Let me start by saying I actually weigh about 20 pounds more than this blanket is recommended, but my weight is more fluffy (wouldn't say I have muscles at my current 230 pound weight, but that is part of my underway resolution!) I have been using this for 3 weeks, every night. It does take me a good bit of EFFORT to move this blanket around on my twin sized bed. I have included a photo so you can see how little this "queen sized" blanket hangs over the edge of my twin sized bed, for reference. I like that the final surrounding row (pouches in the quilt, if you will) are empty/nearly empty to reduce weight right there (sides, bottom and top, where potentially could be too much weight on neck OR along sides/bottom try to pull the blanket off the bed). In the middle of the night if I wake to go to the bathroom, I do feel like I am getting a mini workout just to leave and re-enter the bed, because of the weight of the blanket. Work stress and life stress with caring for my mom, I'm just not sleeping well and finally decided to get a weighted blanket. I always joked I needed a blanket with chain mail inside, but the expected noise put me off. This says there are glass beads inside (can't tell, but maybe) and there has been no shifting noise at all in the three weeks I have been sleeping with this blanket - SILENT BLANKET. I expected this to feel "snuggly" based on other reviews and other products, but instead I liken it more to the comfort that is given to a pet when you put them in a loud sound (lightening), calming type jacket/wrap. The first night sleeping with this weighted blanket was weird, I may not have moved the entire night (I toss and turn: all over the bed, laying on either side, back and even stomach at times). Using this weighted blanket, I don't get the fake-human comfort another actual person would provide, but then I also don't have to fight them for the covers, space, etc. in the bed. If I were in a larger bed than my twin bed, sharing my bed with another person, each of us would need our own blanket, in my opinion. While in a situation where two people are sharing a normal blanket, the normal blanket lofts over the space between the two people - instead the WEIGHT of THIS blanket is going to bring the blanket down, leaving less usable coverage space between the two people unless they remain co-joined the entire time sleeping, which is very unlikely. They say you can wash this blanket, but I will NEVER do so because of the weight. This will only ever get spot cleaned, not that I have yet gotten anything on m blanket; my blanket remains clean. This blanket weighs 20 pounds, is filled with tiny itty bitty glass beads according to description and feel, and should that break apart in my washing machine, it would be like bringing 20 pounds of sand from the beach and putting it in my washing machine - never going to happen. Washing machines cost too much and a blanket is relatively cheap to replace comparatively. I went with the 20 pound grey color because weirdly different blankets have very different purchase costs both when I bought it 3 weeks ago and still now, gray (on sale right now for $34.99, regularly $45.99) was a lot less than the navy and blue color that would go better with my comforter, but they are asking $58.99, regularly $69.99 for Navy and Blue color, with the top price being $79.99 regularly (rose color isn't on sale, yellow on sale asking $75.99). As you select colors, keep an eye on the SIZE and WEIGHT as there are LOTS of different options so you are comparing similar. It is sort of weird that there are such price differences between fabric colors, most of which are same color on both sides (but not all). Now that I know I really like my blanket, I do wish I had paid more to get colors better suited for my basic bedroom decor, but I told myself 'gray goes with everything' so I know I will just live with this color because it was cheaper. All in all, I am happy. I am definitely spending more time SLEEPING when I'm sleeping, and that was the whole reason I bought this weighted blanket. There have even been a couple of nights where I slept the entire night, not even getting up to go to the bathroom, which I didn't think I was physically capable of doing since it had been so many years getting up at least a couple times each night. I may have the added benefit of building a little more muscle strength using this weighted blanket, but muscles are needed for healthy living, so also a plus. If you are reading this far into my review, then just get it. I'm very satisfied, so I am giving this 5 of 5 stars. In case Amazon comingles my blanket's review, here is my blanket's description: yescool Weighted Blanket for Adults (20 lbs, 60” x 80”, Grey) Cooling Heavy Blanket for Sleeping Perfect for 190-210 lbs, Queen Size Breathable Blanket with Premium Glass Bead, Machine Washable I hope my review helps someone else.

I live in my car full-time, sleeping bags were just not enough and I hate how they crinkle about when you move. I wanted a blanket to rule them all, and eliminate the need for multiple layers of blankets to stay warm in 29/30 degree weather. This one did the trick, not only is the color(I got yellow) beautiful but the weight of the blanket is perfect!! It’s a heavy blanket weighing in at 20 lbs, but not to heavy that I can’t fold and store it daily. Which I do because… I live in my car and have to pack everything away for the day. It did the trick!! I was not only toasty warm, but the weight of the blanket felt like someone was giving me a hug all night long! I was sleeping fitful until this blanket got here, I felt as a snug as a bug in this one. If you live in your car and need one blanket to rule them all! Trust me get this one! Well worth it and awesome selection to choose from

I've tossed and turned and fidgeted in my sleep since I was quite literally in the womb, which has always effected my overall quality of sleep. As someone with ADHD it makes it incredibly hard to get a good nights sleep and even after sometimes 10+ hours, I would still wake up groggy and unrested. Got this bad boy and the first night I got the best 8 hours of sleep I've ever gotten, beat my alarm clock by an hour and didn't feel like King Tut emerging from his pyramid after 3 thousand years. The 20 pound one is just heavy enough to keep you from tossing and turning too much and also doesn't boil you alive. Best money I've spent so far this year.

I was skeptical about this at first. With anxiety and ptsd i had heard about this but thought i would probably feel suffocated and would just hate it. Gave it a try, and its actually super relaxing. When you feel like you carry so much weight, its crazy how laying this on yourself kind of makes you feel weightless. I like to wear it more when im sitting down, rather than sleeping with it over me. But its heavy enough to really feel, it has been pretty calming using it so far. Only downside is one whole side is super itchy because the stitching and material feels like a bunch of tiny plastic straws sticking out, so if your putting it on your skin, its pretty uncomfortable for that.

This blanket is such good quality. It truly is heavy and conforms to your body like a big hug. My husband has problems sleeping and this blanket has been a lifesaver. We went with the navy blue color and it is true to color. Its also very heavy but a light blanket and does feel like it has a cooling effect.

With my anxiety this has helped so so so so so so so so so much!!! It has the cooling feature and helps when I am running hot but feel like I really need that additional weight to function. I honestly think this is the perfect size for just me and allows me to sleep with it easily. I do think it may be a portion of why I wake up with slight back pain but I it's helpful and does everything I need it to.

i bought the adult Queen size 20 pound Heavy blanket. i was afraid it would be too heavy but its perfect. It really does weight 20 pounds, i held it as i stepped on the bathroom scales, right at 20 pounds additional. Just the right weight though. Your body is only under a small portion of the whole blanket since it is spread out over your bed you are feeling less than the 20 pounds but still a nice snug feeling. I like the snug feeling and prior to this blanket i would add more blankets but then i would get too hot, with this Heavy blanket it is comfortable without the added bulk of the additional blankets. Very nice sleeping.

I purchased this gif my daughter as a Christmas present… she said it’s the best Christmas gift she got. She sleeps so good now. I might have to get one for myself.
