There are teeny-tiny balls of glass everywhere. So, not only does it not reduce my anxiety, it makes my home a mess.

A weighed blanket would only cause me anxiety.

You can have mine OP. I tried it because I heard it could help with restless legs syndrome. It did help, but it made the top sheet touch my back in a way that drove me crazy so I stopped using it.

Sounds very restricting and not at all desirable in this heat.

My weighted blanket is still leaking. I know you've all been on the edge of your seats waiting for this breathless update.

Mary! Wrong thread! I meant that for the Weinstein thread! Sorry!

Most weighted blankets you can't even wash. Yuck. I want one of those heavy aprons they put on you for dental x-rays. I love the feeling.

Weighted blanket? Do as your betters do and buy actual, proper, LINEN.

Why do you never read any medieval letters bitching about their sheets?

Because those sheets were made of LINEN.

Linen would be weighLESS not weightED, R10. The weight is for the anxiety of having the teensy-tiny, barely visible, glass balls all over my house and I'm worried they're getting in my eyes.

Now I know how Joni feels with her Morgellon's: misunderstood.

Wouldn't you want a nice light, airy blanket OP? Why would you want something that feels like a duvet?

Too bad. Farmers are hot.

Oh settle down - some of my best friends are hot farmers.

In what country are farmers hot?

R9, i was about to ask if it's anything like that. My sedatation dentist gassed me up gives a valium and throws that over me. I'd pull my own teeth in that situation.

Blankets are things you eat when the food leaves for vacation. R18

All of them.

There are all kinds of linen sheets and there is an hold fashioned kind that is very dense, very thick, and weighty. That and a vintage wool blanket, would equal plenty of weight.

OP don't be a cheapskate drama queen. Throw your Goddamned abomination of a weighted blanket away and buy a new piece of crap just like it. I am sure your entire life is filled with crap.

How would the glass balls get in your eyes? Your eyes are closed when you sleep. Are you part snake?
