Does anyone have experience of these? DGS has sleep problems and, reading about these, they sound like a good idea. They're quite expensive though so before I splash out I thought I'd ask Grans.

My GS has one and sleeps better with it-also keeps him calm on long journeys. I can’t cope with weight in bed so it’s not for me.

Koala have probably sold out because they are one of the best, and have come top of the reviews ..... plus I keep recommending them to all my friends blush

Oh I hope they haven't sold out Sparklefizz. My order has been acknowledged and money taken. Supposed to be 3 day delivery.
I wonder where they are manufactured? I hope not China or Italy. DH's old business used to have items made there and imported. Problems now though. sad

Jane10 How are you getting on with your weighted blanket?

Over time I am definitely sleeping better than ever with mine .
Not sure how it will be in the warmer weather ahead .

It wasn't for me. However, my 9 year old DGS who's had lifelong sleep problems now sleeps right through happily snuggled in his Koala blanket. What a success its been!

That’s a good result then Jane10

It’s good that the weight / size that you bought was suitable too for a youngster as it can be dangerous to use a blanket that is too heavy .
