I bought this for my wife for her birthday, but went a weight above the recommended one. This blanket is absolutely amazing!
Pros:
-My wife loves it and sleeps so much better, improving her quality of life.
-This is the only blanket that will 100% shut up my wife's neurotic freaking Chihuahua, which improves his chances at having a quality life.
-My wife doesn't steal the comforter anymore, which means I have a better night's sleep and don't have to leave her.
-It puts my wife to sleep so well that she doesn't mind if it's a little warm, so she backs off the thermostat, you Dad's know what I'm talking about!
-She once laid it over me when i was hungover from drinking entirely too much with my brother, and it let me dig in for a good coma while my body tried to figure out what happened and why I did that to myself.
Cons:
-Having to clean and jerk this thing overhead so I can backload it to carry ANYWHERE she wants it, downstairs, upstairs, to the car for vacation.
Bottom line, men. Get this for your wife to save your marriage and sanity.
I've read about weighted blankets for the last few years, and finally took the plunge. I'm older, was having trouble sleeping, and wanted to stay away from medications. After a lot of research, the Quility blanket had all the features I wanted: especially the lower weight option (I'm about 125 pounds). Other positives are price, cover, and glass beads for weight. After about a week of use, I definitely fall asleep a lot faster and stay asleep during the night. Using it without the cover now and just sheets on bed because of the summer heat -- but blanket is not hot. The Quility appears to be of high quality, even though made in China, and was well packaged.
We discovered that my 17 year old son may have some sensory processing issues and on a hunch I purchased this blanket for him (15lb version). When it arrived it was neatly packaged and felt HEAVY, I was concerned I may have gotten too heavy of a blanket, but I brought it up to him.
He put the duvet cover on and slept with it overnight, when I saw him the next day he was responsive and looked rested, I asked how he liked it and he BEAMED, he loved it. Said he started to get antsy and pulled the blanket up, calmed right down. The soft-silky feel of the duvet was perfect for him, he loves any blanket with that texture.
Since then I have noticed he is more engaging, overall in a better, happier mood, and things that are stressing him out are not affecting him at the same level (as far as I can tell).
My only regret is not having found this product sooner.
I purchased two of these. One 5lb for a child and one 20lb for myself. I went heavier for mine than the recommended body weight percentage on the chart. The blankets come nicely packaged. The weighted blanket has square sections with tiny pellets of weights that do move within the square sections. They are not loose within the entire blanket. The weight measures exact folded on a scale.
The weighted section is dry clean only while the cover is machine washable. The cover is not padded but soft. It is like a slip case with ribbon ties to fit within tabs on weighted blanket to help keep in place inside the cover or else it would be similar to a bean bag and just slide to a ball. All as advertised. Shipped earlier than suggested.
The reason I purchased was because I have lupus and the pain at night is intense and my sleep is always disturbed. I have only used this two nights and I don’t know that it does or doesn’t help but it does prevent the tossing and turning because you are weighted down. I hope eventually it will help me sleep. I do like them and recommend this purchase if you are shipping this type of blanket. The cover is made for the specific blanket and comes with it. Easy and convenient. The price is lower than gravity blankets and does the same thing. Good luck to anyone struggling with something that prevents sleep. Hopefully this is helpful for you.
* I don’t like writing really bad reviews, but given their non-existent customer service, I guess I have to.
While comfortable and I guess good, this blanket lasted me just over a month. The material that creates the weight to the blanket, got loose and shifted to one side of the blanket; clumping up. If I picked it up, it would go to whatever side was down - gravity.
I figured I got a lemon and this is where the problem lies for me. I’ve called and left voice mail messages and emailed the company and have never received any response. They supposed have 100% satisfactory guarantee - but clearly that’s not true.
I give the benefit of the doubt that if a product didn’t work out that it’s not to say it’s a terrible product - mishaps and anomalies happen - but when a business is charging $125 for a blanket that lasts a month and NO ONE will return any communication then there is a problem. And would warn others to not waste their money.
You can read all the reviews , my conclusion is that it is an individual kind of thing. My experience was really good. I woke up this morning having slept 8 hours without waking up. That is epic for me. I can go to sleep but at some point I wake up, at times I seem to fight to wake up. Last night I slept all night. The blanket itself is really nice, the duvet gives it a luxurious feel. It is heavy if you lift it (the whole blanket) it is not heavy as you lie under it. I didn't overheat at all, just warm and cozy. I realize that one night is not a fair critique, but you would have to realize how unusual that is for me. I am celebrating this morning.
Super soft blanket, not too heavy but just enough to make him feel secure. As soon as I put it over him he smiled and reached for a hug so I knew it was a keeper!
I bought this weighted blanket after hearing about how effective it can be to enhance good sleep. It has taken me several weeks to get used to it but I am glad that I persevered. I do sleep better with it, but the additional weight can sometimes feel too much. It certainly does promote more restful sleep and I consider it to be effective for the purpose for which it was designed. Whether it will prove to be too hot in the summer remains to be seen.
Got it a few days, so far so good. Does the job. No issues with weight dispersion. I like that it has a washable cover. It does run hot but that's normal - using a flat beds heet can minimize that effect.
good quility
Soft, warm, and comforting!
