Hiseeme Weighted Blanket for Kids 5 lbs - 36"x48" Throw/Travel Size for Toddler - All-Natural 100% Cotton - Heavy Blanket Glass Beads (Dinosaur)

I have PTSD and never ending nightmares that have kept my sleep restless. I often wake up sore and on the verge of tears from how exhausted I am. I wont lie, the blanket didnt magically fix me, I'm still very sore from being tense all night long, even so, I woke up, for the first time in years, feeling like I had rested; I almost cried out of relief. I feel like another part of my life has been given back to me. Thank you <3

UPDATE 6-16 -19I am raising my rating to 5 stars because over time I have grown to appreciate and love this blanket. I also tried another weighted blanket and found that the I liked this one better. The cotton cover is far superior fabric to the other one I tried. (on the original plus the updated one that the manufacturer sent me. At this point I would give this a 5 star rating, I still feel that it's a bit pricey for what it is, but at $50 it's better quality than others I have tried. This one is the best of the ones I have tried and I will consider buying one in a slightly larger size(for sleeping), and I would also like to get a smaller one to have in the living room as a throw. I also love that this is offered in lighter brighter colors. So many of them are dark grey and it really does not go with any of our bedding. I'm not a fan of the covers either and find using these weighted blankets without them to work best....that is where having a really high quality cotton fabric makes it super comfy. The other one I tried the cotton was so thin that it felt a little scratchy and I could actually feel the glass beads poking me which counteracts the positive effects of a weighted blanket. I am currently very happy with this weighted blanket and the way the manufacturer responded to my issues with smell and other things. I highly recommend this blanket.UPDATE 5-28-19The manufacturer of the blanket contacted me after seeing my comments and said that they had improved these and sent me a new one. Indeed in this one the pockets are smaller. They also got rid of the nasty smell, and this one just smells new. It now comes in a nice zippered case like you might see a comforter in a retail store. Unfortunately the pockets are still unevenly filled with some pockets with none at all and others that I can feel a lot. The tag still does not reflect the fiberfill inside. It also still suggests handwashing. but am guessing this is mainly to protect my washing machine in case a seam opens up. Overall the quality is improved, mainly getting rid of that toxic smell!ORIGINAL REVIEWI wanted to get a weighted blanket to see if it would help with my anxiety disorder. I've been reading about them and waiting because they are so expensive. I ended up getting a kids one because it's just for me and I wanted to use it on the couch or in bed with me. The one I got was 7 lbs.So far I like the weight of it. I did not like it when I laid it on top of me in bed. For some reason that made me feel a little claustrophobic which really is not good for anxiety. I felt like I wanted my legs free so I laid it over my torso and I liked that better. I've been using it for a few nights and I think it's sort of something you cuddle up to or sort of wrap in than just cover up with. I honestly found being covered up completely with this like a blanket to feel too confining but when I sort of wrapped it around my shoulders I did like it. To me how you use it or what you like may be an individual thing. I also kinda liked wadding it up a little behind my back.The reason I only gave this 2 stars is that first of all...out of the package it had a chemical type smell. I have chemical sensitivity so I smell things others are not bothered by, but when I ordered 100% cotton and glass beads I was not expecting any off gassing like you can get with foam products. I wanted to wash it to get rid of the smell but the label says MADE IN CHINA and to not put it in the washer or dryer and not that I would dry clean it(nasty chemicals) you can not do that either. The listing clearly says you can dry clean it, but the label says you can not....It suggests hand washing and I guess hanging to dry.I don't know about you, but who hand washes a blanket? Plus to get something out you want to be able to rinse it and spin the water out and rinse again. I was a bit annoyed that something that is supposedly just cotton and glass beads would not be able to be washed in a machine on gentle or delicate! Maybe the larger ones I would not want to machine wash but this one is smaller. Anyway to get some of the stinky chemical smell to go away I decided to put it in my steam dryer because if indeed it was just cotton fabric and glass beads there should be no issues with that. I had it set on a lower temp and watched it closely. The steam dryer did help get rid of some of the smell. The rest sort of dissipated after 24 hrs.After drying I felt the blanket and could tell there was some stuffing or batting inside the pockets and some of it might be slightly bunched. Not a big deal but batting or stuffing is rarely cotton so obviously there is some sort of poly filling or batting inside the blanket with the beads. The label says 100% cotton fabric and No lead glass beads but does not mention the batting or stuffing. It's obvious something is in there though!The other thing that for a $50 throw size weighted blanket that I was expecting was even distribution of the beads. First off it says they are in small sections and each section is bigger than my hand! I do not consider that a small section. When you hold the blanket up to the light you can see the beads which may or may not be glass(I have a little doubt since the label also says it's all cotton and obviously that's not quite right) Anyway you can see how the beads are filling the bottom of each square. Some squares had more filling than others and a couple had almost no filling at all.Overall I think the blanket is functional, I am just unhappy that for $50 it seems like I am not sure exactly what the blanket is made of. I am guessing that's what I get for a "made in china" item. Also to me the pockets are NOT filled evenly as advertised, and the pockets are also not small. To me the nicest thing about this is the sweet pattern and the outside fabric does seem to feel like cotton. I would not want to put a cover on this and even with a cover, it is going to have to go in the washer eventually. Hopefully it doesn't completely fall apart.I would love to know what exactly is inside of the squares. I am almost curious enough to cut into it and then sew it up, but for now I will just leave it be. Anyway I would rate this a little higher if they were selling it for like $25 and fully disclosed what was inside of the pockets. But as is, while I like the concept of a weighted cotton blanket filled with only glass beads, I am just not too sure that is what I purchased.Thanks for reading my reviewBecky Brooks

Love this blanket. Bought for my 3 year old son who's on the spectrum. It feels like it will last a few years.By the second night I noticed a huge difference in how many times he woke up and next to none tossing/turning.I do want to purchase a duvet cover for it, since it's not machine washable. But the description stated that,so I knew before purchasing. It was in my mailbox in two days of me ordering. Would recommend

After hearing such great things about weighted blankets I decided to order one. I've used this blanket for a week and I am giving it 3 out of 5 stars. I do like having the weight on me when i'm falling asleep, it is calming and cozy. But that thing is heavy as heck, I'm talking I try to roll over at night and have to use my upper body strength to pull it with me. How do people move with these things? Maybe they don't move at night, they just stay pinned under the blanket til morning.Also my dachshund somehow wiggled under it and couldn't get himself out and I had to rescue him.Not for the feeble or elderly that's for sure.Also you can't wash them, they are dry clean only...well duh cause that sucker would break your washing machine and I can't imagine it in a dryer.You could probably fill up a garbage bag with a 20lb of rice and have the same effect.

Nice quality blanket, beads are distributed nicely throughout. I wouldn't agree with the description of the blanket as a cooling weighted blanket because it definitely heats up. It definitely calms my son's anxiety. I actually bought one for myself too.

I really love this blanket. The first night that I was able to use it I slept much better then in many months. I was not immobilized and felt free enough to switch my sleeping position nor was I abnormally warm on the early fall night sleeping under this 20 lbs. blanket The only issue was I ordered the wrong size. I ordered the 60” x 80” as suggested for a king size bed, but once I returned the large blanket and received a 48” x 72” blanket all worked much better. It seems that the blanket should be sized for the individual using it and not the bed unless all occupants are using the same blanket. Again with the smaller blanket I had a wonderful nights rest. For me, this is a solution to a problem due to recent surgery and I am now getting a good night’s sleep. Each additional nights with this blanket seems to improve my sleep pattern. As said at the very beginning I really love this blanket.

I followed the company's instructions and ordered a weight of 10% of my body weight plus 1 lb extra. This blanket was too heavy. I felt smothered. In addition, there were not enough loops on the blanket to attach to the blanket cover made by this same brand. This led to the blanket shifting around in the cover and getting bunched up. Finally, the blanket/cover (minky cover) were just too hot. I tried these a few nights in a room that was cooled to 71 degrees and used the blanket/cover combo with only a thin sheet underneath. I woke up sweating every night.
