I finally gave into the hype about weighted blankets after 6 months of doubt

My friend in Chicago swore hers fixed her insomnia, so I borrowed it for a week and actually slept through the night for the first time in years. Did anyone else fight buying one for ages only to realize it actually works?

My wife bought one last year and I tried to be supportive but I really thought it was just another expensive fad. After about three nights I had to take it off because I felt like I was being smothered. I actually sleep worse with it, I toss and turn trying to get comfortable. I know a lot of people love them but for me it just made me feel claustrophobic.

@murphy.mason same here, that weighted blanket feel turned my bed into a straight-up trap.

My buddy said he felt like he was sleeping under a pile of laundry.
