Our verdict · A well-reviewed, removable-cover blanket that undercuts the premium brands without feeling cheap.
Buy it if
You want most of the benefits of a cotton-backed, washable-cover blanket with more weight options, but at a mid-market price.
Skip it if
You specifically want a big-name sleep brand's finish and warranty, or an all-cotton construction throughout.

The Mela is the value pick that makes the premium brands work harder to justify their price. It uses anti-rustle glass pellets in a pocketed design to keep the weight even and quiet, with a 100% cotton cooling underside and a soft quilted top, plus a removable, washable cover. Crucially it comes in a wider spread of weights than the Simba (commonly 4kg, 5.5kg, 7kg and 9kg), so it is easier to match to lighter or heavier bodies, and it is stocked across mainstream UK retailers. The trade-off against the Simba above is finish and brand aftercare rather than core function; against the budget Silentnight below, you gain the removable cover and more weight choices for roughly double the outlay.
The good & the bad
Pros
- Noticeably cheaper than Simba, Gravity and Baloo
- Wide weight range (around 4kg to 9kg) suits more body weights
- Cotton underside and removable, washable cover
Cons
- RRP and sale prices vary widely by retailer, so timing matters
- Less premium finish than the higher-priced cotton specialists
