ZZZhen Weighted Blanket - High Breathability - 48''72'' 15LB - Premium Heavy Blankets - Calm Sleeping for Adult and Kids, Durable Quilts Grey, 48''72'' - 15LB

06202022 UPDATE!!!! It has been about 4 years since I first ordered this blanket and it is still in perfect condition I have hawed it multiple times, not a single thread has worked loose. The beads are still intact inside the blanket. i have recommended this to a huge amount of friends, a few who actually got one and they loved it too. I'm going to order another 10 pound one, it is hot in the summer, but with my restless leg syndrome, I really need this blanket to get a good night's sleep. THis blanket is a worthwhile buy for anyone who needs help with their insomnia. 03/12/20 UPDATE!!! This blanket is great, I have washed it at least 6 times in a commercial washer and dryer, and it is still holding strong. No unraveling of the seams, no loss of any of the minuscule glass beads. I have cats that sleep with me, and they do their kneading thing, not so much as a single snag. I haven't had issues with waking up from tossing and turning, the quality of my sleep is just as good as when I first got this blanket. I would recommend this blanket to anyone who suffers from insomnia or anxiety. My job is pretty stressful, and using this blanket has literally made me relax to the point that my mind can actually shut down. Some have mentioned that the blanket is heavy, well, yes, when you fold it up to take it someplace, it is heavy, but that's because the weight is all in one place, once it's flat, the weight redistributes as it should. 05/2019 UPDATE!!! I went ahead and actually washed this blanket after my cat coughed up a hairball on it. I took it to my local laundromat because they have the commercial machines capable of handling the weight of the wet blanket. Well, let me tell you, this blanket held up just fine to it all. I dried it at he laundromat also, it only took 16 minutes on a medium heat. Three was no loosening of the stitching, no frayed edges, it came out nice and fresh and smelling great. Depending on the type of washer and dryer you have, you could probably do this at home. I did wash it with other bedding, it came out of the washer relatively dry from the spin cycle. If you do it at home in a top loader, I'd just watch for the blanket to unbalance the drum. As far as my sleep, it's still great. We are in the summer months here where I live, and it can get a little warm for me, even with my a/c on, but I tend to run hot physically. Usually, all I have to do it stick my arms out from under the blanket and I'm fine. I love this blanket, and have recommended it to many of my friends who are insomniacs like myself. ********************************************************************************************************************************** I read about these on a Facebook group I belong to, and many people were recommending them. I've been an insomniac from birth, and constantly would toss and turn and wake up all night. This blanket has made a HUGE difference in my sleep. Some say it feels like a huge hug, and it does. I no longer toss and turn, and while I still wake up, the quality of the sleep I'm getting is totally 100%. I got the 15 pound blanket, a little lighter than what is recommended for me, but I also suffer from night sweats, and wasn't sure how this blanket would effect that. I have wakened only once sweating, but I don't think that was the blanket, I think it was just my body. I keep my house cool, about 68 degrees year around, and this blanket keeps me warm and snug. I have another light quilted spread on top of it, mainly to protect it from my cats, when I do get warm, I simply remove the top cover. The quality of the blanket is also excellent. It has smaller squares than some of the other blankets, the beads are smoothed out in the squares. The stitching on it is complete with no loose threads. The material is really soft, it's cotton and breathes well. This one is supposed to be washable, they drying is what will be the test since I use a public laundromat, so the weight of the wet blanket may be a bit heavy for the dryer, but time will tell. Overall, I am really satisfied with this blanket, and have already recommended it to friends. I have NEVER slept this good in my life, I wish I knew about them years ago!

Due to changes in my life, I have been struggling with obtaining restful sleep for a long time. It was quite frustrating to toss and turn all night and simply watch the hours on the clock melt away knowing the upcoming workday would be physically and mentally rough as a result. Desperate to try things that weren’t medical based to help my situation, I learned about weighted blankets. It seemed worth a shot. I wasn’t sure what weight to go with it what brand, so I decided to for a relatively lighter weight, and randomly picked a brand such as this blanket. When the blanket arrived, it felt heavier than I expected. I then spread it out on my bed. It looked nicely made and I found no defects. That first night was interesting. When I placed it over me, it was actually a bit unsettling. Being this is actually on the lighter side of all the weighted blankets available, I thought it was too heavy. I definitely wasn’t used to it. And found myself immediately questioning if this would work. That first night was a bit rough. However I stuck with it and eventually fell asleep. Honestly, I got to sleep a little better but did not think it was due to the blanket. The second night was different. I once again place it over me and I guess I got used to the weight. It wasn’t as shocking. I was still a bit unsure how it would help me sleep. But I had fallen asleep and woken up with a greater sense of rest. After the first week of using the blanket, I definitely found myself falling asleep and getting actual rest. I could now track my sleep and note I was doing much better than before. It’s been about three months now and I simply love the blanket. I actually look forward to sleep as the blanket is so comforting and definitely helps me get a good night of sleep. I can’t imagine not using it now. I think this weight is perfect (for me). I can’t imagine going with more weight as that might be too heavy. But I guess everyone has their own idea of comfort. TL;DR: these weighted blankets really do work. Give them a try.

My son has special needs and struggles with anxiety and ODD, and he used to wake up every 2–3 hours during the night. Since using this weighted blanket, it has made a huge difference. The weight helps calm him, and now he is able to sleep through the night for a full 7–8 hours. The blanket is very soft, comfortable, and breathable. My son tells me it helps him feel calm and secure. I’m very grateful to have found the right product for him, and it has truly improved his sleep and overall well-being.

For starters I ordered this on the 1st while it was in stock and it didn’t ship till the 11th and got it 2 days later in a crushed box with clear packing tape missing on half the flap. Most likely amazons fault and not the seller but thought I should mention as the blanket was free to bounce around in the oversized box. The bag mine came in wasn’t even sealed w the cheap plastic zip top and had visible wear like it had been thrown around a bit. Upon first inspection there were no leaks that I could see and it’s right on at 20lbs and fits the bed per stated measurements. One thing that seemed odd for me was that one end of the blanket has almost no pellets inside in the top 2 squares - not sure if this is by design or error in manufacturing. After the first night was it the best sleep I’ve ever had? Honestly no I didn’t notice much of a difference if at all. So if you are buying for a sleep miracle this might not be it. But that’s just my experience and others seem to benefit more. The blanket seems for the most part average in material and free from any defects (other than a few loose stitches - see picture). It does have small loops to attach a cover - I noticed there were several questions about it so I included a picture for you folks. For paying what these things cost, double stitching would have been nice as your one small snag away from having an absolute mess to clean up. All in all it’s exactly as stated at the time I purchased. Hope this helped some of you.

I got this weighted blanket for my uncle and he is absolutely in love with it the price was amazing and he sleeps better now that he has it!

I sleep deeper and easier with several heavy blankets, but they are often too warm and bulky. This blanket provides that relaxing heft without too much insulation. It is not hot. I’m using it over a thin cotton blanket and a top quilt in a bedroom we keep at 65 degrees. I am especially pleased with the amazing Prime discounted price and the great quality. I like that the quilted sections are smaller (about 4 inches square) than many other blankets, allowing for fluid handling and, I assume, less shifting of the glass beads, which are so small (similar to fine sand) that I hardly notice them at all. No loose bean bag sensation. Because of a second, interior lining, the blanket feels more like one quilted piece, although you can feel the glass beads with your fingers if you try. I'm 5'3", 130 lbs, and the weight feels snug, but not overly compressing. I think a 20lb blanket would have been too heavy for me. No problem turning onto my side while under it or moving it around when needed. Folded up, it feels very heavy, but when spread out, the 15 pounds over its 24-square-feet equals just over a half pound of weight per square foot (think the weight of a standard bag of dried beans). The blanket is well made. The stitching is strong and the fabric is high quality, smooth and nice to the touch, but not overly sateen-ish. I've had no problem with it slipping off the bed, but I do fold over about 6 inches along the length on the middle side of our queen-sized bed and don't allow lots of overhang on the outside edge. It stays put. I've slept under it for four nights and notice that I wake less often in the night and get back to sleep quicker. My only dilemma now will be when I travel, as I can't image sleeping so soundly without it! Highly recommended.

Frankly, the price on this thing is a STEAL. I don't know what it is about being under a heavy blanket, but I've never slept better. I love this thing. I cannot stress how much I love it. I like the smaller squares, they keep the beads where they should be, and prevent them from shifting too much. It is HEAVY, however. I mean...it's a weighted blanket, it's supposed to be, but lugging this thing around is a small workout in and of itself. A couple notes, however: It's not super soft. You'll want a duvet cover for it. Fortunately, there are tons on Amazon. They cost almost as much as the blanket, but given how much I was saving compared to others on the market, I was okay with this. Picked up a bamboo cover and it's nice and cozy now, and not too warm. It IS still warm, though. I mean...look folks, this is a double-layer blanket with a bunch of glass beads in it. Realistically, there is no way in the world it is going to be a cooling experience. I have AC, so it's not an issue, but if you aren't fortunate enough to have it in your home, you might want to re-think the weighted blanket in the summer thing. Overall, though, I couldn't be happier. If you're looking for an affordable weighted blanket, this is probably one of the best options out there.

Soft! You will not get hot with this blanket.

Excelente

La manta en si está okay, aunque al contrario de lo que dice en la descripción, las perlas de vidrio si se desplazan y se acumulan más en ciertos lugares que en otros, pero si la sacudes un poco parece acomodarse. Es algo angosta, definitivamente es para uso personal. La puse en mi cama matrimonial y no llega hasta las orillas. Tiene un peso agradable y la verdad es que si ayuda con la ansiedad, así que si eres una persona ansiosa que requiere sentir peso para dormir, la verdad si la recomiendo. Creo que incluso podría haber comprado una más pesada (soy delgada y peso 50kg por si a alguien le sirve). Lo que si no vale la pena es la funda: para amarrar la manta a la funda tiene unos cordones donde se hacen nudos, el problema es que están hechos de un material que hace que los nudos se deshagan fácilmente, y con que se deshagan uno o dos se desacomoda todo y se vuelve icomodisimo todo y hay que volver a sacar la manta para resolverlo y es súper agotador. Al final puse la manta directamente sobre mi colcha y así ha sido mucho más agradable, solo tendré que lavarla más seguido supongo. No sé, a mi parecer la funda no lo vale, no paguen más por eso.

Very comforting

Me ENCANTÓ el producto. Desde que lo uso, duermo mejor porque siento que es un abrazo y me atuda a estar más tranquila. No la recomiendo si vives en un lugar caluroso o sin AC. Eventualmente espero poder comprar la funda

Love this so much. Perfect weight. I take it everywhere. My sleep has improved since using it.
