higly recommended for nervous people like myself

After much contemplation and a thorough investigation of weighted blankets, I finally invested in the Brentfords Weighted Blanket, and let me tell you, I wish I had done it years ago! This 8kg (17.6lb) blanket has completely transformed my sleep experience, and I'm eager to share my thoughts. Having endured high levels of stress over the past five years, my sleep routine suffered greatly. I often found myself tossing and turning, unable to find comfort. However, the moment I draped this weighted blanket over me, it was as if I was being embraced by a giant, comforting hug, the kind you get from a beloved monster. This sensory experience is unlike anything I've encountered before. One of the standout features of this blanket is its thoughtful construction. With a cover made from 100% polyester and filled with non-toxic micro glass beads, it satisfies my concerns about safety and comfort. The material is incredibly soft, and I appreciated that it is both breathable and durable. I found myself drifting into a deep sleep almost immediately, no longer waking multiple times during the night. In fact, I wake up in the same position every morning, a clear sign that the blanket's soothing weight is working its magic. In terms of size, the Brentfords Weighted Blanket measures 150 x 200 cm, making it perfect for adults using a double or king-size bed or even for snuggling up on the sofa. The weight distribution feels just right; it’s not overly heavy but delivers the calming sensation that medical experts recommend, a blanket that weighs between 7-12% of one's body weight. This blanket doesn’t just help with sleep; it also brings an undeniable sense of comfort and security, making it a marvelous addition to my nightly routine. It provides immediate relief from anxiety while stimulating those wonderful hormones that promote relaxation and reduce stress. Overall, I cannot recommend the Brentfords 8kg Weighted Blanket enough. Whether you suffer from insomnia, anxiety, or just need a dose of comfort after a stressful day, this blanket is the answer. Trust me; investing in this wonderfully crafted blanket will elevate your sleep experience and bring a warm embrace every night! Don’t hesitate, make this purchase; you won't regret it!

Was used by hubby last night as it’s not quite big enough for us both in a King Size bed and hubby found it too heavy (8kg) each time it fell off him in the night he had trouble pulling it back into place. Didn’t make him too hot but he loved the concept of the blanket but wished it was a tad lighter

My husband has a weighted blanket and sleeps wonderfully so I got myself one, did the research and got one 10% of my body weight. The first night it was heavy but felt like a hug. 2 weeks later I'm getting awful neck pain. The blankets are just too heavy. Another minus for the other lost star is that it's so loud in the night when you move as it's full of glass beads. Not sure how to wash this in my machine with all the beads, I'd be scared to ask they're glass. The fabric is thinner than our other one and as it's so heavy it slips off the edge of the bed a lot in the night. Any ideas how to dispose of these?

It's a weighted blanket, I guess? A lot of dust type particles and solid little balls come out of it and the stitching isn't strong enough to contain the weighted pocket so they've ended up seeping in to one another. It does the job but by no means are these fit for purpose, I strongly suggest you use it in a position that it won't need washing for a long time because it'll probably disintegrate by the time is needs washing

Great blanket, although at 90kg i actually wish I'd gone for the 6kg not the 9
