I'm getting rid of mine. They make my sleep worse!

@Kefira I don't know. I think you could Google and find them. They're tiny tiny.

I googled the weighted blanket and found a site that sold them for autistic children. They had one kind with the glass beads. It said the glass is heavier than plastic and makes the bulk of the blanket less.

That sounds like a good idea. I like a lot blankets too but not to be hot. I wonder though is it safe long term for your health to have 25 lb on you? I feel like it might put undo pressure on body organs?

The entire blanket fitz a queen sized bed so the actual weight on me is a lot less since the weight is distributed across the entire bed. Blankets start at a pound and go up. I just wanted a big blanket so I opted for the heaviest weight the vendor offered.

Check the science. It's actually incredibly healthy and beneficial long term.

Are you in the UK? Thought so by the mention of the £! Found one :D!! Link Removed

So tempted to buy it, but torn between this and putting the money in my therapy pot :p :)

@heyheyhey - was your post here in response to my other thread about weighted blankets?

Looks good - I might try a lap pad first to see how I get on with it before forking out for a larger one.

And yes, I am in the U.K. :-)
