Hi friends and happy Tuesday! I am excited to chat about today’s topic! Have you heard all the rage about weighted blankets? Well, after years of sleeping terribly, I finally decided to order one back in July! I’ve been sleeping with it since then, so truthfully, this post is a long time coming! That being said, I really had to be sure it worked before I shared my thoughts with you! I’ll be honest, I literally don’t know what I’d do without this blanket and can’t fathom sleeping without the extra 20 pounds of weight! I have and love this WEIGHTED BLANKET.
What is a weighted blanket good for you and do I need one, you ask? They say weighted blankets are great for anxiety, stress and insomnia. All things that I and lots of others suffer from. I am known for getting into bed and being exhausted but laying awake for hours with a racing mind. I swear my best ideas come to me when I should be sleeping. Ha! After years of lots of not so great sleep and hearing all sorts of the buzz about weighted blankets, I finally decided to try a weighted blanket and I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome!
While not 100% for everyone, check out more potential benefits of a weighted blanket:

In my case, both my hubby and I would need to be in consensus about the weighted blanket.
The size I have only fits on one person, so it doesn’t affect my hubby!
Oh gotcha!
I love my weighted blanket. However, I did not go according to the suggested body weight vs. blanket weight. I had read a caution if you have any joint pain a blanket over 15 lbs. could make it worse. I ordered the 15 lb. blanket and love it. I also just use it on my side of the bed and not for both my husband and I.
I have the Blanquil and I LOVE it. I usually keep it on my bed – I love the feeling of the weight on me as I’m sleeping!
