Highams Weighted Blanket 4kg Therapy Anxiety Autism Insomnia Stress Relief Sleep Effect, Single - 125 x 150cm

This is a fantastic item, I would highly recommend. It provides a calming effect. It is quite heavy but not uncomfortable just comforting, we have the grey one and find it an ideal colour for constant use. I would definitely purchase again

This is a review of Highams Weighted Blanket 8kg for Adults. I purchased this because I had been struggling with anxiety and poor sleep for months, and after reading about the benefits of weighted blankets for deep pressure therapy, I decided to give this affordable option a try. I like to use this for sleeping at night, as well as draping it over me while relaxing on the sofa during the evening to help unwind after a stressful day. What I like about this product is the even distribution of the glass beads in the quilted pockets, which prevents any clumping and provides consistent pressure across the body. The soft cotton fabric feels comfortable against the skin, it comes in a generous 150 x 200cm size that covers a double bed well, and the grey colour is neutral and stylish. My experience using this product is very positive. From the first night, I noticed falling asleep faster and waking up less often, with a real sense of calm and security from the gentle weight. It does get quite warm, which is perfect for cooler nights but might be too much in summer. The build quality seems solid, with no beads leaking after several weeks of use. For the price, it offers excellent value and has genuinely improved my sleep quality. I would recommend it to anyone dealing with insomnia or anxiety.

After hearing positive reviews on weighted blankets (a warm hug while you have a deeper sleep) I decided to bite the bullet and order the double one in grey. It came in a nice carry bag which was good because it wasn't doing my tennis elbow any good lugging it up the stairs. Put it on the bed and it came a bit over my double duvet so is a good size and the grey is a nice colour, looks well made. This should keep the duvet in place and stop the other half nicking it through the night I thought. It does make the bed warmer but it wasn't the warm hug and deep sleep I was expecting. I woke up to a breeze around my bum last night, what I thought was the dog in the centre of the bed, was the blanket which had crept and had ravelled up in between us. I suppose 2 bodies will create a central valley and the weight will drop down the middle, so I sleepily had to re-adjust both duvet and blanket. Another thing I've noticed is that my arthritis in my hip seems to be aching more since this blanket, I don't know whether it is the extra weight on it or if it is another flare up. I have also noticed some stitching loose on one of the squares and am not surprised because the pockets are holding quite a bit of weight. On the whole it is a good blanket and seems well made but I am not getting on as well with it as I thought it would be.

I have purchased weight blanket for my 4 year old who was waking up at least three times during the night besouse she has managed to kick of her duvet as well as all the other reasons. I must admit I have been steptical before the purchase but part of me was thinking we'll worth trying as this might help me and my daughter to go throughe the night without waking up. For the first week it was hit and miss but thinks started improving after two weeks of use. She is still able to kick it off blanket and duvet if feels too hot but somehow it helps her get piecfull nights without constant waking up. I have also noticed falling asleep is a much quicker process with this blanket on and normally she would be awake Mon to Sunday between 5:40 and 7am on a good morning. ( Dispute falli asleep between 7:30 and 8:00pm). This has improved too gets up at 7 am or just after this on occasions 8. I would highly recommend this product if you are like me struggling throughe the night routine with your child. Being waken up by your little one for variety of different reasons. This might magicley help them at night time so they don't wake up at all or not so often. My guess is that this product or the weight of it that is evenly distributed is giving my child feeling of security once in bed with is allowing her to sleep more piecfull for longer. Can't recommend this enough 5⭐ for me.

I haven’t had a weighted blanket before but i got this to try. i wasn’t expecting a lot based on how expensive others tend to be but i really like this. the blanket is covered in pockets and each one full of little beads. they do all kind of fall into the corner of the pocket but u don’t mind that as it’s kind of a stim for me. totally would get again and has been a total game changer for me in life

I usually don't leave reviews, but as I was hesitating to buy this product for a long time myself, I thought to leave my opinion to maybe help someone decide as I am mad at myself that didn't order this earlier. As I said , I was taking my time till I actually made an order as I am insomniac for years now who struggles to fall asleep and to stay asleep, whatever I would try , wouldn't help unless it's sleeping pills. So I ordered this blanket 8kg, (my weight is approximately 68kg) for myself and my best friend who was recently starting to complain about bad nights too. I don't know what kind of magic it is, but we both actually have started to sleep well, I sleep through the night without waking up not even once!! And I fall asleep in minutes too. I don't feel that it is warm enough, I use another blanket on top as I love to be warm , but overall I am very happy with this product. No issues in quality either, I've put the blanket in a cover and use it as a normal blanket to sleep. Can't be happier with it although I've been sleeping with it approximately 3 weeks now, I think I would want eventually go for even heavier one but it is doing the job perfectly. Hope this helps someone as I can't imagine my nights without it now.

I love my weighted blanket! I initially bought one for my stepson who has autism and he loved it calms him down makes him sleep much better, i tried it and liked it so I ordered one, i would say although its soft it isn't your snuggly type of soft and would be better with sheets, all round nicely made and of good quality, it keeps you warm at night i ordered queen size which is around the same size as a single quilt so bear that in mind when ordering. If you have anxiety, sleep problems, insomnia etc and you are thinking about buying one i definitely would as I feel so relaxed and can fall to sleep so much easier and sleep longer definitely worth the money, mine is 6kg its very heavy but not uncomfortable (i would actually like mine heavier)

The jury is still out on this one after about 10 days use. I'll start with the facts. The double size is smaller than a standard double bed; if any bits overhang there is a risk the blanket will fall off pulling the duvet with it. To work effectively it needs to be bigger so it can overhang equally and the weight holds it in place. I am using it on top of a normal weght duvet in late autumn; it has not significantly added to the warmth which seems odd. The cotton fabric is nice and soft. Washing instructions say handwash in cold water with no suggestion of how to dry; line dry or flat? Do not bleach, dry clean or tumble dry. It weighs 8kg because of the size. Obviously a smaller size will weigh less. Perhaps these should give a weight per area measure instead for accurate . Does it work? I did not feel snuggled, embraced or any of the touchy feely claims. I actually felt i had been weighted down, like i imagine when someone buries your body in sand at the beach. In that sense, not particularly pleasant. But i have slept better; it makes movement more difficut and normally I toss and turn for ages before dropping off. The weight makes me more aware of that so i am stiller and sleep has been more refreshing. At about £30 it is worth a go if you have trouble sleeping Update: Back to my old disturbed sleep pattern. I got the blanket just after i broke a bone in my leg and i think it may have been the brace that kept me stiller not the blanket. Now i have healed i am back to tossing and turning and the daily stress. Update. Oct 2022. An added and very welcome bonus of this blanket is its thermal properties. During our summer heatwave i slept under a sheet and this and was surprisingly cool. As we moved into autumn i still didn't return to a duvet and it kept me at a comfortable temperature. I am now pulling the duvet over the top only if i feel particularly cold. I would raise this to 4* for this alone.

Heel kalmerend !!

Achetée pour mon fils de 9 ans, qui réclamait du poids sur lui le soir pour s'endormir. Cela lui permet de s'apaiser et de trouver plus facilement le sommeil

I ordered this for myself months ago and loved it so much that I bought 3 more as gifts. I thought it might be too much weight and heat but no. Highly Recomment!

Ich habe diese Decke für meinen Enkel gekauft, welcher ADHS hat . Er litt unter sehr starken Problemen beim durchschlafen. Seit er mit diese Decke hat schläft er Nachts durch. Er ist viel ausgeruhter und auch die Konzentration hat sich sehr verbessert. Ich bin rundum zufrieden und würde sie jeder Zeit weiter empfehlen.

Calda, morbida e comoda! Bella pesante.
