It's much heavier than I thought, it'll be like having sleep paralysis. 3 hours ago, RH33 said: Exactly as it sounds, it contains material to make it heavier. Lots research into benefits for those who are neuro diverse. Flip side is trauma experienced feeling as though pinned down. https://www.sleepfoundation.org/best-weighted-blankets/weighted-blanket-benefits#:~:text=Weighted blankets use deep pressure,help improve overall sleep quality. Never heard of it but it's a right strange concept for me. Reticent to make any sort of wise crack about them though, given RH33's link. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read RH33’s link and saw they recommend 10% of the sleepers body weight for the blanket weight…I knew they were “heavier” than a normal blanket, but… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 We had a weighted blanket. Used it for maybe a fortnight then got rid of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Guaranteed that nobody buying weighted blankets has a cat. Many's the time I've woken up struggling to breathe with one of them perched on my chest, perturbed that my impending death has disturbed their sleep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made some terrible purchases whilst pished but the best was a soft top roof for my car for a fiver, which I forgot about until the boy turned up at my door the next day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shug like his duvet without weights so I doubt he'd be too chuffed if I ordered one for "his" bed! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the Douglas Clubbie in Dundee yesterday - for those unaware it's a tad rough* - and somebody come in with 4 bags off ill gotten goods. Ranging from underwear right up to a £80 bottle of aftershave. I felt emotional because I haven't seen such things since I left being g a mam of the people and started drinking in more salubrious surroundings. Will be back. Spoiler Saturday night there was a rumble. Boy got pool cue over his head. He then recieved a pool cue to his from the boy whose original pool cue it was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
