Members shared mixed experiences with weighted blankets for sleep and anxiety, with some finding them comforting and secure while others worried about feeling crushed or overheated due to pain sensitivity. Several members described feeling eager to try one after hearing positive reviews, with one member praising their 9kg blanket for making them feel hugged and protected, while another noted concerns about cost and temperature regulation. A recurring theme was curiosity and cautious optimism, with members planning to test weighted blankets for themselves and report back to the community.

I can't stand the duvet on me as I feel its crushing me couldn't imagine deliberately having something heavy on me but I guess its worth a try- not for me though.

I have a 9kg weighted blanket and I wouldn't be without it. It makes you feel hugged, secure and protected. It improved my sleep a little, for me it was a positive investment.
