ALPHA HOME Weighted Blanket 5 lbs, 36"x48" Heavy Blanket for Adults and Children- 100% Cotton Material with Free Minky Dot Cover, Teal

I wasn’t sure about the idea of a weighted blanket but with some recent increases in anxiety I thought I would give it a try. I bought a bit less weight then it said I should. It seems heavy when your carrying it all packed up or even getting it on but I doesn’t feel too heavy once it’s on. It’s perfect! I don’t use it every night but when I need it, it definitely helps my sleeping. I love that the cover is washable. I’m glad I made the choice to get one. If you struggle with anxiety and/or trouble sleeping, don’t hesitate to give it a try. It might surprise you how oh works!

Love that I can clean the cover:)

I purchased this 25 pound weighted blanket and cover set after falling in love with the first 20 pound weighted blanket I bought. It gets difficult to find blankets more than 20 pounds, so I was happy to run across this one. And, I was pleased with the price point when I realized that it included a cover. Because many weighted blankets aren't washable, a cover is absolutely necessary to protect them. From the photos, I could tell that the cover was a minky material similar to the GnO brand cover that I purchased for my Smart Queen 20 pound weighted blanket, so I was expecting similar quality. Well, I was a little disappointed with the quality of this cover, but I was pleased with the blanket, which is why I gave this set 4 stars. The blanket is heavy, yet the weight is evenly distributed. The small square pockets should ensure the weight doesn't shift around and clump in one area. The blanket also eight loops (1 in each corner and 1 in the middle of each side) to help anchor it to the cover which has corresponding ties. The cover is thinner than my GnO cover and is only minky on the top; the back of the cover feels like a grey cotton sheet whereas the GnO cover has the soft minky material on both sides and is a lot thicker. The Smart Queen blanket and GnO cover also have the built in loops and ties to keep the blanket from shifting around in the the cover. Although I purchased this as a set, I would have preferred for the items to separated. I would definitely buy the blanket again and just opt for the nicer GnO cover.

This product was late coming, and I did not get to give it as a gift. However, I decided to keep it myself and I love it. I sleep under it every night and it feels like a warm hug and somehow helps me reach a deep sleep.

I hardly ever wake up during the night any more! Sometimes I even wake up in the same position where I fell asleep. I used to wake up multiple times a night and was constantly anxious and tossing and turning, but with this I feel secure, like I’ve been tucked in and I’m safe. The only downside is that when you go to bed, the blanket is refreshingly cool, but by the time you wake up that coolness is gone and sometimes it’s a little warmer than I’d like, but the fabric is so soft and comfy otherwise.

This was purchased for a Christmas gift and wow, it's better than I thought it would be - after my son unwrapped it, everyone tried it out, the weight is perfect for better sleeping, my daughter fell asleep almost immediately after laying it on top of her, she loved, loved, loved it - she asked me where I got it, so I sent her the Amazon item link, hopefully these types of blankets are stocked more soon! The cover is very soft, just take it off of the blanket to wash and put back on - what a great idea!!

Ordered a 60 X 80 and received a 40 X 78. So not happy about that. But as far as a nice weighted blanket goes, this one is very nice, very elegant looking. Would highly recommend if you get the right size.

started out great then within a few weeks the weighted interior began to shift to one side as if there were no stitching to keep the weighting evenly distributed Sadly now it's basically heavy trash. What a waste of money. I have friends who have weighted blankets that they love. I recommend maybe another brand of better quality.
