Bought 3 of the grey 15 lb weighted blankets. They came well packaged. They were thinner than expected. First night we all slept reasonably well being our legs felt weighted/heavy (followed instructions for those who never slept with a weighted blanket)…totally recommend following the instructions for adjusting to sleeping underneath the blanket. I began having trouble sleeping the second night. My legs and knees began to ache and I eventually took the blanket off. My knees felt much better, which led me to believe it had to do with my artificial knees. I believe the pressure from the blanket was too much for my knees. Now I cannot attest and say that other’s who have had their knees replaced, will have these issues, I just know that for me, the weight on my legs and knees does not work. I returned my blanket with no issues or problems from the company. The other two blankets are very much enjoyed by other family member members. The one family member has found that his restless legs has ceased. Also, he suffers from leg cramps quite often every week. Amazingly, this weighted blanket has actually has stopped his leg cramping, and he sleeps very well! Who would’ve thought a way that blanket would do that! Again, this does not mean that others will not have their restless legs or cramping, stop or ceased to a minimal. I can just attest to the family member and how it has greatly helped him . The third family member has really enjoyed her blanket as well. Loves the blanket! I cannot a test to it being waterproof, nor have I washed the blankets or anything else. I can say that the blanket is soft to the touch and does not slide off the onto the floor. The color is nice and will go with any decor, being grey neutral color. Read more
This blanket is a perfect weight to help with sleep quality. I purchased one for my oldest child and then decided to try it for my younger child who has ADHD and ASD and it has been a game changer for both. They love it and are sleeping better and soundly. The blanket is also great because it doesn’t make you extra hot while sleeping. It has a cooling effect. Read more
Super comfortable, looks to be good quality although I did not wash it yet. Does not overheat me, which is amazing since I'm either too hot or too cold at any given minute, much to my partner's annoyance. It helps me get a DEEP sleep. Highly recommended. Read more
It really helped me sleep through the night! As someone who has ADHD sleep latency is a challenge but my average time is 5-9 minutes. The only down side is if you get hot easily the blanket can cause you to sweat. Otherwise I got the blue bear one and it’s so cute! I did wash it on delicates and did dry it in my drier under the smallest heat setting and then air dried. It’s def machine wash friendly if you label it on delicates. Read more
Great product. Cotton material is comfortable and moderate temperature well. Color/patter is perfectly neutral and alternative option to just dark color. Works form my son figety sleeps. Read more
I absolutely LOVE this blanket. I can be cool when it's needed, and if I want to warm up, I just pull a fuzzy blanket up under it. People talk about the weight, I went for a 20 lb weight which seems to feel right for me. I have no issues rolling over or pulling it up. It's not too thick, it's very well crafted, and it's soft to the touch, no need for anything between you and the blanket to keep away the cooling properties. I have this amazing little nest going in my bed and sleep quite well with it. Read more
UpDATE: Nov 12: Sadly, it's packed away. Twin size is 38 inches wide. At average weight of 150 pounds I have the recommended weight blanket. I found even with rolling a bit side to side to "tuck" it around me, it is just a bit too wide to keep on a twin bed. I didn't initially. I have seriously considered double stitching and cutting it down some. BUT CAUTION: the main reason I took it off is the weight! I'm going to be looking into getting a kids blanket - as in 8-10 pounds. My bro-n-law just went to a twin bed. Now his blanket is ending up on the floor as well. The concept is great. But I think allowances need to be made for smaller size to keep it on a smaller bed AND for us older peeps that don't have the strength to deal with the weight. So far, my sister is still using her blanket on a Queen size bed. I am NOT changing my 5 star rating. Those 2x2 pockets keep it well distributed. * * * * * My bro-n-law has a weighted blanket (sis had made for him). After a year of moving it around to wash bedding I started thinking about getting one at Cmas when Penny's had sale. I finally ordered TWO! Giving 1 to sis (she didn't have 1 yet bcs too costly. THESE were great at $65! (Compare to the $200 Gravity) The small squares were the deciding point. Think about it a minute - keeps the fill nicely in place. I've had good sleep since the 1st night! I can't recall the last time I remembered dreaming. I have dreamt every night in the week I've had this blanket! Before I was waking every 1-3 hours. Now pretty much sleep through the night. I WAS A SIDE SLEEPER. Now with a pillow under my knees 3 nights, I'm fine. The pillow stays there til wash day. TODAY I PUT THE DUVET on. Yes, I think the ones with the side zipper would be easier but this wasn't bad. Just turn inside out and start at the top and work from side to side. Take a little care closing the zipper as the ties are close to it - 2 of the 4 were gently coaxed past the tie. (I did tight bows.) I have it between the sheet and comforter. Might just put a duvet on my comforter as well to protect from dog hair. Note: I have back issues from a couple of nursing home injuries. It's heavy enough but at this time I can manage. I don't think I the covers get as messed up as they used to! While doing this review it occurred to me I'm not feeling what had become the usual "ready for a nap" at 2pm! It's worth a try! Hope this helps in your decision. Read more
