Weighted blanket recommendations that don't trap heat?

I love the calming effect of weighted blankets but every one I've tried turns me into a furnace. I've heard bamboo and glass bead varieties are cooler. Currently looking at the Bearaby Cotton Napper (knitted, no filling) and the Luna Cooling Weighted Blanket. Any hot sleepers found a weighted blanket that actually stays cool?

The Bearaby Cotton Napper is the answer. Because it's knitted with no internal fill, air flows through it freely. I'm a hot sleeper in Texas and it's the only weighted blanket I can tolerate year-round. Yes it's expensive but I've had mine for 2 years and it still looks/feels great.

Community answers are the lived experience half of the picture. The other half is measured data. Everything below comes from our own lab work in Encinitas, where we record pressure-mapping results, surface-temperature change over an eight-hour night, motion transfer, and edge-support deflection on every mattress we buy. Use the discussion above for real-world ownership detail — how a bed felt after a year, how a brand handled a warranty claim, whether a sale price was actually a discount — and use the guides below to check those impressions against repeatable measurements before you spend money.
