COMHO Weighted Blanket Cooling Heavy Blanket 20 lbs,60''x80'',Queen Size

Ddnt expect it to.be that heavy. But son likes it.

For over 2 years I’ve had this blanket. When I originally purchased it, I had heard great things about them and I thought it may help me sleep better. This thing is one of the greatest purchases I’ve ever made. At 36 years old, I wish I had it decades ago. I can’t sleep without it. It’s so comfortable and you feel so secure! It’s because of this weighted blanket I realized how sensory I really am. I love it so much! Thank you!

I am going to start this off by saying that I am amazed at how great this blanket is. I am an awful sleeper. I toss and turn, I wake up achy and unrested. I have a hard time falling asleep and I have an even worse time waking up. I have 3 alarm clocks (each set up to go off continuously through the morning) and one of them shakes my bed. I also have the lights in my bedroom on a timer so that the lights turn on at 6:30 a.m. just so that I can wake up in for work in the morning. I have hinted at wanting a weighted blanket for a few years now but after this past holiday season came and went I just ended up buying my own.The reviews on this one were great and the price made it seem too good to be true. I took the plunge and I couldn't be happier. The first thing I noticed was how heavy a weighted blanket really is, 20 pounds is 20 pounds after all. Next I noticed how unbelievably soft this blanket is. When I went to bed with my new weighted blanket draped over me, I felt as if I was being swaddled like a fresh born baby. It was a true feeling of comfy and secure.I waited to write this review until after a few nights of sleep. In this case I waited a week to see if my opinion changed or if something went wrong with the blanket. My blanket, I am happy to say has no defects that I can find.My sleeping after using this blanket has improved in ways that I didn't think were possible for a sleeper like me. I have consistently been falling asleep with ease. I also wake up to the first alarm on my first alarm clock (remember I have 3). Over the course of the week I stopped snoozing my alarm, simply because I was not tired. I have also woken up before my alarm clock and before my automatic lights went on, wide awake and ready to start my day. I don't think I've truly known a good night's sleep before now.Oddly enough the only con I can find with this blanket, which may not be a con for some people, is it doesn't keep me warm. I don't think this is the fault of the blanket, It seems designed for people who are hot sleeper to stay cool. I am a cold sleeper and like to feel cozy and warm when I sleep. I fixed this temperature issue by simply putting a light flannel blanket over my weighted blanket, it was the the perfect amount of added warmth.Stop looking for expensive weighted blankets... buy this blanket. It's perfect!!!!

We bought this for our son who has a sensory processing disorder. It was actually recommended to us by one of his doctors and we’re thankful for that. Before we got it, he always had a hard time sleeping…which means that we also had a hard time sleeping.For reference he’s 8 years old and about 60 pounds. We looked at the diagram and it said that we should get a 7 pound blanket so that’s the one we got. It comes with Amazon Prime shipping so we got the item in two days. That very evening, we put it to the test.We set him up with it on the couch first before trying it in his bed. He seemed to like it so that was a good sign. With this blanket, his  fidget toys  and  noise filtering earplugs,  he was happy as could be. Once he was comfortable with the blanket, we moved it to his bed and let him sleep and he really did! He might have turned and tossed a little bit but he completely slept through the night.Pros of the weighted blanket:- The material is very soft and comfortable- I believe it’s 100% cotton- It’s machine washable (but we haven’t had to wash it yet)- The glass beads are nice and evenly distributed across the blanket- Great for the sofa as well- sometimes he uses it there and it helps him sit stillCons:- We had to purchase a duvet cover separately since it doesn’t come with one- Might not be warm enough during the winter but we’ll see…I would gladly buy the product again especially if they come out with other colors. Love the fact that it helps our kid sleep at night. Who knew we’d be able to fix the problem with a $25 blanket? We’re so glad we finally have this. Would recommend to any parent who’s in a similar situation as us.

I'm a strongfat guy (6'0" ~240lbs. Fat, but much higher muscle mass than most people) so I got the heaviest blanket I could that's still affordable (20lbs). I can't say I get the "hugging" sensation, but it's certainly comfortable and helps me fall asleep more easily. The material breaths well so I don't get sweaty at night when using it.The three ways I've used it:1) Over the shouldersPros: Makes for a relaxing evening watching movies or writing a novel.Cons: Stiff shoulders the next morning.2) As a blanketPros: Didn't feel the urge to read a book in bed, passed out and stayed passed out. Slept like a rock.Cons: Didn't want to get out of bed the next morning because I felt like a rock. Whole body was sore.3) On top of a dakimakura to add weightPros: Makes for a more realistic sensation if you're a bachelor or have chosen to be celibate. Body pillow prevented the whole-body soreness the next day.Cons: Isn't as effective for knocking you out at night, pretty sure it's deteriorating my dakimakura due to weight as well.Sleep quality is 5/5 when using this, it's more effective than sleeping pills, but the muscle soreness the next morning makes it a hard sell for five stars. I think the weight ratio is supposed to be based on lean body mass and not actual body mass.
