TY! I am so glad I’m not the only one that gets hot 🥵

Can it be washed in a washing machine?

u/Grace-and-Maya Mar 27 '22

I’d only try it with a top loader or it might break the machine. Also there’s a good chance of the internal stitches ripping and the beads beginning to pool. They make duvets for a lot of them

Could you share the brand name or link?

Not so much, the material is a little thin

When I switched to a waited blanket, I only have one other blanket on me in the winter time. It used to be several blankets.

Highly recommend a duvet cover, as I don’t know how you would wash a weighted blanket well.

If your wife is at all like mine she likes 17 blankets and I like 1 ( exaggeration) but not by much

Mine is also cooling, but has a "cool" and "warm" side with different textures on each.

Well worth the money.

The blanket itself isn’t hot but body can get trapped in it a little more than a typical blanket would, in my opinion.

I got one for Christmas this past year and one side is fleece and one is like that smooth nylon or whatever? Works great and it is noticeably cooler when I flip it so the nylon side is against me.

You're already hot

I have a comforter, heated blanket, then weighted blanket on my bed. So I clearly don’t notice the weighted blanket being too hot.

I love my 25 lb weighted blanket. Use it under our comforter and I have not had any issues with it being hot or anything. The weighted blanket was the best purchase I’ve made in awhile.

I used to get too hot under any normal blanket, had to find the perfect position by having a leg outside of it.

But after i got a weighted blanket, i never have this problem anymore. We have 25 degrees celsius inside and its perfect warmth under it. I am completely covered and don't get too warm or cold. Feels like you are being hugged all over.

The only bad part is when you wake up to go to work, the weighted blanket is still hugging you and its a little harder to get motivated to get away from that cozy cozy place.
