I'm gonna give this blanket the whole 5 stars. I have had it for a week or two and i have no complaints.
The fabric is both very soft and comfortable on the skin. It's a lot thinner then i expected it to be but that is not an issue. The pockets are spaced very well and the weight distribution across the blanket is even. I did a shake test to see how much the beads moved and i had to really shake it to even notice they moved, and you really cant tell unless your trying to find the beads, which are quite small.
I purchased the king size 30lb blanket and it is pretty heavy, so much so that it can be hard to adjust the blanket if it needs moved around in the night. This is not a problem for me as I don't move around much when I sleep.
I also have pets, and my cats love to sleep on it when I'm not using it, and sometimes when I am using it! It's worth noting that pet hair doesn't seem to stick to it which is yet another positive.
For the price, this blanket has MORE then exceeded my expectations!
The blanket looks good, feels good, and I've gotten the best sleep I can remember with it. I was late to work this morning because i accidentally slept through my alarm and I think the blanket is to blame!

My opinion: Best weighted blanket on the market.
Yes, 25 lbs is heavy! I love it. Itâs the best weighted blanket Iâve ever bought.When you take it out of the package there is 0 smell of chemicals. If you have sensitive skin this is perfect for you. Itâs well worth the money. The quality is excellent. Itâs beautiful and I highly recommend it. A+

Great for mental health
I’ve had this blanket for almost a year now. So I’ve had plenty of time to see how it works for me. I ordered this for my mental health. I have bipolar disorder and experience depression. They recommend them because they aresupposed to be comforting. I definitely have experienced this personally. It gives you a security and feels like your being given a hug. The weight of the blanket has a lot to do with this. If its not weighted properly you wont havr the right experience. The suggested weights for your body weight are actually pretty broad. I was 250 when i ordered this and ordered the 22lb. I have since lost 50lbs and can say that i do notice a difference. Its enough of a difference that i could probably use the 20lb. But its not to where i feel crushed. A key thing to look for is if youre having difficulty breathing. I have not experienced this. As far as your mental health and general use having that extra weight makes you feel like you’re being spooned almost. If you sleep alone like I do, I’m sure you can see the benefit to this. The blanket stays nice and cool. You still have warmth from the weight but the glass beads have a cooling effect. I’m hot natured and can’t sleep if I get overheated. With this blanket I actually have a duvet insert on top that I sleep with also. This blanket has held up really well. I havent ever used a duvet cover with this. I have dogs and kids but even with that, there hasn’t been any fraying or separating of the material. The edging stiching has stayed in place with no leakage of the beads. I have washed it many times so there is some light piling. But that’s to be expected considering how long I’ve had it. The fabric is actually softer than it was when I first got it. So this doesn’t affect the feel. The color of the fabric has dulled over time though. I ordered it in white and it is now an off white. Now why i gave it 4 stars. I ordered a 60×80 queen size blanket. I measured it and I actually have a 75×56. It does not reach the edges of my mattress like they recommend. I should have sent this one back and ordered a king. So I would recommend that you size up with this brand. Other than that I really recommend this blanket from this brand for the quality and the price of it. These are usually not inexpensive products. So considering how well this has worked and held up I’d get this one.

Helps us get to sleep and sleep deeper
I bought this for my son who struggles to go to sleep at night. He falls asleep faster when he uses it. I love it too and take it whenever heâs not using it. I sleep deeper but have crazy dreams when I use it. It has held up well through a few washings, and even though it has to be air dried, it dries quickly.

Good Value
Good quality and weight. No leakage of weight material.

My child loves it- Soft textures and well made blanket. Helps them get to sleep easier. Wish it was a bit bigger- Although that would come with an increased weight I’m not sure they could get out of. My whole house is covered with Bare sheets and Duvet covers- All Excellent quality for the Price!

I just bought 2 more of these! Great weight distribution, super comfortble, attractive colors, and washes well. I wash everything before I use it, so in it went, cold gentle cycle with detergent and a dash of vinegar to set the color so it never runs or fades (important). It would take forever to hang dry and is too heavy to hang anyway so I popped it into the dryer with 2 dry bath towels. The blanket was perfectly dry in half an hour and my kid sleeping under it just 2 hours later. It was like magic watching this weighted blanket so gently confine, and then settle my wiggly ADHD child with restless legs. That’s the 10lb 40×60 green blanket. I love it, so the next day I got the velvety soft blue for my other kid (it’s gorgeous but might be too warm for some people, I suspect), and a 12lb 48×72 for myself. I chose not to get a queen because it is heavy, and I think a larger one would be awkward and cumbersome to position or adjust at night. Besides, I’m single. If I weren’t, I’d still consider 2 twins instead of a queen, personally. None of my family have been sleeping well lately but I look forward to some good rest tonight! As for choosing weight, I’d have definitely gone heavier years ago when my anxiety was super intense. For me now, the 12 lb twin blanket feels like I’m free to move but with resistance and it feels right. I’m a somewhat petite female. I had a great snuggle under it to try it out, and now it’s happily whirring in the washer.

Itâs not a true queen, more like a twin sizeVery nice blanket but just not a queen.

Not sure if it actually helps me sleep better but it is heavy and it keeps a cool feeling throughout the night.

This blanket is awesome – if you like the idea of some ‘compression’ on your body while sleeping to keep you from moving too much giving you a better nights sleep, look no further. Glad I bought this!
