Highams Weighted Blanket 6kg for Adults Sleep Therapy Anxiety Autism Insomnia Stress Relief Effect Heavy Blanket, Double - 125 x 180cm

This is a review of Highams Weighted Blanket 8kg for Adults. I purchased this because I had been struggling with anxiety and poor sleep for months, and after reading about the benefits of weighted blankets for deep pressure therapy, I decided to give this affordable option a try. I like to use this for sleeping at night, as well as draping it over me while relaxing on the sofa during the evening to help unwind after a stressful day. What I like about this product is the even distribution of the glass beads in the quilted pockets, which prevents any clumping and provides consistent pressure across the body. The soft cotton fabric feels comfortable against the skin, it comes in a generous 150 x 200cm size that covers a double bed well, and the grey colour is neutral and stylish. My experience using this product is very positive. From the first night, I noticed falling asleep faster and waking up less often, with a real sense of calm and security from the gentle weight. It does get quite warm, which is perfect for cooler nights but might be too much in summer. The build quality seems solid, with no beads leaking after several weeks of use. For the price, it offers excellent value and has genuinely improved my sleep quality. I would recommend it to anyone dealing with insomnia or anxiety.

I love my weighted blanket! I initially bought one for my stepson who has autism and he loved it calms him down makes him sleep much better, i tried it and liked it so I ordered one, i would say although its soft it isn't your snuggly type of soft and would be better with sheets, all round nicely made and of good quality, it keeps you warm at night i ordered queen size which is around the same size as a single quilt so bear that in mind when ordering. If you have anxiety, sleep problems, insomnia etc and you are thinking about buying one i definitely would as I feel so relaxed and can fall to sleep so much easier and sleep longer definitely worth the money, mine is 6kg its very heavy but not uncomfortable (i would actually like mine heavier)

Great value for money, love this blanket it helps me sleep and feels very comfortable an keeps me warm.great quality.

I recently bought this weighted blanket to improve my sleep and provide me with an artificial hug. Its 8kg weight worked, as I’ve not been able to get out of bed for three days. Luckily, I was rescued from my predicament when my flatmate and three friends came into my room and took a corner each. Whilst trapped like a modern-day pharaoh interred in expensive fabric, I was able to reflect on the high thread count and quality stitching of each quilted patch. My only concern arose of the glass beads used to fill the blanket. If there was a fire, would they melt leaving me entombed like a ship in a bottle? Whilst far-fetched, the blanket is so warm that spontaneous combustion presents a real risk, and the artificial hug the blanket provides is most welcoming, as any contact with your bed partner is likely to give you a boil-in-the-bag rice experience. Luckily, the glass beads don’t clink like bottles of beer at a Berlin stag do, so the blanket is quiet during the night. The grey colour works well with existing bedroom furnishings, and will seamlessly match the happy user’s lips after a night of asphyxiation under this weighted blanket. Thankfully, this was all simply a fleeting dream brought about by quality slumber. Highly recommended.

Helps weigh me down and not restricting either.

I usually don't leave reviews, but as I was hesitating to buy this product for a long time myself, I thought to leave my opinion to maybe help someone decide as I am mad at myself that didn't order this earlier. As I said , I was taking my time till I actually made an order as I am insomniac for years now who struggles to fall asleep and to stay asleep, whatever I would try , wouldn't help unless it's sleeping pills. So I ordered this blanket 8kg, (my weight is approximately 68kg) for myself and my best friend who was recently starting to complain about bad nights too. I don't know what kind of magic it is, but we both actually have started to sleep well, I sleep through the night without waking up not even once!! And I fall asleep in minutes too. I don't feel that it is warm enough, I use another blanket on top as I love to be warm , but overall I am very happy with this product. No issues in quality either, I've put the blanket in a cover and use it as a normal blanket to sleep. Can't be happier with it although I've been sleeping with it approximately 3 weeks now, I think I would want eventually go for even heavier one but it is doing the job perfectly. Hope this helps someone as I can't imagine my nights without it now.

Weight is not evenly distributed, but also fabric is quite thin for it's purpose. The rest is ok.

Excelent my aDHD autistic dauther love it

Heel kalmerend !!

I ordered this for myself months ago and loved it so much that I bought 3 more as gifts. I thought it might be too much weight and heat but no. Highly Recomment!

Ich habe diese Decke für meinen Enkel gekauft, welcher ADHS hat . Er litt unter sehr starken Problemen beim durchschlafen. Seit er mit diese Decke hat schläft er Nachts durch. Er ist viel ausgeruhter und auch die Konzentration hat sich sehr verbessert. Ich bin rundum zufrieden und würde sie jeder Zeit weiter empfehlen.

Calda, morbida e comoda! Bella pesante.

Nice weight. A bit too much for me in some situations but as described.
