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.
My daughter’s counselor suggested we try a weighted blanket, and boy is it hard to find something that you know is gonna be quality. It wasn’t cheap but I went with one from Baloo Living, particularly because they use glass beads instead of plastic, and they had a small “throw” size that was just what she needed. It’s only been a couple of months, but so far so good. She loves it. I have even washed and dried it successfully at home in our washer/dryer which honestly I was worried about. So, if it’s not outside your budget, I would recommend them.
