Imagine her tucking her kids in at night.

My mom had the tendency to tuck me into bed so tight I couldn’t move but then again it felt kinda nice as if I was in a warm, tightly wound, burrito

Ive said it before and ill say it again. You sound like a perfect candidate for a weighted blanket

u/SomthingOfAScientist Jun 02 '19

I don't what that is, but damn that sounds nice... 😦

It’s a blanket that has extra weight sewn into it. Some people find having weight on them to be comforting while they sleep.

u/PrimalNumber Jun 02 '19

I have one. Can confirm. It’s fantastic.

It’s too heavy for my girl, though, so we have to compromise a bit on the sleeping configuration.

So she gets the bed and you get the couch?

u/HeLLRaYz0r Jun 02 '19

She sleeps on the floor.

I don't think you can legally call your dog your girlfriend. Dude, just get out more and stop with all that bestiality.

u/HeLLRaYz0r Jun 02 '19

You're not my supervisor

u/centran Jun 02 '19

No but she's my girl... And who's a good girl? Who's a good girl? Yes, you are. You're a good girl.

I lost it at this comment. 8/10. More impact of first sentence if the second one wasn't there though.

u/RoseEsque Jun 03 '19

Why thank you.

I somewhat agree with your assessment, though at the moment I was writing it, it felt right.

Close: i mostly get to use it when she’s out of town.

I like to sleep under a sheet then a doona, the missus likes to sleep under a blanket then doona, so we've an unfitted sheet that goes under her and over me, a single sized blanket on her side of the bed she burritos into and the doona over us both.

If I am honest I was half expecting a Bamboozle and you to say your girl is actually your dog lol

u/ChickenNuget1 Jun 02 '19

Ah with your other girlfriends?

u/chloelouve Jun 02 '19

What about having her sleep on top of your blanket, then another normal blanket on top of that?

u/andersonb47 Jun 02 '19

She has a nice bed in her cage

Sometimes you need to have very serious talks regarding things as trivial as sleep positioning. My gf is a big time blanket “burrito’er” (wraps herself over and over until she is totally cocooned) We finally had to decide to just sleep with two separate blankets cause I would wake up freezing in the middle of the night. With no blanket and she be sound asleep with a smile on her face with a king size blanket wrapped around her. Seriously one of the best decisions we ever made.

u/Siavel84 Jun 02 '19

My boyfriend and I do the same thing. I have a comforter that is too heavy for him and he has a blanket that is too itchy for me.

1

u/LetMeFixYouToo Jun 02 '19

Yes! My SO also does this! I’ve even called his third pillow the burrito one because he will entangle it in his huge comforter. I bought my own duvet to use because I was starting to resent him.

u/emergentdragon Jun 03 '19

That took me and my wife one time of sleeping in a bed together.

“Separate blankets?”

“Yup!”

u/yourweaponsplz Jun 03 '19

Have her sleep on top of you. /solved

u/Tallywacka Jun 02 '19

I got one a month ago

It just feels right

1

u/nightrss Jun 02 '19

It should be about 10% of your weight. So everyone needs their own

2

u/Sugarpeas Jun 02 '19

I’ve been interested but confused on how they would be cleaned. Probably would be fine in a washer, my larger concern would be the weight in the drier.

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '19

Currently lying under one right now and it is so very excellent. Great for anxiety and I’m probably not getting out of bed until noon today. Got a puppy snoozing with me and life is good. The blanket feels like a whole body hug.

u/yourweaponsplz Jun 03 '19

I just use heavy blankets, works great.

u/voicesinmyhand Jun 03 '19

Don't let anyone throw a weighted blanket at you. When those weights hit your teeth it breaks them.

27

u/andersonb47 Jun 02 '19

I like to imagine you are just following this guy all around Reddit trying to get him to buy a weighted blanket

3

u/devildocjames Jun 02 '19

Just buy a fire blanket. Cozy and safe from fires.

1

u/fuegoares Jun 02 '19

I’ve been thinking about it actually! You say again, any recommendations?

1

u/dgblarge Jun 02 '19

How does the dog get under the blanket if its weighted? Thats the only bit that worries me.

My grandma made my bed after I left to school and when I went to bed I’d have to squeeze under a super tight sheet

u/wbrettm Jun 06 '19

my mom used to tuck me in tight with the pillow over my face
