HYPNOSER Weighted Blanket Adult Queen Size (15 lbs 60"x80") | Diamond Heavy Blanket with Glass Beads

In case this review gets put on a bunch of things- this is for the HYPNOSER brand weight blankets. (I got 2 different weights)after I researched & read reviews on these things over a few years trying to figure out the best one. So this is a review with AALLLL The information i wish had been in a weight blanket review when i was looking!!Here goes:SIZE & 20lbI got myself the twin size 20lb. It was more expensive than 20lb queen but IT IS WORTH IT! The weight is distributed over the whole blanket so the smaller the size of the blanket, the more weight is in each pocket. So 20lb twin means i have more weight over my body than 20lbs spread out over the queen size. In my opinion the sand at the edges of the blanket is just wasted weight that could be on me.WEIGHT Ive always liked to sleep under heavy weight but i also overheat easy so having 17 blankets on my bed kinda sucked. Ive also had at one point before i heard of these blankets, a laundry basket on my bed against the wall full of clothes& junk i had to sort. Probably 15 lbs just in the basket and id find myself squirming to get under it in bed. Haha.It WORKSSo I use this blanket nightly since i got it in July. . It absolutely helps me feel more comfortable and sleep better. I have the top foot of it folded over so i have a double layer over my chest. The second the weight flops down on me i just instantly feel more relaxed and comfy. And tired. It WORKS.HEAT / TEMPERATUREI did not bother with a cover i just put it on top of the bedcover and put a thin quilt over it. Ive been using it since summer and I didn’t get too hot. That was one of my biggest worries. I OVERHEAT EASILY and had NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS BLANKET IN JULY AUG SEPT OCT IN NORCAL WHEN ITS SO HOT EVERYTHING IS BURNING DOWN around us. lol. (Sonoma county if you want to check climate to see if this will be ok for wherever you are) Id pull it up so it was not over my feet and id have the top folded down more over my torso. Being able to keep my feet out prevented overheating. It was same as any other year with normal bedding.CRAFTSMANSHIP /NO LEAKSMy other worry was if the sand would leak like I read in a lot of other blanket reviews.So far no leaks. No grit at all and i live in a cramped space so im always piling stuff on the bed. Walking over the bed (its a low futon and spans in front of the closet so i walk on the bed to use the closet. Also to reach the hangy tie back thing for the drapes. So the blanket has got straight beat up for the last 5 months straight and not a single grain of grit has come out of it.FABRIC/TEXTURESays its washable but im doing what i can to avoid putting 20lbs when DRY & probably 50lbs wet in washer. So no feedback on how it stands up to that, more worried about how the washer wouldn’t stand up to it! But This is a little sad because the blanket fabric itself is really soft but i dont want to soil it. I was scared from some reviews that the fabric would be stiff and scratchy. But its really nice. Its like a.. ?? Brushed almost feeling or favorite old t-shirt softness. I have texture issues so im very happy about the fabric texture.FILL DISTRIBUTION & AESTHETICSThe pockets are smallish. And keep the sand in its place well. This was the primary reason i picked this brand. Most blankets have square pockets that are big. That means the couple tablespoons of fill falls to the side bunching up in only one corner of the pocket so you have a blanket that feels like its flat everwhere except where a hard compact rock is in the corner (i have a weigh vest that does this so i know it SUCKS to have the sand shift & turn into just a dang little ROCK). Visually, the straight across blocks looks blah. I dont like the visual of it. At all. THIS blanket has SMALL DIAMONDS, think they’re maybe 4 inches vs a 7 inch square, it means more pockets, less ability for little rocks and its nice to look at.15lb GIFT FEEDBACK FM MOM I got the twin 15lb first both to see if it would be enough weight for me or if id need the 20lb And because my mom has trouble staying asleep so i wanted to get her one. it was too light for me, i used it one night to see what the weight was like but it felt like i had no extra weight on the bed at all. i gave it to my mom who didnt want to try it because she doesn’t like to sleep under weight. Prefers just a single sheet. But she gave it a chance, i told her theres a 2-4 week phase for your body to get used to them & I really wanted her to try it the whole time to see if it would help her. She waited til the weather turned cold to try it.Now she says she thinks it does help her stay asleep better and for longer. SWEET! I recently asked her if she was still using it ever and she threw me an unexpected curveball & said she uses it every night! Hah. Score. I win.PHOTO DESCRIPTIONPhoto shows diamond pattern & pocket size against a cd jewel case. Its been on top of that black comforter the whole time since July and as you can see, there is no grit/ sand that has escaped. Which im really happy about. Would have driven me Nuts to have grit on the bed. The reviews about leaks is what put me off getting a weighted blanket for a long time. This one has held up to abuse!SUMMARYIm about to get a third one. LOL

Will take a few nights to get used to, though it seems like it works. I no longer feel the need to sleep in past the 7-8 recommended hours, on a consistent sleep schedule. Tossing and turning decreased as well. The other selling point claims I will remain skeptical of.

The person I bought this for really likes it and appreciated it She was having trouble sleeping and found this blanket helped her with this problem I appreciated the delivery of this item, as it was very smooth and helpful. The delivery of this was brought to my apartment

My 6 month old son loves it. It helps him sleep better at night.

Ok

I ordered a 20lb blanket for my girlfriend but it ended up being 30lbs so we had to open it to drain beads out which isn't too bad if you know how to sew. overall after draining some beads she does enjoy the blanket more, it helps with her anxiety and sleep quality.

This will cover a small adult and yet is light enough to pull with one hand.Highly recommended

Naught it for my adult son.. he loves it!!!

Bought this for my daughter who has ADHD and anxiety and trouble sleeping. She was able to go to sleep very easily and uses this nightly. I have washed this 20lb blanket a few times in the front load washer and dried in dryer on low heat as well; comes out great. The weight distribution is really good, I like how nice and small the "pockets" are for this. The blanket is great quality and i highly recommend it for better sleep as well as to help with anxiety.

Washed this product in the washer and tumble dried...still working well. Bought the same product many, many years ago when it was like triple the price! The old one had a cooler material, which I like, as compared to this one. But this material seems cozier I must say, but not good for hot days. The old blanket had distribution issues of the beads, but I am not surprised as I suspect all these products will have the same issues...they tend to move the sides of the square. My old blanket seams are starting to break...but then I had it for a few years now. Excellent product in that the beads have not leaked on me to this day from the one I bought many years ago.Just a thought when you purchase your blanket --> unsure if I bought the size too big or I prefer a heavier blanket, I found that I needed both my new and old blankets (total of 30lbs) to sleep way better! 15lbs is the recommendation according to the charts supplied by all the companies. Nevertheless, I have not weighed the blankets to assess if they are accurate in weight.

Love this weighted blanket. Worth every penny.

90lbs and 5ft tall. Could’ve been ok with 5lbs more weight and adult size I think. I figured I’d try kids size since I am petite and thin, and adults weighted blankets come in much heavier weights. I think this blanket would be ok for a child who is under 90lbs and is shorter than 5”.Unfortunately I don’t use it anymore, but fortunately I don’t need it anymore (originally purchased it for nighttime anxiety due to stress)It does get hot and sweaty underneath the blanket over time, but I didn’t use a duvet cover so that could be why. The weight of this blanket is still cozy enough that I could reach for this if I’m having trouble sleeping, but using it by folding it up more on my upper body to give more weight.Also, I threw this in the wash on regular cycle and my nearly-new washing machine couldn’t handle it. The weight of the blanket clogged up the washer so water couldn’t pass.. we had to pull the washer out and unplug the drain then reinstall the washer again. I wouldn’t try washing a weighted blanket again, so definitely another reason to use a duvet cover.

This is a decent blanket and does add some weight, but I would recommend spending $20-40 more for one that has a thicker fabric covering (I think those sherpa or minky ones might be better). This one has a cotton-feel fabric that is very thin (think basic Ikea or Walmart sheets) so you can easily feel the beads.3 starts because it does the job of adding weight, but I will be purchasing a cover to have a more plush 'cocoon' feel. With that extra cost, the price is no longer attractive.
