I get even a couple of blankets on my feet, I am trying to throw them off. And I am one who wants warm, wife wants cold but still, heavy blankets?
Sounds like a BS ad campaign to me. Why would anyone want weights around their blankets anyway, how would that EVER help warm you up? I bet it would feel more like a cocoon, or a sarcophagus....
@old-indian
Looks like a general purpose thumbs down on someone who just hates us. If I said it is noon, at 12 o'clock and time for lunch that dude would thumb it down.
@old-indian saidThe last one was from the Ghost.
Be more fun if we knew who gave the thumbs up or down eh?
@old-indian saidI am pretty sure the 2nd one was from Very Rusty.

@sonhouse saidThe idea comes from weighted clothes that provide firm pressure in the form of a hat or vest, etc which are sometimes used for children on the ASD spectrum. They can help children feel more grounded and aid concentration in a classroom as the child feels more in touch with the position of their bodies and where they are in relation to other objects around them.

@drewnogal saidWe have a son who's on the autism spectrum ( Asperger syndrome) and we got him a "weighted" blanket for sleeping (he's very, very restless at night). It didn't seem to work. We figured nothing ventured, nothing gained and as it turned out the latter was the result.

@great-big-stees saidSleep is a tricky one, I’m sure everyone slept better before computers?

@drewnogal saidI remember as a kid my mam used to wrap my baby sister up quite tightly i think she called it swaddling.

@badradger saidI did that to my sister as well. (She was 26 and didn't appreciate it).
