Realize that for whatever reason, weighted blankets are NOT the same size as normal blankets. Apparently they are considered more ‘throws’ than blanket, and meant to be on top of the bed, but not tucked in. Found this for comparison:
Most twin sized mattresses measure around 39” by 75.” The standard twin size blanket dimensions will be around 66” by 90”.
Note, I have/use a weighted blanket. It is “queen-sized” at 60" x 80". I started using it last year because I literally have cold feet. So I turn this sideways, and then I can tuck it in on all three sides, but only comes a third of the way up. Which is fine by me.
So, to sum up… all weighted blankets have not-normal sizes. Be aware.
“you can get him an embarrassing padded vest that hugs his panic-stricken dog body tight and puts him at ease.”
Or you can just let him sprawl full length on you, and then he gets comfort and you get a 60 pound weighted blanket, which is clearly 4 times as good as this.
@brainmist with the added plus that he doesn’t need to be spot cleaned only, when dirty he can have a full on bath. Also comes in a variety of sizes/colors. Mine is lemon drop beagle print.
@steeltoesenator But the negative of, he may need that spot cleaning at 3 am because he’s just messily dispatched a VERY large raccoon, and now needs comfort and snuggles but also has had his face in a raccoon.
It’s a sad commentary on dog ownership/Stockholm syndrome (debunked with humans, substantiable with dogs) that, after trying to fend him off, I resigned myself to dying of diseases and just washing all the bedding very thoroughly the next day.
I’m not buying this one, but the whole idea of what amounts to having a thin, spread out animal sleeping on top of you all night I just can’t get. Reminds me of Mitch Hedburg: “Wearing a turtleneck is like having a really weak guy strangling you all day long.”
I bought one for my wife, who promptly told it was too hot to use it. Maybe Meh will wait until next winter when I can give a testimony to it helping my wife sleep, or not.
Hate to be negative but Amazon has the same blanket for $25.99 with 1 day shipping free to prime members , so why buy it here in all honesty, 15 lbs. 48x72 inches, that is WITH OUT THE SHERPA LINING , The comparison is now 15% off on Amazon so it is actually $53.54 with one day shipping so if you want the lining Than buy the Meh blanket, here’s another tidbit they say the blanket for full effect needs to be 10% of body weight so a 15lb blanket is for someone 140 to 160 lbs. good luck hope this helps!!!
I just took this thing out of the package today. Within a day, the bed and the floor are covered in what feels like sand and looks like broken glass. Wonderful.

@Kyser_Soze
So much freaking comfort.
Weighted blankets for when you are half awake and gotta pee and your step sister gives you a crooked smile.
@Num1Zero What if you don’t sleep with your step sister?
/giphy sicko
@Kyser_Soze the blanket will comfort you in times of rejection. At least you tried…
Just got one of these and the beads work their way through the “Sherpa” lining. Little glass and plastic bits all over my bed, but not all at once.
Avoid, I’d say. Maybe worth it at <=20$
@Felixaurelius this exact blanket?

@haydesigner I was going to buy one until I read this comment and now I’m uncertain.
I figuratively have cold feet.

My disabled wife loves hers and uses it often to help her with muscle and joint pain as well as anxiety from her medication.
@mr_crash_davis HAPPY SHE IS GETTING RELIEF…

@sheldon_c
My cat is enough trouble. Last thing I need is something else smothering me in my sleep.
@sheldon_c @weatherseed I have adapted to a nightly smothering of 120 pounds of dog, and only find it problematic when the kicking starts.
I bought one for my wife, who promptly told it was too hot to use it. Maybe Meh will wait until next winter when I can give a testimony to it helping my wife sleep, or not.
“like YOUR being hugged”
Goodbye, Meh.
@alextheaverage You’re loss.
@alextheaverage @Rowsdower Y’o’u’r’e’ speeeling it wrong.
@alextheaverage I came here to mock the same grammar. But I’m not leaving over it, that’s quite the overreaction.
@alextheaverage @Rowsdower @yakkoTDI
Yer right.
These are lined with Sherpas? Isn’t that illegal?
@OnionSoup My first thought, too
HELP! I’M BLANKETED AND I CAN’T GET UP!!
These are great! I get to use less bricks when rolling up
“deadbeats” and tossing them in the river…
@Bumplepimp hmm.
A possible person of interest
@Bumplepimp @pixelated What if they owe you less than $29?

“Stuff it in a duvet if you want to, fancypants”
That would be like stuffing a pillow into a pillow instead of into a pillow case.
For your edification, a duvet is a comforter-like piece of bedding that gets stuffed into a duvet cover, fancypants.
Your welcome.
@rpstrong *you’re
@lyoness Did you miss the “like your being hugged” comments?
$5 less than during the meh-rathon? Hmmm.

@mellowirishgent Where am I going to find a 45 lb. blanket?
@mellowirishgent @Trinityscrew I haven’t counted, but this one looks like it might fit the bill
@mellowirishgent you need another mask.
I see what you did there.
Getting another one for my mother, I got her a non-furry one, so now she’ll have one better suited for winter.
/giphy chunky-painstaking-chili
Size: 48"x72"???
That’s itty!
why?
