The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Bearaby launched in 2018 from Brooklyn, New York. Maya Dorel founded the company to make weighted blankets. The brand built its reputation on hand-knitted, washable weighted blankets using organic cotton. Each blanket takes thirty hours to knit by hand. Bearaby became known for rejecting synthetic fills and automated production. The blankets retail between three hundred and five hundred dollars. The company expanded to other sleep products but remained defined by its knitted original. Today Bearaby operates across North America and Europe. The brand ranks second globally in the Mattresses & Sleep category, appearing across 21,133 tracked brands.
