 12-pound sample shown in my label photo.
If you purchase the Aricove and don't like it for whatever reason, you have 30 days to return it for a refund. You do need to pay return shipping though which could be a little expensive due to the weight.
Aricove also has a 3 year warranty on their blanket that warrants against any defects or workmanship. Usually it is 1 year.
A 48"x72" , 10 lb. weighted blanket retails for $169.95. That's a really good price compared to others I have seen and especially good given it is made with bamboo and premium stitching.
Final Thoughts on Aricove Weighted Blanket
Aricove makes a premium product without a premium price. If you are new to the world of weighted blankets or maybe just need an upgrade, take a look at Aricove. The extra attention to detail adds up to a blanket that looks and feels better.

Which size and weight did I review?
The original label photo shows a 12-pound blanket measuring 48 by 72 inches. The historical pricing paragraph discusses a separate 10-pound option.
What stood out about the stitching?
I found the small stitched pockets helped limit bead movement and gave the blanket a more consistent feel.
What does the fabric label say?
The photographed label identifies the shell as 100% viscose made from bamboo. It lists microfiber polyester and glass beads as filling materials.
Did I prefer using a cover?
I preferred using the blanket without one because attaching and removing a cover felt cumbersome. The blanket had eight loops for attaching a cover if desired.
Why did I like the storage bag?
The zippered bag with handles made the heavy blanket easier to put away neatly and keep clean between uses.
