Weighted blankets have been designed to help you get a comfortable night sleep. This is largely down to the weight of the blanket which is made from a filling of small glass beads. They are carefully put together to help create this weight which is evenly distributed throughout. COMPLETELY SAFE to use, they are suitable for all age groups. Benefits The blanket is known to drastically improve the quality of your sleep and is widely used by sufferers of insomnia, anxiety, depression and everyday difficult sleepers. The blanket provides a warm snug feel (like that of a parent and child). The added weight of the blanket is what provides the snug feel. It gives a sense of safety and comfort which helps improves your sleeping experience. The additional weight applies gentle pressure to the body which removes cortisol, this is the main stress hormone in our bodies. It also encourages the release of serotonin, a hormone associated with feelings of happiness and well-being. The blanket is not just for sleeping, it can be used if you are relaxing at home, The feeling of a gentle press against you Size and materials The blankets come in two different weights and sizes. 7kg (122 x 183cm) 9kg (152 x 203cm) The blanket has been put together using 5 layers of material (see images for visual explanation). The middle filling is made with food grade, non-toxic glass beads. The layers on top and underneath the beads are made from non-glue washable cotton. The final layers (both on top and underneath) are made from 100% ultra-soft cotton fabric.

Quality comfort!
It's fantastic quality, when I got home it had already been delivered, it's perfect for those after school naps, after a stressful day. The blanket is like a cocoon, I got the 9 kg one, the weight is great, not suffocating whatsoever!

works well at first
For about a week this worked well for me and did help me sleep. The issue came because the glass beads are not captive within the blanket patches and after a week had migrated to the edge. Thus it just pinned me down rather than rest evenly over the full width.It's a shame but there you go.Would certainly suggest you try a weighted blanket but maybe not this one.

Wasn’t sure what to expect…pleasantly surprised
I wasn’t sure what to expect, I ordered as I wanted a new blanket and felt I may as well tackle my constant waking up during the night issue. I’ve only used it twice and haven’t noticed my waking during the night improving as much as i’d like; perhaps to early to say. But of the sleep I have had it’s been very good, i’ve slept deeply as though i’ve been giving a sedative. The blanket at 20lbs is very heavy and so does need to rolled away to the end of my bed during non sleeping hours, which I can see getting annoying but we will see.

just buy it!!
Im writing this review after having the blanket 6 months ...i bought this for my daughter who suffers from anxiety, bouts of depression and difficulty sleeping.she rated this blanket 5 stars. very soft slightly silken material & stylish design.the weight of the blanket is very good, i was really surprised at just how heavy it was!! - Substantially heavy!! and gives a feeling of security. the weight is evenly distributed in the little sewn pockets so no bunching up in patches.I bought it in the spring time (English spring) and she used it with a light duvet - when the weather was warmer , it was more than enough on its own for sleeping with through the night.the price was excellent compared to others I have seen online.super - fast delivery & more than deserves my 5 ***** review.If your doubting the effectiveness of having one of these, don't!!.

Love it
It's the perfect weight. I love snuggling under it as I watch TV of an evening. Looks exactly as pictured. Very happy with the quality.

Well made, does the job, would 100% recommend
It's a blanket and it's weighted. Sometimes the beads shift around but it in no way detracts from it. I sleep solidly and don't wake up in the middle of the night any more, I also don't move around. I shut my eyes, open them and it's morning!For the price it's a steal, zero regrets.

felt safe and secure and slept for a straight 7hr which i have never done.
I cant fault this product, as a really bad sleeper i decided to give it a try and wow am i impressed. I felt safe, secure, cosy and relaxed. I woke up for a 7hr sleep feeling refreshed and ready to face the day. Due to current global pandemic we all fella little anxiety and stress about being key workers and living within the danger zone, however this weighted blanket seamed to put me at ease.I would recommenced them to everyone and I will be buying more as gifts.Only one downfall Packaging it came in a plastic bag and this is not too appealing when presenting as a gift. However this does not take away from the amazing value the blank brings.
