Cooling Weighted Blanket | 100% Natural Bamboo with Premium Glass Beads | 15 lbs | 48"x72" Twin Size | for Adult and Kids | Heavy Blanket | Folkstone Grey

I love my new WONAP blanket!!! I previously ordered twin size 15 lb blanket, but it felt too heavy on me. I kept waking up all night to the sensation of part of my body suddenly not being covered, and due to the wadded up king comforter from my half of the bed between my husband and me that I didn't need to use. I probably would have gotten used to the weight itself had the blanket stayed in place, and it was soooooo very comfy and soft, so I loved it, but due to the disarray of our bed using it, I had to return it. There is a very much needed king size for couples, or even larger adults in height or width so that the blanket stays in place. Couples need to be able to be under the same blanket in order to be comfortable at night, not use separate blankets. So, I searched thoroughly for an affordable king sized blanket that was made as well as the twin I previously purchased, with the same smooth and cool material and quality of workmanship. Below are my observations which may help others new to weighted blankets:BLANKET WEIGHT - I am small framed and short, but 170 lbs, and that means I was supposed to have a blanket with 15-17 lbs of weight. So using a twin, a good amount of weight on my body would be between 12-14 lbs subtracting the weight in the areas not covering my body. So knowing that, I had to figure out what weight of a king blanket to order. If I thought the 15 lb twin felt a bit heavy, then maybe a 20 lb king would reduce the amount on my body on my side of the bed to around 8 lbs which is a few lbs less than the twin. However, the heavy weight of the twin blanket was primarily due to the fact that it never stayed in place and I was always having to straighten it over my body causing me to have to heft the weight around while lying down and dealing with the initial first few minutes of being aware of the weight (doesn't last long.) So then I wondered if I should get a 30 lb King to assure me about 11-13 lbs of weight would be on my side of the bed to be equivalent to the twin. That's a 10 lb difference in choosing and I was worried the 30 lb weight would be too heavy. This particular blanket didn't come in 20 lbs, so I was delighted that they offered a 25 lb blanket. Boy am I glad I didn't get the 20 lb one. This one doesn't feel as heavy as I thought it would, and I think only about 9-10 lbs of weight is actually on me, less than the twin, which ended up not being enough! I was right in my conjecture that the twin was indeed the perfect weight for me had it stayed in place. Therefore, to get nearer to that, I would have to buy a 30 lb king blanket. Because of the spread and weight on the edges, it wouldn't be too heavy at all, but would actually deliver at least 12 lbs directly to my body - perfect. Around 10-20% of the weight will be wasted in the areas that don't cover our bodies, and 1/2 of the remaining would be on each side of the bed (theoretically.) My husband isn't used to weighted blankets yet so my recommendation to go heavier spooked him. He thinks it's heavy enough, LOL, but he isn't complaining either!!! He has restless rhythmic leg syndrome (wife-diagnosed, lol) and a huge snoring problem. Ever since we started using this blanket, I haven't woken to his snores or his repetitive leg movements. I don't think he has moved his legs at all! Maybe I can get him to switch to a 30 lb soon. :)BLANKET SIZE: Most of the King sized selections are way too small of a size, 80x87. That's because they think having any of the blanket go past the edge of the bed is a wasted weight. However, if you order 5 lbs heavier in a larger size, then that itty bitty weight hanging off the edge of the bed actually holds the blanket in place! This WONAP blanket was 88x92, and we turned it so that the longer side goes sideways on our bed, side to side - this allows for about 4-5" to hang over each edge of our bed, and about 8" extra length at the foot, great for a tall man like my husband. While you don't want a lot of the blanket to hang over the edge of the bed and waste too much of that bead weight, having too little or none causes more movement of the blanket along with your own body movements. That little bit on this WONAP size is perfect, holding it in place all night so that our turning was without affecting the position of the blanket, and that is sooooo comfortable. Each turn or movement of my body would hit a nice cool spot of the blanket, so I never overheated.BLANKET MATERIAL and MAINTENANCE: The bamboo viscose is indeed supremely soft and cool. MUCH cooler than cotton!!! It's true! Since I don't want to miss out on the soft and cool feeling of the blanket next to my skin, we currently have a sheet over the top of it so that it won't get dirty by our kitties or doggy. But we have to make sure we go to bed without dirt or sweat on our bodies if we want to keep the side touching us clean, therefore a duvet will help. I can wash this blanket in a commercial washing machine, (you can wash the lighter ones in your home machine, but anything above 15 lbs might be too much for residential machines...) so that will be infrequent. Therefore I will purchase a duvet as soon as I can save up, but it MUST be one made with the same bamboo viscose, on both sides! While the minky covers are indeed so luxuriously soft, (bought a queen blanket with one of those for my son and used it one night to test out the weight,) I had more issues feeling hot with that kind. The blanket itself is 400 TC Cotton which doesn't do quite as good of a job as bamboo with cooling, and I think the bamboo minky material blocks what little the comforter was doing. ?? Not sure if the cotton is that much worse or if the minky material is somewhat to blame too. So I won't be going for the minky unless I buy a throw for the couch.PRICE: Some King size offerings are a bit larger than this one, but they are way above my price range. This one was a very good deal for the same or better quality, and the PERFECT measurement. Goldilocks measurement really, not too big and not too small. Reasonable prices are the products that get our business, period.

This was a pretty good blanket. But it just got confiscated in Canada in airport security. I made the mistake of not putting it in my checked in suitcase, not knowing the Canadian rule on the amount of "inorganic material" that you can have. This blanket exceeded that limit. I've traveled with different weighted blankets in my carryon to different countries and never had any problems. Just Canada. Otherwise, it was a good little blanket, perfect fir travel...well, almost.

What do you get for a 16 year old grandson who has just about everything? A weighted blanket! He loves it and it is something he will uses every night. This blanket was so well made, we were glad we made this purchase and so is he.

My husband has wanted a weighted blanket for a long time. I got him a 20lb one for Christmas and had to return it because it was too heavy for me. Got this one instead and it's pretty cozy. It tends to slip down a little at the foot of the bed because the material is a little on the silky side - it would benefit from having a cover that is less slippery to keep it in place.One major downside is the size - and this is not something that is specific to this particular blanket. Weighted blankets are designed to fit the size of the mattress footprint. So they are fitted to cover the top of the mattress and not have anything hang over the sides. This is so gravity isn't pulling down on them and causing them to fall to one side or the other. A queen blanket will only fit the top of the mattress, which makes it a little weird if you are in a shared bed situation. We've figured how to make it work, but this is something that everyone should know before they buy one. Otherwise it comes and you think they sent the wrong size.Overall I'm happy with this purchase.

We sleep with this all year round. If it gets too hot in summer I just touch the outside of it and it is so cool to the touch. I have the 30 lb. I thought at first it would be too heavy but I’ve e gotten use to it and it is just right. We love it

I'm in a skilled nursing facility for PT following a serious back injury and have anxiety. I find this blanket helps me be less anxious and get better quality sleep.One thing, I find it very warm sometimes, but I'm someone who is always too hot and this facility is ridiculous with the temperature in the rooms.Also pay attention to the weight. I didn't account for, that being in this facility, how many different people would be moving the blanket and this one is, perhaps a bit, too heavy but I personally have no problem moving it where I desire.And the tag says to hand wash so be vigilant. 😀
