This review is mostly focused on the idea of a weighted blanket. In the 3 days we have had the blanket it seems nice and well made. It is soft and overall of "apparent good quality." If the blanket somehow explodes and burns down the house or something crazy we will update our review, but from here on out it is focused on the concept of a weighted blanket.
We bought the 15 lb version for adults 130-160 lbs. The Wife is 5'2" and 100 lbs and is VERY claustrophobic, she didn't want to try it. Our bed cost more than my car and she still tossed and turned constantly. The idea of a weighted blanket scared her and the price made me cautious to try it. She normally would sleep best in a state of constant physical contact. She doesn't have any other anxiety or other social issues, just constantly moving around while "asleep."
The blanket doesn't feel heavy when you are laying down, but is somewhat heavy to move around. She keeps the blanket 2/3 of the way up her body and leaves her arms free to avoid feeling trapped. Since she only kept 2/3 on her body, it also might make sense that it was designed for a heavier person than she is. She was politely cautious about trying it. 3 nights in the verdict is very clear, "Best sleep of her life." We have tried multiple sleep aids, nothing has ever gotten a better review than "It helped, but didn't fix my problem."
As the husband, one of my primary house duties was to "snuggle" her from the moment she was tired, to the moment she woke up. I have been completely replaced in this job role. If she buys a robot that can do the dishes and take out the trash, I might find myself on the curb as well.
Pro's: 100% delivered on the better sleep promise.
Wish we had tried this years ago.
Compared to so many other things we tried that didn't deliver 1/3 of the results this "expensive" blanket is actually one of the cheapest "sleep aids" we have tried.
Cons: Probably not a great idea to put in the washing machine often, so you need a Duvet. Buy one made for weighted blankets so it can be tied down inside the duvet cover properly.
Probably need to be washed all by itself.
It's hard for a small person to move without it dragging everywhere.
