Brentfords Weighted Blanket Adults Teenagers Kids Therapy Sensory Anxiety Autism Insomnia Stress Relief-Silver Grey-125 x 180cm, 6kg(13lb)

higly recommended for nervous people like myself

I love, love, LOVE this weighted blanket. I have one myself (8kg) which has really helped with the quality of my sleep so I bought this one as a birthday present for my dad who also struggles to sleep. The fabric is lovely and smooth, and the weight is evenly distributed across the blanket. The size is perfect to fit into a single duvet cover too so I'm not worried about it being impossible to wash. The stitching/finishing is top-notch too. It really does help with sleep/relaxation and is warm enough that I don't need additional blankets on top. Once under the blanket you can feel the calm setting over you and its much easier to drift off. The blanket is the perfect weight for a single sleeper, and because its sectioned the weight is evenly distributed. Overall I would 100% recommend this blanket for anyone who struggles with anxiety or falling asleep. 5*

I like it but doesn't feel as heave as I expected, only a few squares have the weight the others are empty

I had heard so many good things about weighted blankets, and now that I’ve tried one, I totally get the hype! This blanket has genuinely improved the quality of my sleep and helped with anxiety. The gentle weight feels like a hug. It helps me relax faster at night and stay asleep longer. I’ve been waking up feeling more rested and less restless. I use it not just for sleep, but also while watching TV or reading. It really helps me unwind and feel grounded.

Nice and heavy, very comfortable. Check sizing though as it doesn’t match the typically used dimensions for single and double duvets in the UK. I’d say double size is good for one person.

Suffer from insomnia? ,asthma? . I have been suffering for many years from both . I was recommended by a friend to get one of these weighted blankets. There is a lot of choice on line but reading this one I felt I would give it a try . Comes with its own bag. It is quite heavy to put on your bed, but once on your bed it's fine it's not over heavy on the legs . I love it ,it is just like having a hug as you go to sleep and when I wake up later in the morning I feel I have had a deep refreshed sleep . This can also be used if sitting in a chair or sofa whilst watching TV , my next try when the weather starts to get colder . Thinking of buying a pet version for my elderly dog now. The only negative - it says in the instructions they can't be washed. I have spilt some food on it , got a clean damp cloth , with a little washing up liquid and very gently rubbed the dirty marks. Immediately came out. Didn't over soak the area and it quickly dried. In our local paper some people have used the washing machines and tumble dryers at petrol garages . This would obviously be at your risk due to the glass beads inside.
