Quility Weighted Blanket for Adults - 20 LB Queen Size Heavy Blanket for Cooling & Heating - 100% Cotton Big Blanket w/Glass Beads, Machine Washable Blankets - 60"x80", Navy

I’ve had Insomnia since I was very young (probably started around age 5 and I’m now 44)! And I also have Anxiety. Terrible combination and many hours (scary to even verbalize a modest guess on how many hours I’ve laid awake while the world sleeps!Anyway, I’ve tried every “trick” in the book to best insomnia. But the Insomnia triggered Anxiety and my sleep quality was horrifically beyond poor! Meditation, yoga, exercise, no caffeine, eating healthy meals early (not eating past 5:00pm, practicing good “sleep hygiene”, Melatonin.....etc.!I had read a lot about Weighted Blankets and I researched brands and read hundreds of reviews, asked people questions about their experience with them and finally decided “why not”, I’ll order one. I was pretty skeptical and I thought it was all just a “fad” and had little hope it would work.Guess what? It has honestly been one of the very best investments I’ve made in my journey to beat Insomnia! 😴 💚😃 No more nights of counting sheep 🐑!In all seriousness, I won’t say the blanket miraculously “cured” my Insomnia or Anxiety, but it’s a powerful tool to help lessen the severity of Insomnia and Anxiety.Pros:1. Superb quality!2. Glass fillers. (Important! Be sure the blanket you buy is filled with glass beads)!3. Exact weight for me (follow their recommendations on the weight of the blanket in comparison to your weight). Don’t go too heavy and definitely be sure it’s not below the recommended pounds for your body weight!4. Beautiful color choices!5. It comes with a cover that protects your blanket and you simply remove the cover to wash/dry and your good to go!6. You can order more covers from Amazon and I got a coupon for a good percentage off the regular or sale price.7. It is heavy, but it’s NOT hot!Cons:1. You will be so comfortable that you will repeatedly snooze your alarm! 😴😂🤭2. It’s a bit of an investment initially.3. It’s not a blanket I’d recommend sharing with your partner (I wrap mine around me.4. It’s heavy, so moving it isn’t too easy! I take it off my bed when I make my bed in the morning and grab it when I’m going to bed for the night. (Remember, the blanket may be 15, 17, 18, 20 pounds, etc.)!The “cons” really were hard to identify as I think this blanket is fantastic and I tell everyone to buy one!And NO I wasn’t asked to write a review nor was I ever offered anything to write it. I just know how much this blanket helps me and I wanted to share it with all of you!

I was first drawn to the idea of a weighted anxiety blanket at my dentist's office. I had noticed that when the weighted vest was placed on me for dental x-rays, I immediately felt calm.My sleep has been benefited by the comfort and weight of this blanket--a coddling effect. Also, to my surprise, I like the pebble finish of the duvet. Rubbing my hands along the bumps has a kind of acupressure effect--very soothing...like a kid rubbing a teddy bear.The Quility brand frankly wasn't my first choice. I had to return a similar anxiety blanket with duvet cover from Mr W on Amazon. That's because even though 15 lbs is considered an acceptable weight for a 5'2" 130 lb person, it didn't feel like enough weight was on me for the calming effect. (Hey, it's an individual preference.) Since Mr W didn't have a 20 lb blanket, I opted for this brand instead. Both have a duvet cover.If there is anything to quibble about, it would be the length of the inside ties that connect the duvet to the blanket--they are rather short--barely enough to do very small, tight bow-ties, using very flexible fingers. I think the ties would be a non-effort if they were just a few inches longer. . If a version 2 comes out, it ought to have velcro ties (like Mr W's product) instead of tie straps. Still, I didn't downgrade the rating just for that reason, because my emphasis was on finding a reasonably priced 20 lb with duvet covering.A matching duvet is a must-have. Washing a heavy-weighted blanket would likely cause a need for a new washing machine. Instead, the duvet can be temporarily removed for delicate-cycle washing and drying.As to size, I bought the queen size for a queen size bed. It covers the surface, with no overhang. I think an overhang would cause the blanket to slide sideways due to the weight. This blanket just lies atop, moves very little, and is easily straightened in the morning. (I have TWO quilts below it, I like warmth. Folks who prefer a cooler bed might be better off with a light-pound version. )I've been using it for about 3 weeks...enough for me to know that I'm glad I'm using this blanket.
