I got my first weighted blanket today, and I have to say, I am loving it! It really is comforting and helpful to anxiety. It makes the chronic muscle aches of fibromyalgia feel a bit better too. I started with a 10 pound blanket, because I could barely lift the 15 or 20 pound ones without throwing my back out lol. Plus, I have always been one that likes a lighter touch rather than a super heavy touch, even with massage and things like that.
I think the 10 pound blanket will be perfect for anxiety attacks, but I might get a little lighter one (6 pound maybe) for daily use, just to sit around with while I work and such. These blankets might really be a game changer for me though! I can feel it already!
If you have anxiety or chronic pain, you might want to look into them if you haven’t already! Of course, they are great for autism too, which was another plus for me. I would also recommend the ones that come with the sherpa fleece covers! They are so soft and cozy!!!
Looks nice.

I’m so glad you’ve found something that works to bring you some relief! The only reason I would want one is in the hopes that it would allow me to sleep uninterrupted for long periods of time, instead of the multiple wake-ups I have every 45 minutes to 90 minutes throughout the night. Also, I run warm, tend to sleep without a cover of any kind, even a top sheet, and I’m on medicine right now that increases sweating, so I can’t imagine being under even the 6-lb. one! But I am really glad that you’re getting comfort!

Actually, they aren’t much hotter than a regular blanket. Some are even made to be specifically cooling. Maybe you might want to look into those ones. I hear they are great for sleep.

What weight do you use?

Mine is 20 lb, and it’s a bitch to lift. I would definitely want something lighter if I was using it for sleeping, but I like to use it while sitting on my bed, with it on top of my legs and the lower part of my torso.

Yeah, I’m glad I went with 10 lb lol. I almost bought a 15 lb one, but am glad I decided to switch.

I like that color pink a lot. I can be funny about pink. I like some shades of it a lot and others not so much.

I tried a 10 lb one a while back to help with sleep issues brought on by chronic pain. It seemed to otherwise work, but it was a heat trap from hell. I roasted in it and had to set it aside.
