My wife has one on our bed and we only use it for our lower legs. It seems to help with moving around so much in my sleep and she likes it as well.

My wife has one. She likes it, the weight of it usually just irritates me when I'm trying to go to sleep.

I have tried it. It worked for the first couple of days but I went back to waking up early. I was also having extremely vivid dreams and jumping and growling in my sleep according to my wife...

Those first couple of days it worked were amazing though!

Smoke a bowl before bed. If you wake up, smoke a bowl and go back to bed.

Weighted blanket


Sounds like something you'd use to dispose of a body in a river or lake.

Be careful. Weighted blankets have suffocated more idiots than plastic bags.

I don't doubt it. Made me think about people that sleep with their dogs, I wonder how many dogs have been trapped under there and suffocated.

I throw it on my wife when she refuses to get up in the mornings. About the only thing it’s good for. $85 alarm.

35 pounds? That's like sleeping with a small child draped over you. And I hate making a bed with a normal sheet and blanket. A 35 pound blanket would cut down on the gym time, though.

I sleep with 2 of them for a total of 35 pounds and I like them.
But I’m starting to discover I sleep ruff with them and start fighting it off of me during the night. Then all the blankets get tangled up together and it’s hard to untangle in your sleep

It’s not that heavy feeling once it’s all the way laid down on top of you and the weight is distributed equally. Picking it up is a pain though. I can def see how you could not like it if you sleep on your stomach though.

I have back issues, hate saying that because everyone does, and as a result I end up sleeping however feels best. I may go to sleep on my side and wake up on my back or stomach or somewhere in-between. That's why it has always been difficult to find a pillow because it always starts with, "Are you a side sleeper, or....". The answer is, Yes, I'm all of those. I rarely have trouble actually sleeping long enough, but I manage to hit all the sleeping positions on a given night.
I sort of envy those who can go to sleep in one position and wake up hours late in that same position.
