Weighted Blanket
 

The 15 pound weighted blanket arrived today. Very interesting concept about laying under a weighted blanket.

When I first laid under the blanket, I thought this is not enough weight, so I folded it in half and then realized the benefit. I didn't want to climb out from under it. I felt a sense of comfort.

These blankets are supposed to produce endorphins and help with calming, sleep. I don't think I will sleep under it as it's too heavy to move around underneath it, even with the 15 pounds. But will use it when I feel un-grounded and need comforting or overly emotional.

I know there is alot of hype about this type of blanket. I know a few people and children that use it. Some have benefited, some have not. It's an individual thing. The write-ups about this, said to give it time and get used to how you feel under the weight.

After my breast cancer treatment, I would pile up pillows on top of me and I have slept that way for a long time. It gave me a sense of protection, especially with a cat that likes to walk across in sensitive places, lol.

It's an interesting concept.

That's great.

Good to hear that you like the blanket. :)

I have one but i keep it in the closet because it is huge.

Maybe I'll get it out tomorrow and use it on the couch when I am sitting --
-- it's hard to lift if I am lying down.

that is so great. I feel so ungrounded.

Hi M ~ good to hear from you *smiles*. Yes, it is heavy. Taking your suggestion and using it while in my recliner. I know I can't sleep under it.

I have one that I'm honestly not sure where its at right now.
I used to keep it on my couch. And I would sleep with it because I'd
just fall asleep on the couch with it. But it was great for the pain from
my fibromyalgia. I loved using it.
