BrentfordsWeighted Blanket 8kg for Adults Therapy Anti Anxiety Autism Insomnia Stress Relief, King Size - Silver Grey - 150 x 200cm - (Disclaimer Only suitable for age 3+ years)

I wasn't sure what to expect, but this 8kg weighted blanket has honestly made a big difference in my sleep. The weight is calming and evenly distributed, giving that cozy “hugged” feeling that helps me wind down and fall asleep faster. I’ve also noticed I wake up less during the night.The fabric is soft and feels nice against the skin, and the stitching is solid—no shifting or clumping of the filling so far. It’s a great size for one person, covering just enough without spilling over too much.A couple things to keep in mind: it can get pretty warm during the summer months, so you might want to switch it out or use it with a fan or lighter bedding. Also, if it bunches up or folds over itself, the weight can feel a bit much—definitely better spread out flat.Overall, still a 5-star product for me. It’s super comforting and well-made, just be mindful of the season and how it’s positioned on the bed. Totally recommend if you struggle with restlessness or just like feeling snug at night.

THE ITEMThe recommended size for my body weight was a double size, however this sold out. my bed is a king and adult can add an extra few pounds but i went for the king even though i was slightly worried. the item came 4 days early and came packaged nicely and came in a white bag with handles. The colour is the super cute like the picture and it is soft and good quality. It is really heavy so i feel like its an arm workout every time i pick it up and move it but thats expected. It is hard to lift but its easier to drag but its not that bag of a deal since the weight is the point of the product.THE EXPERIENCEso when i first laid under the blanket it was such a strange (in a good way) experience. The weight was nice and relaxing and it felt really good on my body. I have slept with it on top of me and on top of my quilt too. Surprisingly, it doesn't get too warm and stuffy just under the blanket so its fine during the hot summer. I feel like i get use to the weight, but i do feel it helps calm my body and anxiety. It can get quite annoying when i wake up and i wanna take it off so i just end up kicking it to the bottom of my bed. The beads are unnoticeable and they evenly fit to your body shape.MY WORRYi was worried if this was dangerous to sleep with but i think it may just be unsafe for young children. please do your research. The description also says they are made from micro-beads made from glass so i was scared to sit on the blanket and break the glass/damage but i think the beads are too small to break.OVERALLI feel like this is a great blanket to ease anxiety and maybe relax you at night time. as some blankets are like £100 this is worth the money and hopefully it lasts.

The material is incredibly soft, and I appreciated that it is both breathable and durable.

Did buy 2 of these. One for my son who has autism and can have disrupted sleep....he's had a good few undisturbed nights since putting it on. However....I returned the one for us. The colour is nice . It is very heavy and the way the beads accumulate in the squares is a bit odd. I don't fully understand the tabs attached that say you can tie it down- don't know how as no cord included plus ,on a double bed,not sure how you could tie it down. My husband has a skin lymphoma which came up this week- not because of this blanket I add, but the weight made his legs even more uncomfortable through the night. Its good for the price but sadly not for us. Can only be handwashed ....not sure how you'd do that .

I have it under two other blanket, then a duvet below it as it gets pretty cold sometimes during the night. It’s a really great weighted blanket, a good price, great size, very soft, and really warm! I got the grey one. I’d 100% recommended it to anyone looking for a pretty good weighted blanket!
