HYPNOSER Weighted Blanket for Kids, Pets (5 lbs, 36″x48″,Small Blanket) | Diamond with Glass Beads

LOVE THIS THING! BOUGHT 4 OF THEM!
I bought one of these weighted blankets for myself. I have always wanted to try one and the price was right to do just that. I ordered one and really loved it after a few nights of good sleep. I should mention that I have never slept really well and generally after 3 hours, I am wide awake and unable to get back to sleep for a an hour or two and then only to doze (off and on), until time to get up. Soooo, my first few nights of sleep were amazing. I bought 4 more blankets for gifts – for family members including my husband who wanted to try it (and I wasn’t willing to give mine up even for a night). After a week or two, I started having trouble – sweating and being too hot. The blanket itself does not hold the heat – it was totally me, but I was unable to get back to sleep. UGH! So, I quit using it. (A short time later figured out that it was likely a hormonal issue and once that was figured out, I went back to using my blanket and sleeping well) I still wake up after 3 hours, but I can get back to sleep fairly easy. I don’t want to get out of bed in the morning, because it feels so good to under the coziness of the weighted blanket. I believe I am getting at least another hour or two of sleep because of this blanket. I gave the other blankets to my mom, my daughter and my husband. Husband kind of hated it. He said it was too heavy and he felt too confined. He refused to give it more than two nights, so I think his opinion is somewhat subjective. My mom liked hers the first couple of nights and then also felt that it was a little heavy. But, after a few nights without it, she went back to using it and now really likes it. She feels that it was just an adjustment period to get used to it. (It should be noted that 15 lbs was the appropriate weight for all three of us.) My adult daughter didn’t really like hers (and it also may have been a little too heavy for her as she is smaller and would likely do better with 10 or 12 lbs) However, her husband loved it, so he is keeping it!! The bottom line is that you should not give up on it after trying it for only a few nights. Give it a bit more time, even if you have to take an night or two off in between. I think you will find that you will sleep better. I do have to keep the heat in the house around 67-68 or it does get to hot for me, but it is very comfortable at that temp. Also, some of the reviews mentioned leakage of the beads. None of the blankets we received have showed any signs of that to my knowledge. Mine stays on my bed, above the top sheet and under the blanket. It goes nowhere else – though I did take it on a trip for one overnight stay while visiting relatives. I have had it a few months now and no sign of any beads leaking or unevenness noted. It will go with me when I travel as I now don’t want to be without it!

Slippery but effective when it behaves
This product is obviously designed to work with a cover, with tabs sewn in at the corners and all, so I can’t fault the slippery-ness of the weighted blanket TOO much, but it gets tiresome to ‘fight with it’ all night (it is NO slouch!). I would imagine that in it’s ‘natural habitat’, i.e. with the accompanying cover/comforter/etc it’s probably better mannered so I can’t fault it for that.The weight is evenly distributed, ample (which is good because so am I), and it DOES in fact provide an entirely new level of comfort… When it’s not trying to slither off the bed, that is! Overall quality is good as well.

This blanket was recommended to me by a friend who has owned one for a while and I’m so glad that I decided to get one for myself because I absolutely love it! Admittedly it took a night or two for me to get used to the weight. Having a 15-pound of weight evenly distributed on top of me all through the night was a bizarre feeling at first. On the succeeding nights, that’s when I noticed the benefits of using it. I’ve been sleeping under it for a few weeks now, and I can tell you that it has helped me fall asleep faster, wake up less frequently throughout the night, and feel more rested during the day. The blanket itself is well made in a soft cotton material. It has small diamond pockets that prevent the weighted beads from dispersing unevenly. The size that I got is 48’ x 72’, which is the size of a larger throw blanket, smaller than the queen size blanket that I am used to, but large enough to span your bed as a normal blanket rather than only personal-sized. All in all, the Hypnoser weighted blanket is a great option because it is breathable and evenly weighted. The quality seems to be excellent. The cover feels so good to the touch and the sewing on the blanket segments and pockets seems secure. I am very pleased with this purchase – It has markedly improved the quality of my sleep. I can say that this blanket is something that has made me look forward to going to bed at night after a long, tiring day. I will be buying again because of its quality and competitive price.

I enjoyed the blanket’s weight but the stitching is very bad and I don’t think it will be very durable.

The insides started to leak out after a week of usage. There is no obvious place where it might be coming out from. It feel like the bed is full of sand Everytime am sleeping
