Delivery was neck day. Absolutely fantastic!
Background: when I get into bed I will flap around like a fish until I’m comfortable – I do NOT expect the blanket to fix this issue. Blanket also sits on top of my duvet.
First night I attempted my usual flap, hurt my arm trying to move close 7kg weight with one arm lying down. The blanket was over my head, as I like to sleep with my head covered with a little space for me to breath. Safe to say this was the worst idea I ever had! I grinded my teeth all night and woke up with neck pain. You could understand why, as I tried to choke myself all night with the blanket.
Next night I made sure the blanket rested over the shoulders and bellow and allowed my duvet to be the only thing that lay over my head. I flapped around Before I allowed the blanket to hug and hold me down, by leaving only the foot end covered with the blanket and then reached for it so I wouldn’t hurt my arm. Safe to say I slept like a baby.
Third night, I was genuinely excited for the weighted blanket. Slept so well and in a crooked position now I’ve got a back ache. The one thing I do appreciate about the blanket is the warmth and the fact that it will indicate all your sticky sore points as soon as the weight is on you. I know 100% this pain is from gym and from sleeping in a fertile position, with one leg doing what could only resemble a half fallen star pose.
I am waking up happier. And I am addicted to the feeling of the blanket as I sleep. I don’t know about the longevity of the blanket, as I’ve had it since Saturday night. But I do know that it’s beautiful and sewn really well and the size (king size) is mahoosive and fits my double bed like a dream and I can sit and wrap it around me and be all cosy. It’s soft and it’s genuinely beautiful. I am concerned about summer because I cannot sleep without a duvet, now I’m addicted to this blanket. I don’t know how much I could strip off so I can have both and not die from the heat. But I will find a way.
For the price and for the way it’s worked, I would highly recommend this for those of you have anxiety, stress and general unrest during their sleep. You just need to position it suitable for your body and the way you sleep, I’m sure if there was a guide, it would warn you not to allow the blanket over your head, maybe why so many of them are so small….
