I'm getting a weighted blanket for my birthday

And I'm going to CRUSH the anxiety away!!! Can't wait.

That's awesome. I have two of them. They do take a little bit to get used to. I thought mine was incredibly heavy at first and I didn't like that but that was only the first time or two I used it. You quickly get used to it and it begins to feel like a gentle hug.

I got mine from mosaic weighted blankets. They are not super soft to the touch. The blanket has pockets sewn into it with little beads inside those pockets to weight it. The material is light so you don't get hot while under it. They do have some that have covers on them and some with softer materials but they will make the blanket warmer. The material isn't hard it just doesn't have the softness of a fleece blanket. Sometimes what I do if it's cold out is put a fleece blanket on me and then put the weighted blanket on on top of me. @Bleed

Thanks. I’m in the UK so the blanket being warm is less of an issue.

@Bleed mine is from gravityblanket.co.uk. I believe "promo10" will get you 10% off :)

My niece had one when she was younger. It does help kids with anxiety

Lucky. I’d like to get one to help me sleep better. I’ve been struggling since my long term relationship ended suddenly. I figure the weight would feel more like a hug while I sleep

@Bleed it does feel like a hug. It also makes me feel safe too

I didn't know they made those! Are they uniformly heavy, or are the weights sewn in in a pattern?

@VeronicaPrincess the blanket has pockets sewn into it all over the blanket and is weighted with little beads so it sounds kind of like a bean bag when you move it but the weight is very even across the whole blanket

@rokrchik1211 Thank you!

What is that?
Medelan · 31-35, F
@JoyfulSilence it's a blanket with weights in it, supposed to be very good for anxiety etc

@Medelan I prefer loose stuff. Also, I prefer turning up the heat rather than adding another layer or replacing one with a thicker one.
Medelan · 31-35, F
@JoyfulSilence ah ok. I like a very cold bedroom but very warm covers
