Weighted blanket

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….?

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

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

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.

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...

that is good

Great news Shinamae. Very pleased to hear that.

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

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!

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

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.

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…?

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

Just off to bed with much trepidation…?

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.

I have just unpacked it and put it on my bed, blinking heck it is heavy so will be taking the advice of putting a top sheet under it as I cannot see me changing that very easily. Will be back tomorrow to report on how I slept…

PS. Shinamae Just a tip - as I have low energy and did not want to have to keep struggling to take the cover off to wash, I use a top sheet on my bed and put the weighted blanket on top of that, so I only need to change the sheet each week which saves faffing around.

Great idea, thank you so much ?

Sleep well Shinamae Zzzzz

My Koala blanket has arrived, just got to put it together now ?

Same as Sparklefizz, I have a Koala one, which I love. You need the largest size.

I adapted a double duvet cover as a spare cover for it - as I thought they were so expensive and I never use the warm velvet side.

I don't sleep any longer, but the quality of my sleep has improved. That's so valuable to me. I bought an Emma mattress last year (when they were on offer) and that was a good investment too.

This isn’t really an answer but many years ago when duvets were not “the thing” I used to have so many blankets on my bed because I felt I needed the weight. Took ages to make my bed. When duvets came in, my mum was thrilled but I sulked as felt they were too light. Didn’t want one. Then I got Married and we got a duvet. I got used to it and never looked back but I still Remember how I loved the weight of those blankets! So go for it, if it helps.

Thank you all for your comments and condolences. I don't like being hot in bed so not sure placing loads of blankets on top of each other will make me sleep lol. I will ponder on it. Happy Christmas everyone x

The weighted blanket doesn't actually make you hot. It's the weight that's soothing and calming.

I have just ordered one from koala and it looks like I’ve got quite a good deal, fingers crossed it works for me as I am a very restless sleeper and hopefully this will help
