I bought a cheap one off Amazon to see if it would help my insomnia. It seems to work, but this particular blanket triggers my allergies, perhaps it’s the polyester.

Anyway, I’m looking for a better one, ideally from a reputable brand, not one of the faceless alphabet-soup “brands” all selling the same product from the same factory in Shenzhen.

    I think this is the one I got for my fiancée a couple years ago: https://jysk.de/schlafzimmer/bettdecken/gewichtsdecken/gewichts-bettdecke-7-kg-gjendetu

    I don’t know if you have Jysk wherever you’re from, but it seems decent quality. You can put a duvet cover on the blanket, so you can pick and choose whichever material you’re most comfortable with.

    Can’t comment on how fair the production is - hadn’t done that research back then. But at least it’s not off Amazon

      I haven’t heard mention of jysk in so long. When I was a kid my dad would drive us to pick up my mom from work and there was one in the neighboring lot. It was super middle of nowhere and I’ll have to look up if its still around.

        Ah lol. 50€ seems to be pretty cheap compared to the average price of a weighted blanket. How much did your cost?
