Weighted Blanket for Adult

I thought 20 pounds was good for me. I'm 5ft 11in and 230 pounds. So, by the percentages that they call for, 20 should be good. I think it's a bit heavy.The fabric is not as soft and comfy as they make it out to be.It gets a bit hot.But I must say, it does calm me.

My seventeen year old son loves it. His anxieties cause him sleep issues, but with this, he actually sleeps. Now, if they can make a weighted homework co.oleter that would work as well as this...

The children's home requested several of these weighted blankets. I sent around Christmas. Hope it met the children's need.

I have never slept better. It's like being given a blanket hug! I love the cooling aspect.Have recommended it to everyone

Taking some getting use to but my daughter loves it I find her in my bed lounging so much I bought one for her only bad part is I had to buy a queen for her full size bed and not many color options for a teenager. So ours match.

My daughter recommended this to me - and then we read the hilarious comments that the elderly (I'm 71) might have anxiety using this. I've had quite the opposite - I seem to sleep more soundly through the night. I'm also prone to getting hot in the middle of the night - and have slept cool and comfortably to my surprise.I really can't compare this to anything since it is my first weighted anything - but except for some sloppy stitching, this seems to be a great product.

Since I’ve purchased this blanket, I’m sleeping so much better. I’m waking up much less during the night and waking up well rested in the mornings. Great purchase!!

I can't comment on the "cooling" part as it is winter and I'm using it with one other blanket to keep warm. I live the feeling of the weight on my body, and I feel like my body stays asleep better under it. The fabric is soft, and I'm very sensitive to fabrics.

*Update: seller has contacted me 3 times bribing me to delete review. At this point it’s harassment. All 3 times I’ve reported it to Amazon but nothing is being done.The description of the blanket on Amazon is:“ Weighted Idea Weighted Blanket Calm 20 lbs 60''x80'' for 180-220lbs Individuals (100% Natural Cotton, Grey)”This blanket is NOT cotton, it is POLYESTER. See image attached.Also tiny shards of glass come out of it and get all over your bed, must be fun getting one of in your eyes.Ineffective communication from sellers and nobody including platform seem to care about lying. I just found funny that the seller updated the name of the product to not include “cotton” in description, but all of the other info still claims it is. Want the real deal? Save a bit more and get the real deal like Hush, Gravid etc. Want to pay cheap, you’ll get cheap.

EDIT:An update on this review. I was sent an email from the company that provides this blanket stating that if I completed a review on this item that I would receive a free cover for it. Therefore, I immediately created a review and sent the company the proof that they requested. This review was created around July 19th, 2019, it is now August 29th and I have still not received anything from the company or any other form of communication. I am very disappointed that the company would not hold up their end of the deal. Even though my previous review still remains for the product, I would no longer recommend this certain company to my friends and family due to their customer service and marketing techniques.I received this blanket yesterday, and I am already in love with it. Where I live we are in the peak of our summer and it was very breathable. I fell right to sleep, and didn't wake up once throughout the night. I woke up feeling well-rested for the first time in a long time. I suffer from anxiety and I can see the weight helping greatly when my anxiety peaks. 100% would recommend this product to anyone! Love it!

Purchased this for my boyfriend who moves a lot during sleep and wakes me up every time, (seriously, a lot!) and used it two nights so far and he’s really liking it since he can actually sleep soundly and he doesn’t wake me up! Love it! **photo is a queen mattress with 60”x80” 20lb weighted blanket with no cover on it, I layer the sheet, the weighted blanket, and then a duvet over top.Ps, I think washing this thing would be a nightmare. 20lbs plus water weight? That’s called a washing machine breaker. Probably best to wash by hand by soaking in a large laundry room sink.

I bought the weighted blanket for my daughter and she loves it!The blanket is soft and and the weighted sensation is so comforting but doesn't make you too warm when you're laying under it. She has noticed that she is able to fall asleep faster and sleep deeper throughout the night. She highly recommends this product.

Almost immediately after putting the blanket on, the bed was covered in what could be described as sand or grit. The small beads that fill the blanket seem to slowly leak out. There is no hole anywhere, and they just leak out from every part of the blanket. Having animals on the bed, and these beads sticking to their fur, I'd be worried what happens when they groom themselves and ingest them.
