Loving My Weighted Blanket!

I promised an update and here it is... I am hooked! My blanket weighs 17 pounds, so its a little unweilding to get situated, but once in place, it's like a full body hug! The micro-glass beads, pulled down by gravity, fill in all the nooks and crannies between me and the blanket. I at once feel warm, cozy, comfy and strangly very secure! I have slept more soundly for much longer time periods of time. I don't move around as much, so I don't wake myself as often as I did. I feel refreshed, less tired and again secure... almost Zen like! If your curious, give it a shot!

Thanjs fir update. What about body temp?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

They call it a "blanket," but mine is more like "sheet" material. I was a bit disappointed with that at first, but now I like it, as I use it over my duvet! It seems to add the weight with adding extra warmth... I also have a washable cover on mine, but still I'm not too hot. And I can't sleep if I'm too warm! There are all different kinds, I have seen some that look like a duvets, blankets... I guess it depends on what you're looking for.

Glad to hear that it's not too warm- I can get really over heated. Thanks for reporting back- certainly something to consider.

Doesn't sound like me - have to be able to stick my feet out from under the covers... And I'd never get it into place!!!!!

[Hidden in reply to PMRpro]

I do struggle to get it situated, but I count that as exercise as it weighs 17 pounds! 🤣🤣🤣

I struggle enough changing the bed linen!!!

[Hidden in reply to PMRpro]

Hahahahaha!

Takes me fifteen minutes on sheet changing day. I make sure to do this and the ironing when really interesting radio on.

I have bought blanket for my son. They are out of stock for his size at moment, should be available in February. gravid.ca/

Not much choice yet, but they are coming out with cotton covers in the spring, for a "cooler experience" during summer!

I use a cotton blanket and lay it sideways so that my feet are not covered with it. Good light weight for anyone not wanting to be too hot.

I just use my dog.

Cats work just as well.

[HeronNS in reply to GOOD_GRIEF]

Not everyone can have a pet, and some of us don't believe in letting them in the bedrooms. I do confess one of my cats was particularly comforting when I had my broken leg, though. I think she was just happy to have an immobilized warm body to sleep on during the day!
