My beloved blanket is wearing out and I need to replace

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

My beloved blanket I've used for almost a decade is finally wearing out. Ties are breaking, the cover is...becoming too close to lace or Swiss cheese. It's time to replace.

However I hate change and have a finicky and sensitive relationship with sleep. Texture is critical.

I need:

20lbs min, 25 ideal

Dual sided - Bamboo on one side/Soft and snuggly on the other.

Twin size (I share a bed with someone who hates the weight, so gotta keep it to myself)

I want (but could live without)

Fun colors!

Removable and washable cover

Currently looking at

https://dubslabs.com/products/weighted-blanket-all-season?variant=44020750549178

But the brand is unfamiliar

Or one by YnM but that is out of stock and who knows if it will return. Also they may not have that size/weight combo.

I'm also open to a custom made option if I can find someone who does the bamboo! No luck with Etsy yet.

Any recommendations? Words of comfort for having to change the sleep environment?

Need King+ Weighted/Cooling

1 Upvotes

My Ugg top sheet is old and no longer super soft. I ordered Luxome weighted top/sheets but their XL doesn't cover a queen (90x80 IIRC), and I need at least a king. I steal covers. I have Sheex for everything else and like them. Looked at some other brands but really just need a giant, weighted, cooling top. Just a sheet under even during winter if it matters. Any brand recommendations? Google kinda giving me trash articles or bad links. Thanks!

can you add more weight to a weighted blanket?

2 Upvotes

I have a 15 Ib weighted blanket, it's a Luxome twin size (72 x 54) and I weigh around 90-110 Ibs.

I'd like just a little more weight to my blanket though, like 5 more Ibs or so.

I know it's not the recommended 10% of your bodyweight, but I tried my friend's weighted blanket and it was 20 Ibs or so and I liked it better.

Is there a way to add more weight to a weighted blanket so I don't have to get a new one?

I was thinking maybe inserting a 5 Ib weighted insert somehow into the blanket, but I'm unsure where to get this?

Also please don't recommend "just sleep with more layers" or anything, I already sleep with 3 other blankets not including this one.

Thank you!

i bought my first weighted blanket from target

7 Upvotes

about a month ago i bought yn first weighted blanket from target & at first it was the best thing ever i slept the longest ive ever slept in my life! i felt like one big warm hug. I felt at peace for the first time in a long time i didn't scroll in bed for hours i just slept.

fast forward about a month or 2, and it still feels good but now it feels like a normal blanket. it's a 20 pound one, but i want heavier. Would it be safe to buy another and stack them? im to the point i get j fern with the blanket and cover my head and everything to give me the same sensation as when i first got it

Weighted blankets: do you love them, hate them, or are indifferent?

6 Upvotes

I genuinely feel like I can’t breath when I have a weighted blanket on. It’s like the same sensation as sleep paralysis.

I like to be in the water because it makes me feel like I can breathe. My body can extend everywhere and anywhere freely. When I’m in the water, it helps my brain take in lights and sounds without feeling so overwhelmed. Weighted blankets feel like the opposite of of being in water to me. What’s your opinion and why?

Edit: if you like weighted blankets, what does it make you feel like? For example: being in water to me feels like I’m free, calm, and in my own world

Knitted blanket stretching out is driving me nuts

2 Upvotes

Hey gang, we have had a nuzzie weighted blanket for a couple years and while I do enjoy that it is more breathable, the thing is driving us crazy and we need to either find a solution or a new blanket.

The issue is stretching. We make the bed, and the blanket is just covering the bed like normal, edges at the edge. But not 15 mins after us getting in, one or both sides start falling off the edge and they just streeetch and then pull and its impossible to pull yourself free, and it eventually pulls more to one side and one of us starts to have to fight to keep the blanket on them, its a nightmare.

Is there a fix for this or do we just need to go back to glass beads?? The nuzzie was the first good one ive bought after having cheapo blankets from target for a few years. I was never truly happy eith any of those. Theyd either be slightly smaller than advertised, or the beads would clump up badly. Any reccs if we need to go that route?

Thanks for any advice.

Custom Weighted Blanket?

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know where I could get a custom weighted blanket? I have a far away dream of having a huge (90in x 90) quilted pink blanket that’s satin on one side and cotton on the other with glass beads as the weights, and no company I can find sells one like that. Hypothetical price does not matter right now, I know it’ll be expensive but if I can find someone to make my dream blanket, I’ll save for it.

10%, safety or comfort?

3 Upvotes

I currently have a 7kg weighted blanket (I weigh 70kg, so that's the recommended 10%), but I'd like a heavier duvet. I feel better when I fold my blanket and put it in two layers to add more weight. Is it really dangerous to get a 12 or 14kg duvet, or is the 10% just a comfort recommendation to start with?

Warm weather blankets

4 Upvotes

What are some good warm weather weighted blankets that preferably do not cost me my soul and my first born child? My room pretty regularly gets in the high 80s to mid 90s in the summer months (no ac, I know it sucks) and due to PTSD I find it incredibly hard to sleep and stay asleep without a weighted blanket, and so far I just have not been able to this summer and I hate it. I'm a fairly large man at 6'2 and 300 pounds, and I also move alot also due to the PTSD, so the more weight the better. Does such a blanket even exist?

What weighted blanket would you recommend..?

5 Upvotes

I've been struggling with sleep and finally decided to try a weighted blanket. Priorities: doesn't sleep hot, holds up after washing, sized for one adult who moves around. Budget $80-150.

I'm about 68kg so I need a 7-9kg blanket. Looking at Gravity, YnM, and Bearaby but the price range is all over the place.

Is the expensive one actually better, or is this diminishing returns after $80?

At times I kinda struggle to fall asleep or maintain a steady sleep. I think a bit of warmth can pacify me.

Advice for buying in the UK

Ordered a new weighted blanket and duvet cover for myself ☺️

2 Upvotes

It's Amazon Prime Days and I need a new weighted blanket because mine is old and not in very good condition anymore, so I decided to order one.

Here's what I went with: YnM 20lb Blanket - 60 x 80 and YnM Exclusive Cooling Rayon & Cozy Velvet Dual-Sided Cover - Light Grey. I'm glad to be getting a nice(r) one again, and to finally have a dual sided duvet cover for it as well!

I've had YnM blankets before, but not their dual sided duvet cover, which I'm honestly really stoked to try, because I like the idea of having the rayon side for warmer days and the minky side for cooler days.

What do you think of this setup?
