CoolZen™ Cooling Weighted Blanket 25 lbs with Removable Cover — Heavy Blanket for Adults, Calming, & Sleeping — Weighted Comforter with Premium Glass Beads for All Seasons — 60”x80” Queen Bed Size

It’s like sleeping under 20 blankets all at once but without all the bulk. I ordered the 25lb 60x80 size and let me tell ya, this thing is heavy. The smaller size is less heavy but my guess is the thickness and heavy feel is probably the same, it only weighs less because it is smaller. Very well made, like hospital quality. And the cover is very soft and plush.I don’t care for duvet covers in general because they don’t stay in place except for where the attachment points are located. This one is no different but the blanket is so heavy you don’t want to ever try to move the blanket by just grabbing the cover or else I could see the cover tearing. Not to imply that the cover isn’t well made, it is. Very well made in fact. Just something to be aware of.I purchased this blanket mainly for sleeping at night in bed, with the thought that if I really like it then I might order another one for the couch and TV binge watching. The blanket is too heavy I think for this as it isn’t easily slung around. And with a large dog I wouldn’t want her claws to accidentally damage it.Anyway, after a couple of nights I love this blanket. I sleep soooo good. It’s like being snuggled all night. It is probably too warm for me to use in the summer but it’s been perfect so far in the cooler fall weather. I sleep very hot though so it probably won’t be too much of an issue for others unless you are a very hot sleeper also.

Hello, I am a 6 foot 4 inch (192 cm), 270lb (122kg) 42 year old, adult male on the Autism spectrum (high functioning) who just recently bought this Queen blanket (25lbs) version. Since these things are all the rage for kids with autism and I articulate well I figured I ought to chime in.Ok in no particular order...How does it feel? First time I had this blanket on me I was struck by that nice pressure feeling. It reminded me of "scout camp" where I would crawl into a sleeping bag and in an effort to stay warm I start piling things on top of myself to add more insulation. This blanket properly communicates to your entire body that it is there.Why is this important? Well here's my own little theory about "pressure", each sensor on the body is in a constant state of sending feedback information to the brain. However, unlike neurotypicals there is no "filter" for this information. People on the spectrum aren't "more sensitive" they just can't stop or ignore the body's full range of sensitivity from being relayed to them. Try having someone gently blow the hair on your body, that tickling sensation is what it's like, non-stop sensory awareness feedback. The only other time it dulls is when I'm swimming.So what this blanket does is put pressure on those sensors, forcing them into a state of ON instead of the constant ON/OFF. It's weight lets your body know it is covered everywhere and on all sides. So, you don't have to spend your time questioning or wondering. It allows you to relax because it frees up mental resources. For those with active "imaginations" the blanket communicates "no monster, spider, whatever" will be able to sneak into bed with you without to being aware of it. You are protected on all sides.Moving on.Tactile sensation - pass. Very smooth and comfy (at least with the cover on). No rough spots. For me it is made of the material I like my favorite shirts to be made of. However, if you want something a big stiffer you could take the cover off.Warmth - Have yet to overheat. In fact it does quite well at distributing heat well. This is good because it helps with the "heat sensor" with autism. One nice bland temperature through the whole body, no conflicts to drive you nuts."Issues" -25lbs spread over a Queen sized area (no XL size *sadness*) means don't expect to "fluff" this blanket without working some major muscle groups or maybe hurting yourself (back). It's like going to the gym and swinging ropes or chains. The weight also makes cover that goes on the blanket a chore to put on. However, that's what it is....a weighted blanket.Takes some getting used too - took me several days to get used to having it on my body even if it was comfortable. It definitely makes it harder to change position in bed.Cover attachment - I wish the cover was more tightly attached to the blanket somehow. It feels....kind of like sometimes the weight sinks to one end (the feet). However, I could have just not put it on appropriately.Misc - for me 25lbs is not enough. I still have an extra couple blankets on me. Also having all that weight on you while you sleep makes your body feel a lot lighter when you get out of bed so its not as hard to get up/out.Makes me feel a little lonely. The only time I get this kind of pressure on my body is when someone ELSE is applying it. So, on one level it is emotionally comforting, on the other well....42 years old I've learned to get used to being alone.

I used to sleep on my stomach a lot when I was a kid and I have had difficult since kicking the habit. Something about it was really soothing and made it really easy to fall asleep, but the actual sleeping position itself is very bad for your neck.My late 20's hit, and my neck started hurting. I knew immediately what it was because my ergonomic chair caused the neck pain to go away during the day, but it would then flare up when I woke up in the morning.So I resolved to sleep on my back or side to fix this issue. Immediate improvements in my neck pain and my mental health were felt. I no longer struggled waking up every morning and the neck pain was dulled, but something was still there.I realized that in my sleep, I would do gymnastics and constantly toss and turn my position so that I'd eventually revert back to sleeping on my stomach in the middle of the night. This has happened many times recently where I end up waking up because my brain unconsciously knows I should not be sleeping on my stomach, because I have trained it so well into my brain to not go to sleep on my stomach.As a result, I have been incredibly sleep deprived for the past year or so because the amount of sleep I mentally got was completely random. I would wake up after 3 hours super often because I'd toss and turn myself into a stomach sleeping position and wake myself up because my neck would hurt. But at least it was progress, because this is better than slowly killing my neck.This was my last ditch attempt before talking to my physician about things. It worked! Hugging a pillow and then wrapping myself in the weighted blanket does the trick. I do not move around when sleeping like that.I just woke up after sleeping 12 hours uninterrupted without changing my position once. I sprung out of bed and I feel like a new person.

I read a lot of reviews before I decided to spend twice as much as I had planned. I am glad I did. I am very happy with this weighted blanket. Surprisingly, even though I have woke up sweaty in the past (from all the blankets), I have not had that experience with this weighted blanket.The weight feels great on me. I did not like how the cover slips around on the blanket (despite the ties), so I am using it without the cover (which is optional anyway).
