Right I'll press the button and order it. Apparently, if it doesn't help it can be returned within 60 days.

I too just have an extra blanket on top of the duvet in winter. Lovely!

Weighted blankets are great for hyperactive children...and nervous dogs!

My insomniac son has found it brilliant, so much so he got one for our grandson who now rarely wakes in the night. They are expensive but worthwhile.

I started a thread on weighted blankets last year. I've got one and I love it!

I have not got a weighted blanket as such but have a heavy bedspread that I use in winter. It does feel lovely with the extra weight, I sleep better with it on.

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.
