Buy it if
You want the widest choice of weights and sizes and a plush, warm cover, and the brand name reassures you.
Skip it if

Gravity is the name that launched the category, and it still offers the widest weight ladder here, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12kg, across two sizes (135x200cm and a larger 150x220cm), which makes it the easiest range to fine-tune to your body. Glass microbeads sit in small chambers for even distribution, and the removable cover has 12 loops to stop the weighted insert shifting inside. The catch is construction and value: the insert blends cotton and polyester (roughly 68% cotton, 32% polyester) rather than being all-cotton, and the plush/velvet cover is warmer and less breathable than the cotton rivals, so hot sleepers should weigh the Baloo below. You are partly paying for the brand, which is why it sits behind the Simba and Mela on value despite strong features.
The good & the bad
Pros
- Widest weight range here (4kg to 12kg) and two sizes
- Cover clips to the insert with 12 loops to prevent shifting
- Removable cover with a cooler summer-cotton option
Cons
- Insert is a cotton-polyester blend, not all-cotton
- Plush/velvet cover is warmer and pricier than cotton rivals
