Anyone here use a Weighted Blanket?

[skyactiv]

I'm thinking about buying one. Does it help you sleep better?

Clarification: Anyone's wife use a weighted blanket ?

That said, my wife has put one on our bed and I can tell you some of them are very heavy. Too heavy (for me). I understand the point is to have that weight but I'll bet some are too heavy for some people, some people like it, and for some it's not heavy enough. Definitely try different ones.

I tried one but it gets me too hot. My wife says it helps her sleep.

I don't like the weight AT ALL! I'm already heavy enough all by myself and my hips and shoulders don't appreciate any extra force beyond what gravity already supplies.

I wouldn’t like the weight. A goose down or alternative filled comforter is something on the lighter side that will keep you toasty.

I heard about them. Never tried it. I toss and turn too much as it is. Wonder if this blanket would stop that.

I have trouble sleeping. My wife bought one of me, thinking it might help. It did a little, but it’s too short. I’m only 6’, but I like to cocoon myself in my blanket.

My little one got sick all over it and they’re that not easy to clean well.

No and would never consider one, prefer lighter blankets

I wake up with a faux hawk most mornings I toss and turn so much. The weight blanket helped a little, but not much.

I tried one and did not like it. I'll try almost anything that helps me sleep, these did not work for me.

I can't stand anything more than a light blanket. A weighted blanket would be torture.

I use one sometimes. I sleep in my easy chair on occasion and find it comforting.

Go flannel, not weighted. Or don’t. To each his own.

I don't have a weighted blanket, but I have a heavy goose down. When I say heavy, I mean twice as heavy as a synthetic. I love it, it falls right around meand masks movement by the other half a bit. But it's WARM under there... No heat wanted in the room and I sleep naked. 15C is about right for room temperature. That's roughly 50F. So only used in winter...

Whatever gets you thru the night, it’s alright

Same here. Wife says, what if you have to jump out of bed in the middle of the night? I say, that would be the least of my problems to deal with.

Seems like yesterday.

If you have to wash it, that might be fun,,,in the rinse mode your machine maybe out in the street....

As someone that suffers from anxiety, a weighted blanket does provide a feeling of comfort.

It may seem downright stupid to people that don't experience "anxiety attacks." But don't worry about them. Worry about you.

Yes, it works.

There are also rocking chairs, music, and other things that can help calm one with anxiety. Exercise, yoga, being outside, various things.
