Weighted Blanket

[Ryan Lemonds Hair]

Weighted blankets are no more warm than regular blankets. They just have weights. The way to go is a "mink" blanket. I have one that weights about 16 lbs. Nice and toasty.

Only if your regular blanket is filled with beads, form fitted around you and no way for body heat to escape.

I also use a guided meditation app for deep sleep via a Bluetooth sleepmask: Deep Sleep with Andrew Johnson, pay $3/month for SleepWatch App to track /coach my sleep habits via my AppleWatch, and still use Pzizz for the occasional nap.

My next purchase will probably be the Philips Deep Sleep Headband.

Good lord

My parents suffer from fibromyalgia and they swear by them.

Make sure you ground your bed, too. I swear there's a whole industry devoted to this kind of quackery....

No quackery about mink blankets. I don't know if they help with other conditions or so-called conditions, but I do know they keep you warm as toast.

Have you guys ever heard of an invention called an electric blanket? They're inexpensive, durable, lightweight (ideal for the non-mentally ill) and have a temperature adjustment from barely warm to nympho in heat.

Why waste money on all these problematic fads? Nobody GAF about your bed fashions. Just focus on being comfortable.

Nobody GAF about your bed fashions.

Based on the replies to this thread, I would say that statement is false.

Hmmm will def help keeping bodies nicely “tucked” when depositing them in the local dump.

Dont want any leftovers.

Weighted Blankets = Serial Killer/Mafia approved

Is the OP a serial killer? In the Mafia? Or does OP sleep naked?

Who doesn't sleep naked? I can't sleep any other way.

I’d die with one of those. I sleep with boxers and a thin sheet and sweat like a hog all night. My wife uses 3-4 blankets. Our bed is a mess.

For optimal sleep attire, I go with Japanese kimonos.

Great book on the importance of sleep.

 

[funKYcat75]

Nah. Sleeping is gay.

If you have to kill a bunch of harmless little animals and drape their fur over you to get a good night's sleep then you're just an unenlightened **********. TS.

Build yourself an igloo.

My wife loves the Bearaby weighted blanket. It looks like a cargo net but the huge holes don't trap heat like those beaded blankets.

I have one and like it, but make sure you get one designed to keep the weighted beads in place instead of one that allows them to move around the whole blanket with the blanket becoming imbalanced. If I had to do it again I would make 1000% sure I did that.

I love BBWs so I sleep under a 400 lb blanket

There’s always a risk there, so be careful.

I don't get the weighted blanket thing. I thought it was pretty much geared towards women and kids with autism.

It feels nice

100 proof spiced rum and coke (12 to 24 ounces worth). A sleep no weighted blanket comparison could "dream" about....
