Weighted blankets

[Gemini]

Does anyone have any experience of these?
DD bought one for GS1, whose sleep problems seem to have returned with the lockdown. He is falling asleep much faster now.
A friend has an adult one and says it helps with her restless legs and other things keeping her awake. I am tempted to try one, but they are expensive.

This is the type DD bought, the friend said she bought hers from John Lewis.

I have never heard of them Gem, are they a bit hot to sleep under?

I am member on a Lipedema site and a few of the ladies have one, often buy them in Austria whilst on holiday. Other from that I have never heard of them! They say they are very good for the lymph system.

Gem - my GS1 has one - he's on the autistic spectrum. I've just WhatsApp'd his mum to see if it helps and if it's too hot in the summer. I imagine she got it from JL.

I'll let you know what she says.

I've had a reply from DIL about GS's weighted blanket.

It was well worth getting one for him and he finds it very soothing and calming, but yes it is a bit warm in the summer.

Thanks Daisy.
