Weighted Blankets Plus LLC - Made in USA - Adult Large Weighted Blanket - Light Yellow - Cotton/Flannel (72" L x 42" W) 16lb Medium Pressure.

I am very sad like want to cry, I was very excited for my blanket. The weight just goes to the sides not on top of me which is the main goal of these blankets :(

I did a lot of research before this purchase and I was still a little skeptical about the reality of it working.It is really not often I like being proven wrong. This blanket has been the best purchase of the year (and if you had any clue about my love affair with Amazon, you'd know what a big deal that is).On a serious note. I suffer from a high-severe general anxiety disorder (GAD) which means high anxiety or a panic attack can strike out of the blue for absolutely not logical reason. I crawl under this weighted blanky, practice some good deep breathing, and within minutes I'm usually calmed down, and by calmed down I mean heart rate of 116 dropping to 87 between 7-10 minutes. That was not something I could do with just deep breathing and visualization and all the other coping tricks and mechanisms I've learned over the years.And I don't know if it's part of the calming or not, but I've noticed I'm falling asleep much quicker at night than I had been for a good 6-9 months previously. One should never underestimate the wonder of consistent good nights' sleep!

After having slept with this blanket for a few weeks, I can say with absolute certainty that I love this blanket. I sometimes get severe anxiety and huddling up under this blanket when I feel an attack coming on works wonders for calming me down as the weighted glass beads emulates a full body hug. I was worried it wouldn't be long enough as I am 5'11" tall, but the blanket covers me from my toes to my shoulders!My main gripe with this blanket is that the fabric is a lint/hair magnet, so buy a few lint rollers to keep it looking new in between washes. I also wish the bead pockets were sewn into a quilt-like style as when I move around under it sometimes the bead pockets seem to clump onto one side.Overall: this is a very high quality blanket and the improved sleep quality it provides is definitely worth the price tag. Highly recommend!

I took a long time to research the right blanket before purchasing a 20# one from this vendor. So glad that I did! Really great workmanship on this item. All of the mini pockets are individually sewn closed, feels a lot like sand. The profile says that it is glass beads, so unless you opened one up it would be hard to know what it is. But I can say that there is no odor which is great, I had previously purchased a blanket made of plastic pellets (PVC) and I was so sensitive to the smell even after airing it out for a week that I couldn't use the blanket. I wish there was a removable duvet for the blanket, because the texture of the material seems to want to have fuzz stick to it. I placed it in my own duvet to protect it. I weighed the blanket and it is indeed 20#, helps calm me down after a stressful day. Wasn't successful at helping me with night terrors. But does feel comforting when it is on.

I am an adult with Aspergers and have sleep difficulties because I have weak proprioception. (That means that I don’t know where my body is, which makes me bump into things and I have to look at the ground when I walk.) This blanket makes me feel “grounded” because the slight pressure on my entire body tells me that I am in bed and safe. Now that I use this blanket I sleep through the night, and do far less tossing and turning. I also don’t tangle my limbs beneath me in an effort to feel them, so I no longer wake up with pins and needles in an arm or leg that is “asleep.”It is winter now so I can’t comment on how hot the blanket will be, but it has no insulation - just weight. Some reviewers stated that the weighted beads all slipped to one side but I don’t know how that could happen because the quilted pockets confine the beads to a few square inches.I weigh 150 pounds and purchased the 16 pound blanket.Overall I love this thing and feel it was well worth the price!

It really is amazing how much this blanket is helping me sleep better! It is well made and I love that it's not puffy - that the glass beads result in it looking just like a regular blanket... until you pick it up! ;0) I am 128 lbs and bought the 14 lb blanket as recommended. I just wish I'd purchased a heavier one. I've ended up doubling it over and that gives me the perfect weight but then it's a little short on both sides. I wish I'd gone to Walmart first to check to see what a 14 lb blanket feels like because they let you return things for free but this company has a 12% restocking fee plus you need to pay return shipping so it ends up being over $30 to exchange for a different weighted blanket. So I decided to just keep mine. Maybe one day I'll learn to sew and add to the edges. It wakes me up once in a while when it slips but as soon as i adjust it I fall right back to sleep - something I never did before. I can't recommend these blankets highly enough!!!

Great blanket. I had bought another competitors product but it arrived damaged so I decided to try this one based on all the reviews. The product arrived flawless and my wife loves it. It was easy to machine wash and dry (took about 3 trips in our dryer but it didn't leave any damp spots like our comforters usually have). I ended up ordering a 2nd, heavier one, for myself. I did however return the heavier one because I learned I throw blankets off me in the middle of the night. But it did feel nice falling asleep with the weight. Weighted blankets are just not for everybody... i'm one of those weird folks I suppose that likes the feeling/idea of the weight but in the middle of the night throw blankets off me (drives my dog nuts lol). It's definitely a great buy and I would recommend it to anybody. As I said my wife absolutely loves hers.

This blanket is beyond fabulous!! The weighted feel helps you stay grounded. It's comforting. It took a couple days of getting use to it...but now I love it. I wish it wasn't so expensive though... or I'd buy an extra. It seems to be well made. The glass beads are in individual pockets and none have come out. There are two different types of fabric on it. One side is flannel like, the other like a typical sheet. I switch sides depending on if it's cold or warm outside.
