People with Anxiety, Insomnia, PTSD, ADHD, and more are turning to weighted blankets. Here's where we found ours: http://amzn.to/2gAvwVG
The proper link : got lost in transit. The link above is the amazon sale site for the item... Sorry
Any one who sews , i am sure could make one a fraction of the price.

I have read about them...

I can honestly say that I would either love it and feel snuggly safe...

...or feel trapped and freak out, lol!!

I probably won't invest to find out which one it is...just sayin' ;p

No me neither SC...
I would feel trapped i think... i can fight with a duvet if it wraps round my legs 😉

It reads very beneficial to youngsters who suffér with ADHD etc, but could also be scary if they werent wrapped in it with love and cuddles too.

So the jury is out for me.... but i certainly would not pay that amount....😊

I have heard of them and for me it may be great. I actually have a difficult time in summer when I can't use many blankets. In the winter I pile them on because I feel more secure with the weight of the blankets. I mean I had 6 blankets on last night. I normally sleep on my side with a pile of blankets and have to have the covers over the side of my head. I like a bit of fresh air so I keep a spot open lol.

I can just picture you all snuggled up in hibernation, with your little air hole x

Hi

Both of my nieces through adoption who both have anxiety related issues use weighted blankets and find them very helpful.

The timing of this!! My sons therapist just recommended we get one for him and he did love being tightly swaddled as a baby.
Thanks Gilly!

gilly,

I have not. My blankets end up on the floor by the end of the night, so maybe heavy would be good! LOL
