I keep adding or subtracting layers (doonas and blankets) and avoid latest and greatest ads....works for me.

Hi @saltandpepper 

I have a weighted blanket and love it. I find it so comforting and I sleep so much better with it.

I even brought my daughter one. She loves it too.

Yes it was expensive but worth every cent.

@wellwellwellnez Well yeah I mean I guess so, they're pretty heavy though, like between 7-9kgs. Sounds like a hassle trying to make it, and probably just as expensive in the end.

Haha an auto-tuck-in--new invention maybe? They had like adult sleeping bag things, like what we used for our boy when he was little instead of blankets. Looked incredibly strange. Almost coffin like I feel.

@Appleblossom Yeah I mean I guess that might work, maybe get too hot though. Dunno

[saltandpepper]

@Snowie Thanks for the feedback. No claustrophobia or overheating with it?

[Snowie]

no @saltandpepper 

I even use it in summer and don't find it too hot.

I like the feeling of the weight on me, it makes me feel safe.

I will even get under it if my SI or SH levels are high.

That's great, thanks @Snowie always happy to find something that helps take the edge off

hi @saltandpepper 
Yes My daughter was given one to promote on her Insta page. It's an amazing big heavy blanket. Which reminds me I should get it from her. I loved it when I did use it. 
I know they are expensive. 
it would def help you @saltandpepper 

[saltandpepper]

Yeah right @BlueBay sounds good. Might have to take the plunge after I've kicked these ugly bills to the curb

Hi @saltandpepper I don't experience anxiety/claustrophobia under my weighted blanket.

I have had that got to get out of here panic before, but never with my blanket.
