Weighted blanket

My daughter had one at Christmas. I was surprised how heavy it is. Too heavy for me, though I do like a fair bit of weight. We have two single duvets, with a king sized heavy bedspread on top, but this was much heavier.

It doesn't feel too heavy once it's spread all over you.

Just off to bed with much trepidation…?

I hope you manage to get out of bed in the morning.

Well, it still took me more than two hours to actually get to sleep but once asleep I did sleep through.Early days yet and I do think the blanket was very expensive but hopefully it will prove it’s worth…?

After first reading this post I decided to give one a try.
Probably a bit heavier than I need and double size. Quite amused that the Amazon box it came in had been opened- probably someone thought with that weight it must be worth stealing!!
I actually love it -it has stopped me tossing and turning during the night and although I wake up to use the loo as much I do go back to sleep more quickly! It does sometimes feel like I’m being held down but I would highly recommend it.

I bought one for my SIL who has fibromyalgia, he says it’s greatly improved his sleep.

My daughter has autism and we have found these pretty good. I have a funny story though, they accidentally delivered to a neighbour and I went round to fetch my parcel and she stood there talking to me and i thought bloody hell, I'm sweating, this is bloody heavy but carried on talking and started to feel a achy and when I got home realised I wasn't terribly unfit, it was just the weighted blankets!

Have had it on my bed for three nights now, got a sheet in between because otherwise I would never be able to change the cover! Still taking me over an hour to get off to sleep. BUT once asleep I am sleeping right through! ???????????? So I would say definitely a good investment

Great news Shinamae. Very pleased to hear that.

that is good

just taken delivery of 2 kuddly blankets hoping they will help my anxiety-prone DD to get a better night's sleep - got the 2 blankets for 89£ so thought I'd give them a try. if not can be returned within 30 days - fingers crossed! Now where is that sheet to put underneath...

I was given one for Christmas. Huge improvement in my sleeping I’d recommend. I still can’t believe when I wake up that I’ve slept all night.

Over a week now and I have to say it has really improved the quality and quantity of my sleep ?

I'm really pleased to read that Shinamae as I am always raving about mine!

And it’s just getting better and better. I slept right through last night, didn’t get up once even to go to the toilet, absolutely amazing….?
