Heavy blanket...

A few weeks ago I saw a display at Wal-Mart of quilted blankets that are filled with glass beads. The theory is a weighted blanket gives more comfort and can relieve stress, decreasing movement and allowing the person more deep, restorative REM cycle.

I sleep with a comforter year round and now, in winter months have 2 layers.
South Florida had a few weeks of cold weather this season... cold by our standards with nights as low as 45 degrees Fahrenheit. It was 70 outside last night, the a/c was off and a window fan was on. Too warm for a double layer blanket, I was up several times tossing and turning. I'll make an adjustment for that tonight as I typically get better rest with blankets than sheets.

Using blanket in Florida? scold scold scold

Lucky you have someone to get under that blanket with you. It is hot under there without any friction.
I don't know about that concept.
However, laundering a blanket filled with glass beads does not sound like it would be easy, especially when in they dryer. laugh
the dryer ........ .not "they dryer"
They come with a washable duvet cover.
We do the same with standard comforters.
I'm heard of them and believe my father may have one with good reviews for him. I see no need for one as I can barely stand my own skin as a covering in our heat. Although it got cool enough I used a light cover the last few weeks. Been running the A/C a bit the last few days.
Fay, what temperature do you set your a/c at?
I keep it high like 78 to 80 but sit smack in front of a fan. If I have company then between 72 and 75.

when I stayed at Mom's for the week end I came home to the house being 84 degees. I blasted the A/C

What temp do you keep it at?
78 Works for us
