Weighted Blankets?

[Hoosier_Vol]

I'm seeing these things EVERYWHERE in stores lately, is this something new or the latest Christmas fad? Seems they would be uncomfortable as hell....Am I wrong???

C'mon, bro, don't you want that "swaddled" feel when you sleep?

 

[SDV]

My wife and daughter both have them and love them. I tried them but don’t like the feeling of something heavy on me like that when I sleep.

You do not want one if you are Claustrophobic!

 

[MG1968]

I have a cat, so this is not necessary.

My son uses one for medical reasons. A lot of kids do

I've considered getting one but haven't. I like a good heavy blanket, but not in the summertime.

Stayed at Mt. LeConte lodge during the winter (knew the caretaker so we could go when it was closed). Had to sleep with 6 of those Hudson Bay blankets to stay warm. That was "weighted " blankets.

I’ve heard they can be helpful for people with anxiety. I’ve thought about getting one, but the ones I usually find in king size are kind of pricey.

I do like that lead vest they put on you at the dentist office

No, they are awesome

Not true. I’m claustrophobic as hell and I live my weighted blanket.

I heard women love them

Seems I just wake up in the night with mommas leg thrown across me. Same concept.

I’ve never understood why they need blankets to start with. Ever been with one that’s not like sleeping witn the surface of the sun?

Lucky you! It drives me crazy!

I was given one last Christmas. 10 pound weight IIRC. I like it because it usually stays on me. I live with one of those ladies who locks the thermostat for our bedroom climate zone at 60 from the first sign of spring until we hit freezing temperatures at night. The weighted blanket has replaced one of the two comforters I used to use along with a heavy wool blanket that would scratch me if it got up around my neck or face. I have an irrational fear of electric blankets that makes those not an option.

There's nothing irrational about not wanting to sleep under a blanket loaded with power lines.

I like mine very much. Look for a returned item on Amazon or a flash sale
