Aricove Cooling Weighted Blanket, 15 lbs, Full/Twin Size for Adults, Luxury Heavy Blanket in Silky Soft Bamboo, 48x72 inches, Machine Washable, White

I wanted so badly to like this . I don’t !! There is nothing I like unfortunately. First off , it is far far too light to give that necessary hug feel, and I am a tiny 4ft 11 lady . So this was the weight suggested . It is so light, that when I tried it as a lap blanket on the couch,one time , it did not get the desired affect. However ! What I like least , the fabric is slippy and slidey . It’s horrid . I tried it only one night on the bed , and it simply was sliding all over and off my body . The glass beads , kept shifting also. There was no hug , they did not stay where needed. I had purchased the duvet cover. I dislike it as well. It has a course Cotton feel . It is horrid to feel next to the skin . There is no ah from this blanket for me, it is an ick! I am sending it back .

It doesn’t always feel as cool as I’d like and, I’m still struggling with an ideal nights sleep. I don’t believe any product can offer a sleep guarantee! I’d recommend this product before I’d discourage it.

The blanket itself is ok. You must turn on aircon to use the blanket if you live in a tropical climate. The main issue is that the blanket is too heavy and slippery to "stay in shape" in a duvet cover, even with the 4 corners tied down together with the cover. It often ends up piling up to one side. It is easier to just put the blanket on top of a sheet.

I've been researching cooling weighted blankets for a long time - not because I wanted the best on the market, but because (1) I'm desperate for a good night's sleep and (2) it seemed impossible that something heavy could also be cool. It defies logic to me. Several sites said the Aricove was the best on the market for several reasons, i.e., washable, quality of product, great customer service, etc. I bought it because it was one of only a few that came in 10 lb weight and wasn't for kids with a cutesy pattern. I have a Queen size bed but I only needed the blanket on my side of the bed and I weigh 110 lbs. I ordered the Aricove blanket on Monday afternoon and received it the next morning around 7:30 a.m. Amazingly fast delivery. To say I was skeptical was putting it mildly, but again, I'm desperate for a better night's sleep and use everything to help including CPAP machine, Melatonin, Valerian root, keeping my room cool, no caffeine after 8 a.m. - but to no avail. I still wake up once every 1 or 2 hours every single night. My sleep is not a deep sleep and I get up tired every day. I was tired of being tired. The Aricove weighted blanket is extremely well made and came packed beautifully in it's own carrying case and had instructions for use: start by only pulling the blanket up to your waist, relax and breathe deeply, etc., then move it up to your shoulders when you've given yourself time to adjust to the weight. I did as instructed and it felt ok, but since I toss like a fish out of water all night, I was concerned that the weight of the blanket would wake me up every time I tossed and turned and I'd end up feeling trapped and claustrophobic. Wasn't I pleasantly surprised when the first time I woke up was 6 hours later! I've not slept 6 hours straight in more years than I can remember. Shockingly, the blanket WAS cool -- not only was it cool to the touch, but my entire body felt cooler and I never woke up with night sweats like I always do. The weight was perfect and I felt like I was in a cocoon but not at all trapped or too weighted down. All my skepticism flew out the window. It still amazes me that this weight can be cooling, but it definitely is and I'm a very hot, menopausal sleeper. The only negatives about the blanket are: (1) I can't imagine ever sleeping without it now and (2) it was even harder getting out of bed this morning because all I wanted to do was luxuriate in it's snuggleness - and yes, I know that's not a word but it sure fits how I feel under this amazing blanket! PS: I've now slept with the Aricove blanket for over 2 months and love it even more now than when I first got it - if that's even possible. It's much hotter out now, but this blanket still keeps me cool at night. I still sleep through the night without getting up 2-3x like I used to. Cannot say enough great things about the Aricove blanket. Love it, love it, love it.

Bought three queen sized w/ covers @ Christmas for the kids. One 15-lb for 11 yr old daughter and two 17-lb for teenage sons. They love them. I can’t imagine anyone needing heavier than a 17-lb. They really do help you fall asleep fast.
