weighted blanket? and idea for a cheap one

raspberrypie

my therapist suggested one. i was dubious. before i even looked online (and saw they can cost $200!!!!) i looked around my house and came up with a super old, heavy sleeping bag (musty and smelly, but i'm a guy so it's fine), and old blue 'moving mats.' movers use them to move things, to protect the objects, like, say  a piano mover..... i tried all that, just covering myself, and nearly suffocated and died from the weight... ok, it was only 15lbs or so. so next night i try just the old sleeping bag, 7 lbs. felt good! i felt safer. 

anyone else? i'm going to continue trying this experiment, as long as it feels good. and of course, cost? zero.

happy and healthy december all....

  • If you decide to buy a cheap one, you'll find that you have to replace it more often and its far more expensive. You'll want one with purchasables covers as most of them are not washing machine washable.Most of them are filled with metal or ceramic ball bearings. when i was a child my sister put multiple duvets in one quilt cover which was effective until it came to summer time.
