Its not too thick, quite heavy at first but you get used to it.
If you like a bit weight to help you sleep, stop your knees from jumping. Also good so the other half can’t attack you in the night. you need a small crane to remove this.
I bought this product due to long term insomnia, having heard of the benefits of weighted blankets.
Since using this blanket, I have noticed an improvement in my sleep pattern. I am waking up less often in the night and when I do wake, I fall asleep more easily than I did before.
The blanket itself is heavy but not enough to restrict movement if you really want to get out from under it, the material is soft and feels well made, and the neutral colour goes well with my existing bedding.
It did get slightly too stuffy when placed over a winter duvet but I found swapping the winter tog for a summer version improved this significantly.
Would recommend for anyone looking for a non-medical alternative to sleep issues.
Says king size but does not fit over a double bed because of this it does not keep the warmth in. Has helped sleep and the weight is good just wish it was bigger.
Great product for anxiety and calming. However , can get slightly uncomfortable at times when sleeping due to the heavy weight. But has improved both my anxiety and sleeping pattern! Would recommend
I’ve had the super king for a month, thought that would be a reasonable amount of time before reviewing it.
The blanket is the exact dimensions of a super king and doesn’t over hang at all at the edges, so need to keep that in mind.
The blanket is pretty heavy when held as a single piece but when it’s over the two of us the weight is extremely comforting.
I use a fitbit often and wear it during my sleep, I noticed a significant increase in recorded sleep quality when we started using the weighted blanket. The main thing I noticed would be that it really minimised my fidgeting and I was able to fall to sleep faster.
The two downsides I didn’t expect though, unlike a normal blanket it is next to impossible to kick the blanket down the bed if you accidentally drag it up by rolling. The other is if the other person pulls it whilst rolling over, say goodbye to your side of the blanket. I think the second is mostly down to the blanket not being designed to hang over the edges so there is no surplus to defend.
Finally, the blanket adds a surprising amount of warmth, through this cold spell in Jan ’21, I’ve not used anything else other than this blanket.
Ultimately, I would and already have recommended this to friends.
Treat yourself if you love sleep.
Nice , comfy and cosy blanket. When I used it for the first time it soft touch and keeping warm ability is the feature I like the most about it. Worth trying it.
I love this weighted blanket warm and cosy, very comforting still getting use to sleeping with it but this will take time as I am also on medication that disturbs my sleep. Definitely would recommend this item as I am an autistic adult with mental health issues.
The customer service that I received from the company I bought it from was awesome because at the beginning I had an issue with it not being delivered. But contacted the seller directly explaining that I still wanted the blanket but had to reorder as it got lost. I explained that when I 1st ordered it was at special price. They were amazing and still let me have it for that offer.
Great customer experience am impressed.
Ordered the king size, however, sizing was slightly smaller than advertised and not the size of a king size duvet, but a king mattress so quite a bit smaller than I was hoping for. Also confused as I wanted to order the cover for it but the same size (in cm) was described as a double!
Overall though quality seems good, having the first night sleeping under it so will see in the morning if it helps with sleeping.
Bought this for my partner for when he stays, as due to anxiety and other mental health conditions he likes a heavier duvet. It works a treat for him! It’s big enough and heavy enough for just him, perfect for what’s needed, and helps him feel settled while using it.
Worth every penny. I’m so god I bought this, ima fantastic.
Great weighted blanket, perfect for my 22 year old who has autism, it is quite heavy maybe could have brought a lighter one but it was perfect for me who as an adult felt really calm when being under i
It was listed as a double but when I opened it, it was a single??? Also, I’m really struggling to find a jay mag cover to protect i
I was never sure about weighted blankets but it really does work for me.
It’s large – covers my double bed completely. It looks light but is so heavy.
I think it helps a lot. I sometimes take a long time to fall asleep or I’ll wake up at 2/3am and struggle to fall back asleep.
I haven’t had those struggles since purchasing this blanket. I fall asleep quite quickly.
I only use it to sleep. During the day I’ll fold it to the end of the bed so that my body associates it with ‘sleep time’. Not sure if that actually does anything.
Great product and it worked for me.
It is difficult to judge as my sleep pattern can change from day to day and week to week. However since getting this Jaymag weighted blanket I do seem to be sleeping a lot better.
The balnket its self looks lovely and is well made. It is heavy to lift. The weight is evenly spread and you would never know that it contains lots of glass beads. All in all it is very good value for a quality weighte blanket. I am happy I bought it.
There was a problem with the post and the item arrived later than expected, however the product itself is very good.
It has improved my sleep quality and is comfortable to use.
Fabulous would highly recommend my son has high function autism and this has been a god send he just loves it and sleeps a good 6-7 hrs now and settles within 15min highly recommend this as I said its fabulous
Purchased for my 6 year old who has additional support needs and sensory issues. He fell asleep so easily and slept great! Waking in an amazing mood. Actually contemplating getting myself one soon. Well worth every penny
I was gifted this blanket for Christmas 2019. I can say that my sleep has improved massively and prefer sleeping under my blanket than without now. It also helps with my anxiety, I have panic attacks and while being under this blanket I found it helped to calm me down as I shake and even helped me get to sleep when it got really bad.
Can’t recommend enough. It’s so easy to keep clean as well and the bag that it folds away into a super easy to carry around.
I love this blanket more than I even though it would!
I bought the 9kg one and it is pretty heavy, but not too heavy. It’s quite a workout if you need to carry it around, but when it’s spread over you it feels grounding and comforting.
The material is a nice smooth grey fabric which is soft and non-abrasive against the skin. The glass beads inside are very evenly distributed, so there isn’t one side or corner heavier of thicker than any other.
My only concern is I’m not sure how it can be washed — I’d imagine it would ruin any washing machine. I think there are special covers you can get that are made to fit, so I may invest in one of them if I find myself using it quite often.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend this blanket to people who prefer to be weighed down when they sleep or lie down. I can get quite anxious and I feel this works of alleviate some of that.
I bought this for my 8 year old daughter to help her to sleep. Even as a baby she wouldn’t go to sleep, getting her to sleep was a battle. Up until we bought this blanket she wouldn’t go to sleep, she’d always fight it, even if she was tired. On a school night she wouldn’t go to sleep before 930, sometimes until after 11pm. The first night with this blanket she was asleep by 930! Which was marvellous for us. She cuddles into her blanket making comforting sounds as though she was pleased to be in bed. The blanket must give her the comfort hug that it’s designed for. I check on her before going to bed and in the morning; the blanket is still on her.
At the moment it is in a single duvet cover to keep it clean. I will be investing in the Jaymag cover very soon.
This is the best thing I’ve bought in years, wished I’d bought one sooner!!
My weighted blanket was only a few days coming.When it arrived I was a little surprised how heavy it was but once I unfolded it and put it on my bed was delighted with the result…a good night’s sleep..
Bought this for my teenage daughter as she sometimes had difficulty falling asleep. Since she has used this blanket she says she feels like she is cuddled to sleep. She’s is a lot more settled.
It is fantastic quality & the fleece cover I bought with it fits perfectly!
At first I was sceptical. But this has changed the way I sleep. I’m usually tossing and turning throughout my sleep, however this has now stopped. I usually get a bad shoulder because I have a bad habit of sleeping with my right arm up above my head. This has helped with this greatly as the weight restricts my arms (in a good way). Give it time to work and you will not be dissapointed. This is by far the cheapest one I could find but it appears to be very well made. With no leakages or dodgy seams!
Bought a lighter version of this for my son who has anxiety. It worked well so bought this for hubby, he now sleeps with it all the time and being on shifts it really helps him to settle when needing to sleep in the daytime.
This blanket takes a few nights to get used to but I am now sleeping better than I have in years! Ever so slightly smaller (narrower) than expected but other than that, it’s perfect!
it was hard to lift it as I am a small oldie lady felt like I was carrying a python up stairs hahha.put on my bed above my own duvet it wraps it self around the body like a big bear hug which I felt very snuggly in. went to sleep for a fw hrs like I do as I don’t sleep long ever .. woke up 7 hrs later I had been asleep all night first time in six months have slept all night since I got it.. don’t know how it works but it does..quite weighty on my legs have got used ot that now.. pleased I came across it on amazon as never heard of it before. I believe their is dog jackets which does the same..
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting any miracles in the form of: “Omg, I slept the whole night through for the first time!” And I was right, it didn’t happen. My first feeling was more like: “Omg, this is so heavy, no wonder people who bought this find it hard to get out of the bed all of a sudden.” :)) It’s been two weeks now and I don’t want to sleep without it ever again. Occasionally I have to, for example, when I visit my parents or when I travel, but this is my holy shelter now and I look forward to going to bed again in the evening from the very moment I rise in the morning. I do fall a sleep much faster and even though I still wake up at night (about twice per night, mostly due to my small bladder), I find it much easier to fall back asleep. The weight of it is comforting, soothing and relaxing. I do recommend that you choose the suggested percentage of your own weight. I weight 130 pounds and I have the 15-pound blanket. It’s not too hot and not too cold. It’s just right and I hope you can enjoy it as much as I do. It’s an awesome “gadget” for us anxious sleepers. 🙂
I bought this for my husband who has been experiencing very broken nights. He loves it! The blanket is very well made. The first night he got too hot so now has the weighted blanket in a duvet cover under his ordinary duvet so the top duvet can be kicked off. It is heavy so takes a wee bit of getting used to. However he finds it really comforting and has slept better since having it.
Loved the softness and comfort once it was put on me it was great until I had to move, way too heavy to move off and put back on when on my own. That’s only reason I’ve down stars cause of it been heavy. Fibromyalgia sufferer
Slept better though.
Gave to son he loves i
Would of preferred it to be slightly longer/wider and a fraction heavier, next weight up may be too heavy but it’s definitely a good starter blanket. I had heard people rave about weighted blankets but cringed at the price of them. This solved that. Let me experience the benefits without committing to a hefty price tag. I use this every night and reduced the amount of times I now wake in the night to sometimes never at all. Only downside is not wanting to get up in the morning as you’re so cosy.
It is so much better than my old weighted blanket: double bed size instead of single, better weight distribution with smaller squares (feels lighter to move, even though it is slightly heavier, because it is less bulky) and so soft.
My communication with jaymag has been very pleasant and helpful. I asked what cover they would recommend for their blanket and they said their ones were not on Amazon yet but they could send me one, it just arrived and is even softer, it’s lovely. Thanks for great product and customer care!
Took a risk purchasing a weighted blanket but I’ve suffered for years with not sleeping, while it does take some getting used to I found in the begining I was falling asleep faster but not for as long but after a few weeks I got used to it while my sleeping is better it’s not where I’d want it to be, it doesn’t feel too heavy I have the 20lbs one it’s been a godsend in this cold weather as it’s kept me nice and toasty warm ( not sweaty warm ) I wouldn’t be without it now and feel for me it was worth the purchase
Son has trouble falling asleep. This blanket has helped immensely! He’s been out like a light since using the blanket. Long Amy it continue !
I bought this as an Xmas present for my partner as she suffers with sleep anxiety and is very easily disturbed whilst sleeping, this had affected our home life to the point where we slept in separate beds. Having received the blanket she has stated she loves it! The weight means she’s tucked in nicely and there is never a draft ect so she’s always warm, her sleep has improved massively and she’s getting much deeper sleep now. We’ve been able to share a bed again which is amazing, she feels more rested and less anxious after using it.
Only gripe she mentioned is that all the beads inside the blanket move so if she turns to one side they all slope to one side instead of having an even spread. Although they are held inside small pockets so this isn’t a huge issue in itself.
Amazing. Was dubious about this blanket working but it is amazing. I suffer anxiety & was going through a difficult spell with it so purchased this blanket as a last gasp attempt to help with sleep. I slept better from the first night and sleep improved the following nights too. Would def recommend.
Very comfortable if you like pressure during sleep. Lovely for me but my wife said it made her feel claustrophobic. Personal choice really.
I’ve had this for about a month and I thought it would be an instant result. The weight of the blanket takes a while to get used to but does help you feel secure. However I think that this is a slow-burner and I am expecting to see positive results over months rather than days (as I was expecting). Also, it is not a ‘magic blanket’ and one needs to pay attention to other aspects of one’s sleep hygiene. Worth adding to one’s arsenal of sleep aids.
I bought the single size. My husband and I sleep with it draped horizontally across us both and we both feel an enormous difference and would miss it if we gave it up. Hubby says I thrash around far less and I feel far more rested each morning. Every member of our 7 person extended family wants one. It is great for power naps. I got a fancy crushed velour single duvet cover to go over it and it looks part of the bed set. FANTSTIC PURCHASE!
I purchased this for my teenage son who has always had difficulty sleeping without ever really knowing why. He just didn’t settle and would wake several times in the night and nearly always wake up tired. This ‘is the most amazing blanket’ were the words my son said after his first nights full sleep. He has been using it now since Christmas Day and is waking up feeling refreshed and ready to go, and in a much better mood, which for me is ‘amazing’. When it arrived I thought it was incredibly heavy but once you spread it out the weight distributes. It is quite soft and comfy. He has chosen to use it under his current duvet rather than on top, but I guess either would work. I would certainly recommend this without hesitation. Long may it last.
I love my new Jaymag weighted blanket. It is so comfortable and warm. I wouldn’t be without it now. Wish I’d bought one years ago.
This has helped with sleep problems. It isn’t a cure but it feels nice to have the security of weight during sleep.
Its heavy which takes a bit of getting used to. But great once you do
If you suffer from anxiety or any sensory disorder, try it. You spend a good portion of your life in bed and while 80 for a blanket is steep, quality of sleep is so important.
I don’t regret my purchase but I feel like it could be a little cheaper. Does seem like good quality stitching too.
It’s so damn comfy though, like getting a nice warm hug from gravity. I do feel much less anxious with it on.
Bought for my sister who has been suffering with anxiety for over a year, been in and out of hospital for six months and then final straw she split from her partner of eight years – she reports to have not imagined coping without out it and looks forward to going to bed and snuggling under her weighted blanket….
Its good, but to be honest I don’t have anything else to compare it too !
They are expensive, but it seems well made.
Not sure its made much difference to my sleep, but I like the weight of it.
I’ve wanted a weight blanket for 2 years and I finaly bought one I am 70kg so was advised to buy a 5 – 7.5kg blanket but I opted for the 9kg as i wanted it heavey
The blanket arrived and I was so excited to try it out first night I was a little disappointed as it didn’t feel heavy enough so the second night I decided to fold the blanked so it was double on me and I loved it, the pressure I wanted but the blanket was then half the size
I put a lot if effort into deciding witch one would be best if me and still got it wrong but i am so glad I didn’t choise the 5-7.5kg one that was recomended as i would have been extreamly didsapointed
I do wish I had ordered the 11kg one so I’d have size and weight but I’ve made mine work for me I do think it’s down to personal preference.
I struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep on average 4-6 hours of poor quality I suffer with anxiety and can’t switch my brain off second night with this and 7 hours of solid sleep (deep light and rdm) not once did I wake up
I am a genuine reviewer, a mum with a 6 year old boy that struggles to settle at bight.
I always like the feel of heavy blankets in bed, they make me feel secure and comfy. When I heard about this blanket I really wanted to get it for my young son who often gets up several times before falling asleep and can be restless in the night.
I was really surprised at how heavy it is, it takes a bit of getting used to, but it really is affective. My son loved it right away and the weight of the blanket seemed to help him to settle faster and he was noticeably less agitated. I have Also use the blanket myself, and personally I love the feel of it as well as the quality and value for money. Highly recommended!
I really didn’t expect this to work but my sleep was so poor that I was ready to try anything. It took some adjusting at first to the feeling of weight but my sleep quality has definitely improved markedly and I find the blanket very comfortable now.
I’ve suffered with bad depression and anxiety since I was 15 now 27, therapy doesn’t work, I hate medication so I did sum research and stumbled a crossed this blanket, First night was abit uneasy kept waking up and was worrying I wasted 50 quid, the next night my body got used to it and I was asleep all night woke up next day well rested woke up before my alarm and got up which shock, I usually hit snooze and always run late In the mornings and refuse to speak to anyone till at least dinner time, my mood was happy happy happy all day, people asked me what’s wrong with me cause I’m usually like the grinch, I’ve had it a week now and I feel amazing, I recommend this so badly
Bought this for my daughter who is autistic, we were quite sceptical but it has really helped her to sleep! It appears to be really heavy when the box arrives and you think it’ll be too heavy to be comfortable, but when you’re underneath it, it isn’t and is very comforting. Would recommend.
I love this blanket, its so comfy. spur of the moment purchase cos it was on sale and so glad I went for it. I’ll be honest, I was sceptical about how effective and/or well-made it would be but it has impressed me on both fronts. Has really improved my quality of sleep. It’s warm but at the same time doesn’t make you overheat like a lot of thick blankets do so you can sleep all night with this and a duvet without having to wake up roasting in the middle of the night to remove your blanket (I do live in Scotland though so if you live anywhere south of there then the blanket alone could be enough for you, unless it’s particularly cold). One word of caution is that it is deceptively heavy so if it’s going to be used by somebody very small or physically weak they might struggle with it. I also enjoy the product description which states this is a ‘non-drug’ product … this was incredibly reassuring as I had initially worried I would just receive a gigantic fentanyl patch with a few bricks tied to the corners. I’ve given it 5 stars for value for money as I got it on sale half-price but not sure I would have bought it had it been at its original price.
I’m an adult recently diagnosed with autism, I bought this to help me with anxiety and to help me to sleep better/stay asleep at night. I’ve been using the blanket since July (3 months now) and never looked back – I wish I’d taken the plunge and ordered this a long time ago. Getting under the blanket brings an instant feeling of comfort and calmness and has helped my sleep a great deal, more than I expected it to. I chose the 15kg one and it really is quite hefty! Anybody with mobility or respiratory issues might want to go for a lighter one, my occupational therapist also told me that weighted blankets shouldn’t be used if you have pressure sores.
I’m really impressed with the quality of the blanket, it’s well made and the weight is distributed evenly. I’ve used this both in summer and autumn, I was worried I might not be able to use it in the hot weather, but surprisingly it was quite cool in summer and is keeping me warm in the autumn – I use it with a fleece blanket to make it a bit more cosy because they’re warm without adding any weight. I strongly recommend buying a cover for this as washing it is a nightmare – it’s already very heavy, imagine that when it’s wet.
Weighted blankets can take a bit of getting used to, especially for people who don’t like change. If you’re serious about wanting one but are worried about not being able to adapt, keep in mind that you are entitled to a refund from Amazon if you’re not happy. Try it out for a few days and see how it goes.
I bought this for my son who suffers from anxiety, especially at night when going to sleep. This blanket has been like a godsend at times. He uses it at night and it definitely helps him fall asleep faster than usual. It’s very soft and comfortable. Great distribution of the beads inside. I’d certainly purchase another.
Well it arrived and got all ready for when i went to bed later and i must say i couldn’t get to sleep and was thinking to throw it off and put my duvet back on but i thought I’ve got to try harder as all new things are different and it’s a case of getting used to it.
5 days on now and i actually look forward to going to bed to git an all night hug from my blanket, I used to get clammy skin with my duvet but no nothing and keeps me perfectly warm just right all night and I’m all ready sleeping so much better than before, I suffer from schizophrenia, anxiety, clinical depression, and more and for me this is really helping my sleep and would never be without it, highly recommended.
I have to say, I agree with all the positive feed back this is one of the best purchases by far. 2 years of my young child having difficult sleep and last night was one of the best sleeps he has ever had. This is absolutely perfect the only issue it can slide off, I guess this is due to the texture of the quilt but this is minor you dont mind as long as you know you’ll get a decent night sleep. Happy with purchase and most definitely recommend.
I have ADHD and find it difficult to relax sometimes as I always feel I have to be on the move. Even when I watch tv, I have to be doing something. It’s hard for me to sit still.
I’ve found that this blanket gives me the sensory input I sometimes need, allowing me to relax much easier. I’ve been sleeping with it on top of my duvet most nights… first few nights I kicked it off, but once I got used to it, it really improved my sleep. I get off to sleep much quicker, and feel well rested in the morning.
I’m a junior doc with a health condition that causes pain in my joints and muscles, with muscle spasms and ‘jumpy legs’ esp my legs and worse at night. Id thought about trying one of these for a long time but most were priced at 150 which seemed a lot for a gamble that might do nothing. Then a friend with the same condition said she’d got this one on offer for 50 and she was sleeping better. She noticed her fitbit showed her getting more deep sleep. I got lucky and got it whilst on offer for 50. Im so glad I did – I fall asleep faster, which is impressive as I usually need to listen to relaxation tracks and stories and my Fitbit backs it up with me going into deep sleep a lot quicker. I have had to take less medication for jumpy legs (spasms and myoclonus) as the weight of the blanket seems to calm my nervous system down. It doesn’t reduce the spasms but definitely settles the jumpy legs quite often. Ive always liked being under a tonne of layers so it makes sense that it would feel good. Its quilted well and I haven’t found it too hot on warm nights (maybe coz of the glass beads filling?). One word of caution – when I have all over achy flu like pain and tenderness of muscles, like a fibromyalgia type pain I find the blanket intolerable. Its not often but worth considering if you have that kind of pain it may not be good, then I do not have fibro so it might be v different for actual fibro. Another really helpful addition to my sleep kit, alongside my snoozle, magnesium and relaxation tapes!
Bought this when it was on offer. Quality was great but it was very heavy. Actually too heavy for our use but that’s certainly not a fault of the product.
I ordered this in the hope it would help me sleep better. I believe it helped me fall asleep quicker, however, I still woke up in the middle of the night and I didn’t fall asleep quickly as some reviews state. Its a good quality product, well made and looks lovely, but I did find that because it’s shiny material, it slipped off through the night and took some pulling back up because it’s heavy.
I was disappointed that it didn’t work for me, but I don’t necessarily think it’s the blanket at fault. Definitely worth a try if you struggle with poor sleep as they do work for some people – just sadly not me.
Purchased for my wife, she opened it on the sofa, laid under it and was literally dozing off in 20 minutes. She uses it every night now and swears by it. Highly recommended
Absolutely brilliant after 20 years of taking sleeping pill I haven’t needed them since the first night I used the blanket. Helps so much to calm anxiety
I never write reviews but I am so happy with this blanket I thought I would share. The quality of fabric and stitching is excellent. The sensation of the weight is very soothing. My daughters love it. (They can’t have it). Normally I toss and turn for some time before sleeping but I fall asleep very quickly and wake up in the same position. Although the initial outlay is more than you would pay for a quilt I am sure it will last for years so is good value. I love going to bed.
I’d been procrastinating about buying a weighted blanket for my daughter for many months. This has turned out to be amazing! She sleeps much better and settles much quicke
This is a very good quality blanket and very fairly priced. I bought it for insomnia and anxiety. I do get to sleep easier and seem to sleep more soundly and it has made some difference in my anxiety though not with my depression, which I hoped it would.
Nonetheless, my quality of sleep has improved and I fall asleep more quickly.
Great blanket, bought for my 12 year old son who suffers from very high anxiety. He has settled to sleep much quicker at night and has a much more settled sleep as a result.
Bought for my 11 year old child who is autistic and small for his age. Was a bit worried it might be too heavy for him, but been looking for one for a long time and they’re very expensive so was delighted with the price of this one and glad I bought it. Its not too heavy, its warm enough, fits into the single duvet cover, and my son absolutely loves the feeling of security it gives him. He is going to sleep a lot quicker and having a much better night’s sleep.
Amazing product at an amazing price. I have anxiety, High Functioning Autistic Spectrum Condition and restleast leg disorder. The blanket really helps. You can put it in a duvet cover to make the covering perfect for you. If it is hot weather I just put it on my legs and have a soft sheet on top. My daughter (1 aged 8) nieces. (4 aged 10, 14,19 and 21) and nephews (11 and 14) cannot stop playing ‘wrap the burrito’ with this blanket. They all get the gravity blanket squash in a quiet room if the get into a bad space.
I have asperges and never knew about these blankets but on reading about them realised why I liked heavy Blankets on me as a child I’m 62 now and was diagnosed 3years ago and I can honestly say this has helped tremendously. It is well made and as some are over double the price this is great value and I highly recommend it.
I bought it for my partner and his problem with restless leg has stopped from the first night he used the blanket. It’s done exactly what we wanted hence the 5 star. It could do with a range of cotton covers or a link on the sellers site to where you can buy from. Really a light cotton cover is all that would make this even better.
Bought this for my partner after recent bereavement and it’s exactly what she needed. She now sleeps so well and it’s an outstanding quality and does what it should. Even in summer not overheating and in winter it will be just as good. 5* guys, great
Thanks.

Great item and not too sure how the magic works – but it does! As well as the feelings of comfort and security it provided, I also found it helped with my body temperature – something I struggle with, under a normal quilt – keeping me cooler in the summer and warm when feeling colder. I would definately recommend inserting it in to a cotton duvet cover, though, as it feels just that little bit smoother against your skin if you do so. I haven’t had the need to wash it as yet, but it does say that it CAN be machine-washed, which I don’t see mentioned on any other of the reviews.
I spent a long time searching for a weighted blanket and decided on this one, the reviews are great and it hasn’t let me down. I struggle with insomnia and relaxation in general, whilst this isn’t stopping me from waking through the night, I am finding I actually feel as if I have slept when I wake, and getting out of bed really isn’t the worst thing in the world! It’s great for days when I feel anxious, and I make everyone who comes to my house try it. I love it.
My daughter (10) has always woken up during the middle of the night and interrupted my sleep. I was tempted to buy a made to order weighted blanket but then saw this. I liked the fact it was a neutral colour and that it was priced at approximately 50. I wasn’t sure that it would work but after reading reviews thought what have I got to lose. OMG, I couldn’t believe it from day one of having this blanket my daughter has slept through every night. Not only is she sleeping but so am I. I put the blanket in a normal single duvet cover which so far has worked well.
Need to get a weighted blanket for mads, but obviously I didn’t think of the weight
When this came, I could hardly even lift it myself to even take out of the bag, but looked good quality from what I could see. If gave it too mads, might of crushed the poor mite; so had no option request return n refund…thnx Amazon.
Mentioned to mads Occupation Therapist, she said that the weighted blankets aren’t designed for using overnight, you only are meant to use them for about 30 mins at the most; maybe an hour in some cases to calm the young person.
Mads Occupation Therapist also mentioned that the weight has to be suited to the individual, b’cs if it’s not…. it could possibly do more damage than good.
The Occupation Therapist is popping across to let us try a weighted blanket to see what size n weight we need
Mads b’cs of challenging behaviour, n me b’cs of stress&anxiety& fatigue.
I bought this to use when it’s too hot to use a duvet, as can’t sleep with just a light covering. It’s heavy but not hot and works very well.
I bought it for my autistic teenager is a desperate attempt to help her with insomnia and restlessness during nights. Oh my god, what a great thing this blanket is! My daughter loved it from the very first try. Now she sleeps under it during night and uses it during the day to ground herself when she feels anxious and restless. When she reads a book, for example, she loves covering herself with this heavy blanket. She describes it “like someone hugs me”. I tried it too (I have no autism or anxiety) and I found it awkward. So, it is not for everyone but has calm effect on people who need to be grounded.
The blanket arrived well packaged in a box. It is the size of a single duvet and fits nicely in a single duvet cover. It is well-made, quality of material and attention to details are great.
I’ve now purchased a second of these blankets. This one is a birthday present for my son, as he enjoyed mine so much when he borrowed it. I find it so much easier to get to sleep when I’m using it, and feel much better rested in the morning. I also use it when listening to meditative music. It helps me relax and still my busy mind. The weights are well distributed and its made of strong fabric.
I have laundered it once , on a hand wash cycle with Woolite, and had no issues. It dried quite quickly, draped over two chairs in the sunshine. The weights didn’t retain any extra water, but it’s is still a bit heavy for a washing line.
It is quite warm as there is a layer of wadding inside as well as the weights. I think it is a very good quality product and great value for money.
I’m delighted! Wanted a blanket like this for a while but most of those I’ve seen were a bit pricey. This one was on sale and I ordered straight away! The blanket in surprisingly heavy (well yes it’s suppose to be), goid quality and overall very pleasing. Had a nap under it today, slept well! It also arrived in 3 days.
Absolutely love this! First nights sleep under it was so relaxing. The weight and size are perfect, i wish i had bought it sooner. Really good quality and would recommend this to anyone
This blanket has made such a difference to my quality of life. There are listed conditions that can benefit from the use of this blanket, but I’m not sure GRIEF was listed. If it was – i didn’t see it. I feel like I’m being held. Priceless.
Thanks to this a lot of my meltdowns and feelings of discomfort have vanished. Where I would previously become so run down that I’d wind up peeling the skin off my lips, scratching myself, hitting my head to wall, I now just wrap myself up in this. It’s like a hug, but better. It clears my mind and makes me feel safe, comfortable. I’m grounded and can better cope with things. Absolutely invaluable in helping cope with some of the more uncomfortable parts of being autistic. It’s also really good for use in the summer! As its not very warm in itself, if you use a light and breathable cotton cover, you won’t feel overheating while retaining comfort of a blanket. While in the winter you can use a fleece cover to help keep warm.
I bought this for my daughter as a birthday present as I know she suffers a bit from anxiety. She told me that she is sleeping much better now since she started using it.
I wasn’t convinced the blanket would make a great deal of difference to my son’s sleeping patterns. We have struggled for many years to find anything to help. However since the blanket arrived he has slept for 6 straight hours several nights running. Fantastic, well worth every penny.
I have had better quality sleep since I have used the blanket and generally feel less anxious. It is good quality and fits into a single duvet cover (I have single size) without moving around in it. I think it is a good buy for thgose that have trouble with their sleep.
I bought this blanket as I suffer from restless legs on occasions, although it has not complety stopped I am sleeping much better. The blanket is heavy but feels very cosy and snug. It reminds of childhood, the use of blankets before duvets became normal use. I certainly recommend it.
I fell asleep at 10:30pm for the first time in years. As it’s not machine washable I plan to put a small duvet cover on it so I can keep it nice for as long as possible. Even though it’s just a single, it covers 3/4 of my double bed. The weight of it is evenly distributed and it is very comfortable. The hoops on the corners of it are a bit too small to hook it over a duvet but other than that I can’t fault it. If you have anxiety issues, I 100% recommended it!
Brought as i suffer fibromyalgia and have done for several years. This weighted blanket helped me out when on a very painful “flare-up”. I had been wanting ine for ages but the price was extortionate until i found this one. I would def recommend this to help give/feel comfort.
A great product. Could be a bit wider so you can double it over comfortably, but so far it’s having a dramatic impact on my sleep.
I suffer with anxiety occasionally and have trouble sleeping. I don’t use the blanket every night but if I am struggling to sleep I lie on top of the duvet and pull it over me. I ordered a single just to cover me as my husband is asleep as soon as his head touches the pillow. I thought I would be too hot but actually its the opposite as the beads in the blanket disperse my body heat. Had some really good nights. Not sure how it works but it does.
I was very happy and impressed with this item. Very comfortable and well made. I was worried it may be hot and uncomforable but not at all. Lovely cotton item, the colour was great too.
I purchased this for my teenager who has ASD, typically they would wake numerous times throughout the night and would have difficulty getting back to sleep.
Night 1: woke once at 2am got back to sleep very quickly.
Night 2: woke at 4 am and got back to sleep quickly.
Night 3: slept through the night without waking. This has now become the new norm which is fantastic
Having always been a light sleeper, but worse recently I was looking for something to help me get to sleep quicker and stay asleep longer. I was a bit sceptical even after reading the reviews but the usual advice for getting a good nights sleep hadn’t helped so it was worth a try. It is surprisingly heavy and did take me a day or two to get used to. However, although I still don’t get a perfect sleep each night, this weighted blanket has improved it overall by at least 80%. I get to sleep quicker at the start of the night and if I do waken up during the night, I manage to get back to sleep again within minutes rather than hours. I am delighted I tried it. Thank you for such a great product.
I have wanted a weighted blanket for so long and was so put off by the high costs, until I stumbled across this gem. I was sceptical due to its affordability but it’s amazing, well made and does the job. It also fits my single bed perfectly, and is light enough to be used with a duvet cover but thick enough to use alone if you get hot at night. It makes such a difference to how I feel in bed, it really is like being in a warm hug. I am living between two houses at the moment and can’t move this from one to the other, and on nights when I am without it I notice its absence strongly. Would definitely recommend this product to anyone, particularly those with anxiety or those who like the comfort of someone else’s weight. If you wear it standing up, it really does feel like a full body hug.
It does seem to be a good quality blanket and it is quite comforting to sleep under it, although not as much for me as I had been hoping. When I am lying flat under it I feel as if I would want it to be heavier, but then it would be too hard to move it around. I do find I use it every night, and every time I have a rest, and I think it is helpful and comfortable, but no great miracles with it for me. Overall I am glad to have it.
I had seen a few websites mention that Gravity Blankets can help you sleep and wondered if they really will help. So I gave in and ordered one. When it arrived, I found it was very heavy in the delivery box, and still heavy when i opened it! The blanket isnt a standard double duvet size as it covered across the bed but not long enough to go over the edges. I used it like a throw over my other duvet.
Due to the weight of the blanket, you do feel snug under it. It didnt feel as heavy on the body as it did when you try pick the blanket up. I normally watch tv in bed for couple hours but genuinely , since using the blanket, I just want to close my eyes and sleep. I have slept like a deeper sleep. I think I will have to test sleeping without the blanket over the duvet to see if there is a difference but I really want to carry on using it.
You really need to order one to try it out for yourself to believe it.
Awesome weighted blanket. A bit smaller than the stated measurements I think but it works like a charm. Never slept so well in my life.
A weighted blanket was recommended for my granddaughter who has (high functioning) autism. She is pleased with it and the sense of security it gives, although she is only a women’s petite size 6, she says it’s not too heavy for her.
Arrived well packaged in a smart box. The blanket is the size of a single duvet (it fits nicely in a single duvet cover) and is well made. It definitely has a calming effect when I’m awake and it has helped some with my sleep. The downside to these blankets is that they are heavy to move around. I’m pleased with mine.
So got this for my disabled child but my other child grabbed it to try and safe to say she loves it. Currently laying under it and it has chilled her right out from a normal hectic self. Definitely recommend getting this blanket.
