“I bought both this and the Luna blanket. When I first unpacked this blanket, I loved it! It was so soft and the fabric felt cool and watery smooth in my hands. Upon taking off the duvet cover to wash, I was a little disappointed to see that the blanket itself had loose threads everywhere, and what looked suspiciously like a molted insect skin. (I really hope that doesn't have repercussions down the road; if there was a skin, were there eggs?) I trimmed the threads and washed both the duvet cover and the blankey, and they both washed beautifully.Unlike the Luna blanket, the beads really do seem to be woven into the padding. Even after washing, I couldn't see the beads sliding to the bottoms of the individual pockets.However. I slept with the blanket last night. I normally wake frequently during the night. With the Luna blanket, I went to sleep and woke up at 6:00 the next morning. With the Weighted Evolution, I woke every hour or so, finding I'd kicked the blanket off in my sleep because it's so hot. I'd cover myself back up, go back to sleep, and wake up again uncovered an hour later. The bamboo feels luxuriously cool when I'm just handling it, but it warms up really quickly when I'm surrounded by it, and holds the heat. I already have a good cotton duvet cover that I'm going to try with the blanket before returning it, but if you're buying for the "cooling" bamboo cover, as I did, I don't recommend it.”
“Oh my goodness, y’all, this blanket is perfection! First of all, shipping was super fast. Always a plus. But when I opened the package...the color, a perfect heather grey...the feel, soooooo freaking soft! It’s my first weighted blanket, so I didn’t know exactly what to expect, heaviness wise, but I immediately felt a sense of calm when I laid it on me. Which is exactly what I hoped for! As much as I wanted it for me, I pulled the trigger, so to speak, because of my youngest daughter. She is 5, and profoundly deaf, with other sensory processing issues, and has occasional myclonic seizures only at night. For her, a good nights sleep doesn’t exist. The darkness, the silence, the distance from my room to hers...its a lot for her. So this was really for her, with a lot of hopes it would help her feel calm and relaxed. And so far, so good!!! Praying it helps her long term. If youre looking for a blanket for similar reasons, I honestly cannot recommend this blanket enough!!”
“Wow. Not as heavy as you would think. Follow the guidelines for selecting a weight. You instantly adapt to using it. You instantly feel calmer. The material is soft and the weights are evenly distributed with diamond pattern on the blanket.”
“I love it, I wish I had one a long time ago. Can’t sleep without it. I recommend it to anyone who has trouble sleeping and wants that feeling of comfort and warmth.”
“I got this blanket because I have serious anxiety about going to the dentist and I have a hard time laying there still. I took this blanket and it completely changed my experience. I’ve starting using it when I have a hard time falling asleep and it makes me so sleepy and relaxed within minutes. Highly recommend, I couldn’t love this more.”
“This blanket is by far an amazing addition to my goodnights rest. Been struggling to sleep well for months now and this has helped out tremendously! I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone!”
