I get very hot when I sleep so the thought of a weighted blanket didn’t sound appealing to me. I found the perfect weighted blanket for that issue.

This blanket comes with a cover that is a minky plush material for those who like to stay cozy and warm. If you are a hot sleeper like me, you can just remove this cover and it actually has a cooling effect. The pockets of this blanket have glass beads evenly distributed so it doesn’t bunch up in one area.

Even though it says “kids” this blanket is suitable for everyone. It comes in a variety of different weights. They recommend picking  a weight that is equal to 10% of your body weight.

I’m not joking when I say this blanket hugs in all the right places. It can be warm and cozy, or cool and soothing.
