Silentnight Wellbeing Weighted Blanket - Anxiety & Stress Relief for Adults Insomnia Therapy - Sensory Calming Heavy Quilted Hug Blanket - 9kg, 150x200cm, Grey

Comfortable and feels well-made. Finish to the fabric is neither hot nor cold feeling and weight distribution feels even. I have mine on top of the duvet as an extra layer and it doesn't feel too much, nor does it slip at all. Definitely feel like I'm sleeping better since I started using this. Note re the weight: I think the weight quoted must be per square metre, because I bought the 6.8kg one and when it's all folded up it feels more like ~20kg in total weight.

I had read about weighted blankets over a year ago and understood the theory: deep pressure inducing an oxytocin release. But I prevaricated in buying one. After all, it is expensive for a blanket, and what if it didn't work? But after getting a very generous gift voucher for my birthday I decided to take the plunge. I went for the 9kg because I'm not a small woman. And oh my merciful heavens, it is the best investment I've ever made. The blanket is soft and sits exactly on top of the bed, so it doesn't slide off in the middle of the night. A few nights it's been too warm under the blanket and duvet, but I've just slept on top of the duvet and under the blanket so it's no great inconvenience. I have never slept so well in my adult life! The pressure is so comforting, I'm falling asleep quickly instead of lying awake into the small hours. It feels like when you stayed at your nan's when you were a kid and slept tucked up under the heavy blankets; that feeling of being safe, warm and loved. If you are thinking of getting one I'd say go for it! I love my blanket so much I want to take it on holiday with me (will leave us 6kg including suitcase for clothes for the two of us; that's enough, right?!).

Great value for money (especially if you can snatch it up during a sale like I did!) The 9kg blanket is heavier than you’d anticipate, especially is 9kg is over 10% of your body weight (the ballpark figure of what you should go for in a weighted blanket). The blanket is ready to use out of packaging, but I put a cotton duvet cover on it for comfort. I was worried about being hot under it but that is certainly not the case for me. It’s heavy but breathable. I sleep with the blanket on top of my thin duvet, and the only reason why I’m warmer than normal, is because the weighted blanket tucks the duvet around you with its weight. Particularly helpful if you move a lot and untuck your duvet a lot, getting cold air in. None of that has happened since I got it! It looks great and the stitching quality is nice, super soft even without an extra cover.

Purchased as a gift, seems well received good for someone that has restless sleep

This is a plush, velvet-feel blanket with a good heft to it. My son really enjoys the comfort of being tucked up in it, although it obviously only really works in Winter when it's cold enough to require the layer - it's very cosy and he's a hot sleeper. It looks great, deep grey fabric goes with everything.

Absolutely love my weighted blanket, I would most definitely buy again. Arrived in good condition and ready to use!

Didn't think it would be this heavy its a whole ass 6"0 heavy man in this for a 5"2 short arse woman woops! 😅🤣

Doesn’t stop stimming but helps to ground you and reduce stimming. This is just under 10% of my weight and I’d definitely go heavier next time, and there will be a next time.

So for starters i am a person who gets cold so easily throughout the night and then struggle to go back to sleep - this blanket solved multiple problems: 1. You know when you turn or adjust your sleeping position and then the cold air seeps in? You can forget about that because this weighted blanket will not do that to you. 2. I have anxiety and i am also an overthinker, so before sleep even if i set the mood i tend to find myself staying up for 1 extra hour - this blanket felt like a lovely hug that kept me feeling safe and sound, the weight is spread nicely so it felt consistent and very comfortable. 3. The beads did not make any sound they will not bother you! Btw i got the 6.8kgs and i am thankful i did~!

From the 1st night I've used this the effect is instant. Easier to fall asleep and stay alseep. I used to wake up in the night at least 3-4 time which has reduced and due to the weight on the body it makes me fall asleep easily. Use with a duvet cover if needed but the material of the blanket is very soft and you don't need the duvet cover at all in my opinion.

Good

Exactly as described, good quality. Haven’t washed yet, using for a few days, so far so good

Deep sleep, recommend only at bed time. I used it to just chill on the sofa. Woke up 3 hrs later. Very happy customer!
