I bought this for my friend that often stays in my upstairs loft. I wanted to surprise him. I noticed that he brings the exact same one every time that he comes over (i checked the lable on his) I was glad to see it here on Amazon. He says that having a weighted blanket feels like a “hug” His other blanket has lasted 3 years so far and still looks pretty new. He is thrilled to have another one for here. It saves him from lugging his back n forth. He says that the blanket has helped him with anxiety and restlessness. I hope this info helps. As for me, I have never tried a weighted blanket. I prefer hardly any weight on myself.I love this blanket! My son had a weighted blanket from sharper image that I borrowed and loved. When he moved out, I wanted to get my own so I checked Amazon. I tried a different brand but didn’t like it so I sent it back. I spent a bit more and got this one. Really soft and I love that I can take the cover off to wash (which you can’t do with the sharper image weighted blanket). The weighted part feels great and I love the navy color. Highly recommend.Love everything about this blanket! I am a 5' 110 lb woman, I got the smaller 10 lb "child size" and it is perfect for me. I didn't want anything too big and heavy that could hang off of the bed. The cover is soft and also easy to remove and washes well. Very happy, and sleeping good!Took a while to get used to because I usually sleep with duvets. I ordered the queen size because it is recommended for it to be on your bed and not hang off it. It's soft. Easy to clean. I've had it for more than 6 months and so far so good. There are no tears or any sign of the blanket or the beads failing. Will update if something bad happens.This blanket is so soft and pretty, I love it. It has the perfect weight when I sleep at night, makes me feel really cozy without being super hot.It’s very good quality! I’m very happy with my purchase.Got it just in time, perfect comfort for an aching body. Just enough weight and not too hot. Even with fever.She is small so this is just right.BLUF: I don't normally write reviews but this one is long overdue. I've put this off for months because I knew my review would be rather lengthy and wanted to do this company justice. I will begin by saying that I have purchased 4 of these blankets (the 25lb version) and would recommend them to anyone looking for better quality sleep. The blanket is so soft but the weight of it is where the real magic happens. It feels like a full body, gentle hug that keeps you cozy all night long. It's simply amazing, I wish I had better words to describe it. I also want to point out that the company is truly amazing as well. I had an issue with one of the covers and they immediately shipped me a replacement minky cover at no cost and more importantly, no hassle. They have excellent customer service, no question.Here's my story (the extended version)...By complete accident, I happened upon some research discussing the therapeutic benefits of weighted blankets. After extensive research and combing over hundreds of reviews and dozens of brands and versions, I decided on this one (largely based on the reviews I read here). I bought the 1st one hoping it could help my bf with his sleep problems (he's a veteran with PTSD). When I got it, I laid it out on the bed and decided to try it out myself since he was out of town (I couldn't resist). To my complete surprise, I fell asleep much faster than I normally do (I usually take Ambien bc I have trouble falling asleep). I was amazed but couldn't wait for him to try it.Well the next night he did. He fell asleep in about 5 minutes, he slept soundly without tossing and turning constantly, his restless legs were calm and still, but most importantly, he slept throughout the night. The next morning, he couldn't stop talking about his new magic blanket. He was hooked. We gave it a few days just to make sure it wasn't a fluke and ordered one for me. He still can’t believe how much it’s helped his sleep, to this day he brags about this godsend and tells me on a fairly regular basis, how much he loves his blanket.So...a little bit later, he suggested getting one for my papa (my grandfather). As a Vietnam Vet, he also suffers from sleep disturbances. My bf talked to him (for at least half an hour) about how much it helped him from the very 1st night. Needless to say, we ordered him one and also ordered one for my nana. After seeing that they had received it (he had me checking the tracking info constantly), he had me call them to see how they liked it. Unfortunately, they hadn't taken it out of the box. They were busy bees and just hadn't gotten around to it. Needless to say, he was so disappointed. After a couple of days, and constant nudges from the both of us, they finally set them up and got to experience the pure sleep bliss for themselves. The next morning I received a text from my papa and he was over the moon about it. He told me he just couldn't believe that a blanket could help his sleep as much as it did. When I text him back, he immediately called to talk to me about it. Later I spoke with my nana and she loved how the weight helped relax her muscles. She said it felt like all the muscles in her body just melted. She also noticed a difference in his sleep as well.I know this was long, but I really wanted to explain to people who may be on the fence that you will not regret getting one of these blankets. We purchased 4 of them and would do it again in a heartbeat. If you’re going to get one, you can’t go wrong with this blanket and this company. Thanks for reading and sweet dreams.Quility Weighted Blanket (25 lbs)This is a lovely weighted blanket. The weight is equally spaced out and lovely quality. However I did have to return it as it was way to heavy for me and having fibromyalgia I know if I struggle now in a few years I won't be able to pull it back off myself without help xx I am disappointed as they don't do a king size in 7kg xx so having to look for a similar one but should they have one when I'm looking then I will be repurchasing the lighter oneA really good quality product that has really had a positive effect on my ability to relax and calm down due to issues with CPTSD. The first few nights sleeping with it I woke up feeling a bit too heavily weighted down by the blanket but have gotten more used to it now. Where it really helps is when I am not sleeping and just lay under the blanket for relaxation and it allowed me to lay on the floor for a full hour without moving, fidgeting or becoming restless. Highly recomended.Just received this today. Feels like a giant hug. Time will tell if this is going to help me sleep better....100% increase in quality of sleep. Help calm and relax tooI was skeptical a bit. There's so many weighted blanket options now and this one is not the cheapest but not very expensive either compared to others, so I thought maybe it wasn't the best quality. I was wrong, it's perfect. Slightly smaller than my bed (queen size) but big enough for me. I didn't start sleeping better overnight but it did significantly improved my sleep. I would totally buy a second for another bed at my place. Worth the price, good quality, good weight and very comfy!
