The Z-Magic Cooling Comforter is a cooling blanket, similar to a weighted blanket but with the focus being on keeping you cool. It's the perfect accessory for chilling on the sofa but it is also there to promote restful sleep.

In the Z-Magic Cooling Comforter review, we are going to tell you everything you need to know about it and our experience of testing it out. Cooling weighted blankets are used to keep your body temperature down and wick away excess heat.

Review of the Z-Magic Cooling Comforter

The Cooling Comforter is a lightweight blanket that’s great for those who get hot all year round. But even more so for snuggling up on those warmer summer evenings. Sometimes when it’s too hot, the last thing you want is a blanket on you or any extra layers. However, with this one the lightweight design is perfect to bring out when it’s warmer. You can still feel cosy without feeling like you’re suffocating from a big blanket

When testing, I found that the comforter was instantly cooling. It is cool to the touch so you’ll soon cool down after it touches your skin.

The comforter is made from bamboo fibre on one side and Japanese cool-tech fabric on the other. Both sides give that instantly cooling feeling.

What we like about the Z-Magic Cooling Comforter

There's definitely lots to like about the comforter, especially if you're someone who spends the majority of the time being hot and unable to cool down. However, it can be enjoyed by many different people. Here are just a few of the reasons we liked it:

• One of the things we like about the comforter is the many colour options available. There's a colour for every room aesthetic. No matter if you want it for the living room or the bedroom, you will find one that suits your style. We received the dark grey one which is stylish and chic and will work with any colour scheme.
• Another thing to note is how memorable the softness is. It's super gentle on the skin with no irritation whatsoever. It truly is comforting to cosy up with and you'll feel relaxed in no time. The bamboo gives it a silky soft finish that you won't want to stop snuggling up. So, if you want to use it throughout the night, you will remain comfortable all night long.
• It has moisture-wicking properties that pull any sweat away from your skin for cooler nights. This reduces waking up from night sweats and leaves you dry. It makes it a breathable blanket.

What we didn’t like about the Z-Magic Cooling Comforter

It's rare for a product to suit everyone's taste and some people are likely to find something they dislike about it. While we have no major complaints, there are a couple things that might sway your decision on whether to buy it or not. Here they are:

• The first big thing that can be seen as a negative is the price tag. You can find other cooling blankets that are half the price of this one. However, you need to weigh up the cooling ability of this product to see if it's worth it for you. For a lot of people looking for this type of product, it will be worth spending the extra.
• This blanket isn't really suitable for use all year round unless you're constantly hot. Hot sleepers who also struggle in the cooler months will definitely get their money's worth. But, those who just want it for the warmer weather will find it'll spend a lot of time in the cupboard.

Zonli's customer service and company information

Delivery – We experienced a quick delivery from Zonli, and we were very impressed. The average shipping time to the UK is 24 hours, so you won't have to wait around for ages until your Cooling Comforter arrives.

Payment – The standard payment methods are available so there shouldn't be any issue with purchasing. You can even do an express checkout with Apple Pay or Google Pay. 

Online customer service – There is an online chat for any questions you may need to ask, but it is done with an automated message. I still found this very helpful for what I needed to know and got a response immediately. If this doesn't work for you then there is an FAQ page or their Contact Us page where you can fill out a form and wait for a response.

Check the alternatives to the Z-Magic Cooling Comforter

If you want a blanket that is more focused on being a weighted blanket than being cooling, we would suggest looking for an alternative. You can find weighted blankets that also regulate your body temperature so you can get both from one product. Another option we would recommend exploring is the Emma Hug Weighted Blanket. 

Emma Hug Weighted Blanket

The Emma Weighted Blanket is within a similar price range to the Z-Magic Cooling Comforter so you can expect the same level of quality. This blanket has been designed to be thermo-regulating so it works with your body temperature to keep your body heat under control. Whilst keeping the body heat to a minimum, it has a weighted feel that helps you to relax and calm anxiety. The filling has been distributed evenly to apply gentle pressure across your body.

You will be able to experience a comfortable, cooling and calming sleep when using this product.

What makes this product better than some other similar ones?

One thing to note that makes this product better than others is that it's cooling on both sides of the blankets. You will find that most only have one cooling side which is still practical. However, if both sides are cooling then it doesn't matter how much you fidget during the night, you will always have a cool surface on you. 

Some products will only keep you cool for a few hours which can help to send you off to sleep. With the Cooling Comforter, it'll cool you down all night so you won't feel uncomfortable or disturbed while you're sleeping. 

Is the Z-Magic Cooling Comforter eco-friendly or sustainable?

The Cooling Comforter is environmentally friendly due to the materials it uses to produce it. The bamboo fibres have been naturally sourced for the comforter. As far as we know, the cool tech on the opposite side is also eco-friendly but we can't be certain. Their website claims that the whole product is kind on the environment.

Aside from the materials, there isn't much on sustainability on their website.

How did we test the product?

Now we'd like to discuss exactly how we test our products. On a basic level, all the products we review go through these three tests:

• Visual inspection
• Hands-on inspection
• Measured tests

And when it comes to the Z-Magic Cooling Comforter, in particular, these are the exact tests conducted to gauge its quality:

• Wrap ourselves in the duvet to see how warm or cool it is and feel the weight of it
• Look at the smaller details e.g stitching, design and packaging
• See how it feels on the skin
• Directly compared to other blankets

Overall impressions of the product after the testing

The smaller details are part of the experience that can make the product even better. Before trying out the comforter, I had a look at the packaging. It comes in a cute box and inside is a reusable bag for storing it away in the cooler months. While it’s out during the summer, you can use the reusable bag to store other little bits in – any extra blankets, spare pillowcases or anything else you can think of.

Included inside the box is a welcome card with their mission on it. There’s also an information leaflet that has washing instructions, their purpose and their story.

On the comforter itself, you’ll find the Zonli brand label with the quote ‘Make sleep better’. This is with another label with washing instructions – they recommend washing before use. It also includes a couple of washing tips on the label too.

Details aside, it has many factors that make the blanket worth purchasing. In summary, it repels pet hair, is skin-friendly, environmentally friendly and machine washable. As well as the natural properties of bamboo being antibacterial, hypoallergenic and moisture-wicking. The Z-Magic Cooling Comforter has the perfect balance of being a light blanket to keep you comfy without being overbearing.

All-in-all, it's worth getting if you're a hot sleeper or are going through the menopause. But it isn't the kind of weighted blanket for those who tend to stay cold.
