About ColeyBear
Welcome to ColeyBear!
I’m Barry, the proud founder, creator, and driving force behind ColeyBear. Established in 2017, this business started as a passion project to share the comfort and calm of my handmade weighted blankets with others. Little did I know, ColeyBear would one day become my lifeline.
In 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, I was laid off from a 20-year career as an Engineer. Faced with extreme difficulty finding work, I turned to ColeyBear to support myself and my daughter. What began as a side project became a vital source of income and a symbol of resilience. Today, I’m proud to say ColeyBear not only provides for us but also helps fund my daughter’s college education—a dream I’m determined to make a reality.
Our Mission
At ColeyBear, our mission is to create high-quality, handcrafted weighted blankets that support mental health and relaxation. Whether you’re looking to unwind after a long day or searching for the perfect stress relief gift, our blankets are designed to bring comfort, calm, and joy into your life.
A One-Person Dream
As the sole operator of this minority-owned and operated small business, I personally take pride in each blanket, and package every product myself with a little hand written note. Every stitch represents my dedication to quality and my belief in the power of small businesses to transform lives—not just for the maker, but for the people who support them.
