Finally, I can say I'm happy with my weighted blanket. It's been several days without my legs bothering me and I've been sleeping well. It can't be a coincidence.
I thought it might help with fibromyalgia as I read somewhere, which I also suffer from, but that hasn't been the case. However, RLS is sooo bad that I've always said that I'd rather have fibro pain than the almost unbearable RLS.
If you RLS sufferers have the opportunity to get a weighted blanket, I advise you to get it.
Hi MicafeGlad your having success with it.
Where did you buy yours from?
Hi smilingjane. I bought it online... Amazon.
Can you share with me the make and the price? 😊
The brand is YNM. The price depends on the size and the weight. Most of them are on sale now on Amazon.
It's much more expensive if you go to YNM website.
I bought mine at Walmart for $49. It's 15 pounds--too heavy for a child but enough for me. It is quite warm, but for me, ineffective against RLS. Am very disappointed.

Thanks for sharing that. Sorry it didnt work for you. Its disappointing isnt in when you pin your hope on something easing the crap that is RLS.
Just goes to show too how we all differ in what works. I have tried almost everything (except the soap!)
The only thing that brings me relief are opiods. 😉
Great news. Delighted you’ve found something that helps.
Would you put a link to where you bought yours from, please? There are lots on the market and it sounds as if yours works - I'm delighted for you - I'm up hourly night after night and would love some relief.
thank you
