So been hearing about these weighted blankets. Can anyone give me some reviews ? Would they recommened them.
Both myself and my partner struggle with anxiety, he even gets anxiety attacks. And sleeping can be difficult.
I have a weighted blanket and I absolutely love it! I also struggle with anxiety and I have regular meltdowns. I use the weighted blanket both before and after meltdowns; sometimes it prevents them altogether and sometimes it helps me calm down afterwards. I find it really relaxing. The one I have is made of glass fibre and for some reason, I don't find it makes me hotter (even in summer). 100% would recommend - give it a try :)
DuckBread I was looking at making one of these. I'm quite good on a sewing machine but is it tricky with the beads? Like, a bit if a faff? I'm looking at making one with natural fibres (a lot of the bought ones are synthetic and i sweat a lot at night....natural fibres help me breathe!). I was also considering glass beads over the plastic ones.
Any advice from your perspective? Thanks.
