furrybaby Premium Weighted Blanket Heavy Blanket for Kids & Adults 100% Cotton Material with Glass Bead (152x203cm - 6.8kg, Dark Grey Inner)

I’ve been using this blanket for a few years and the beads have leaked from pocket to pocket so that it’s very uneven, and impossible to get that lovely ‘weighted’ feeling. And also my bed sheets are often covered in tiny glass beads.

I have been suffering from periodic bouts of insomnia brought about by sleep anxiety (fear of not sleeping, which then prevents me getting to sleep), as well as poor sleep quality overall. I've tried various things but I thought I might give a weighted blanket a go.After a week, it's hard to say for sure if it's helped or not. I've not had much problem sleeping since I've started using it though. That may just be normal though, since my insomnia comes and goes. We shall see.As to the blanket itself, this one had the best measurements at 122cm wide. Others were around 150cm and I didn't want it to annoy my partner in bed.It seems well made. The quilted design means the beads don't move about, and apart from the obvious weight, it may as well be a normal blanket/duvet. I was also a bit worried about it being too hot (I put it over the top of my summer duvet), but it doesn't seem to have very much insulation, so overheating isn't a problem.Yes, it's pricey, but if it works it'll likely last for as long as I will.

Great item, good sizing and it's really helpful to sleep with. The only issue I have with this item is that the threads in each section of the blanket did break rather quickly, so the weigh tends to sink towards certain areas of the blanket. Besides that it's great quality for the price I paid, and I would buy again if the thread was a little more durable

I am really pleased with this weighted blanket. It arrived just 14 hours after I ordered it and my son loves it, saying it really helps him during the night. The outer - made from 100 per cent cotton - is very soft and comfortable and because of the clever design, the weight is evenly distributed so it stays on him, even when he is a bit restless. It may seem expensive but it is clearly made to last as you can tell from the quality and the fact that it is helping my son with his sleep and anxiety makes it completely worth it.

I have suffered with insomnia for about 17 years now, mostly only getting about 2 to 3 hours sleep a night. UNTIL I happened across an article about weighted blankets. Personally I couldn't see how a blanket could help me sleep but, desperate, I thought I would give it a go. And WOW I am now sleeping around 6 hours a night. I don't know how it works or why it works but for me IT DOES. Definately try it.

It's good but I've had it almost a year now and every time I wake up I keep on finding little bits of on my bed from the inside

The cover is so incredibly soft & cosy, the zip up feature is nice, but, the only downside is there aren’t enough loops inside the cover to keep the weighted blanket in place inside & end up wrestling with it to pull the weighted blanket in place again, another 6/8 loops in all along the the ends & sides then it would be the full 5 stars

I'm finding this a little bit claustrophobic ... It's comforting when I'm anxious, but for sleeping under I find it too heavy. This is my personal experience though and will be different for others.
