I trust this man's review about the blanket and his sleep. Just look at his hair standing up in the back. It doesn't lie.
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me about to end smile faces career 😑😑😑😑
That’s a good one 😆😆😆👍
I think I got it
Pros: really comfy
Cons: way too f-ing comfy
Exactly! Haha
I can't wait to try mine😂
I struggle falling asleep and staying asleep with my ADHD. I don’t get the comfort I need when trying to sleep makes me struggle. I FINALLY got one and oh. My. God. I’ve never fallen asleep so quickly and STAY asleep without medication!
So happy to hear you love it and are experiencing the benefits! To this day, I still fall asleep in record time and stay asleep while using it! I am an anxious person and this blanket puts my thoughts to sleep too!
Haha, I'm an insomniac myself. Sleeping in more doesn't sound like a con to me. I honestly can't remember the last time I slept in. That would be great! Thanks for the review.
Definitely give weighted blankets a try then! Should help insomnia for sure!
Amen
This is a spot on review, I bought myself a weighted blanked for Christmas, i always wake up naturally each morning between 430 and 530 am. After a week under the blanket, I've accidentally slept in to 8am, which is not an option since i have 6am pills to take ;)
Haha. Nice to hear you got the same results! Best to set a couple alarm clocks while using a weighted blanket. Lol
I received mine 2 days ago...I absolutely love it!I work nights so it’s perfect for me!
Happy to hear it works for you! I love mine too! Out like a light bulb every night.
Do you sleep hot?
@@justbored5222 No,My temperature in my home is set to freezing nightly,so it works perfectly for me.
Same here. Add some black out curtains and it's the best sleep ever
I agree with his review. My hubby just bought me one this month. I was also having a hard time sleeping since we work on graveyard shifts. It takes me 2 or 3 hours before I can really fall asleep and just little noises wakes me up. So far since using a weighed blanket, it helped me sleep a lot faster and my dream are more vivid! I dream a lot, like I dream almost everytime I sleep. But since using the blanket, my dreams are longer and more vivid. :)) I'm around 140 pounds and my blanket is 15 lbs.
Sounds like you're sleeping great! I still use mine to this day! You are actually getting better quality sleep because the blanket gets you into REM sleep faster and for longer durations!
I love your review. I was unsure about this blanket but after watching your video I will definitely buy one. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for letting me know. You will be pleased I am sure of it :-)
Had my new 25lb blanket for about 4 days now....love it
Great to hear! I love my 20lb...thinking of ordering a 25lb too.
Thank you for an honest, down-to-earth review!
You bet! Hope it helped 🙏
I just bought mine today not knowing all these other benefits attached to it. I got it to accompany my other throw. When i bought it, i straight way knew i wasn't gonna use it to put directly on my skin. I can't stand certain feels on my skin, so i used mine the same way you all use yours. I have the one blanket for skin comfort and the weighted blanket as reinforced warmth due to its weight. Right now I.m satisfied.
Congrats on the new blanket! I am sure you will like it. They are amazing! Happy to hear you found a method that works.
Excellent review. After an introduction
to a weighted blanket I decided to purchase one. Love it!
Glad it was helpful! Enjoy your new blanket!
I have had mine a few days and it have only made my sleeping worse since I wake up every time I try to turn in my sleep and get stuck under the weight.
Oh no! Did you get the proper weight blanket for your body weight?
All the cons seemed to be about two people, im one person and ive been looking at weighted blankets recently because i sleep better with weight on me and i get really hot at night so this blanket sounds like my dream come true
Sounds perfect for you! Give it a try and let me know how it goes for you 🙂
They do recommend a blanket person too rather than a shared one
@@nicoleharrison6984 - I didn't know that. All I know is it works wonders one blanket for both of us.
100% on the long epic dreams. I experience the exact same effect under the weighted blanket
Glad to hear it David! I really think the longer more epic dreams are because our weighted blankets are making us sleep deeper and in more REM cycles 😀
When you say you stay in bed later in the morning, are you really sleeping later or just lying in bed later. Again, it’s the difference between “waking up” and “getting up.”
No, I am sleeping later AND laying in bed later as it's so hard to get out. Lol
@@JMGENTERPRISES Before this blanket, I used to periodically wake up at 3 am and either never got back to sleep or took hours to get back to sleep or used porn and orgasms to get back to sleep. Now, I wake up at 9 am. TH-cam has always been the primary reason that I have stayed in bed until 1 pm or the battery dies, whichever comes first.
Thanks for the review. Listened to a lot of videos and just bought using your link. First time I’ve heard a product works too well. I definitely need that!
Thanks for watching and commenting Laura! I swear by these blankets! I hope you get the same results. Please let me know how it goes for you.
@@JMGENTERPRISES I sure will. And wow thanks for the reply.
Will buy thanks for the info
Let me know how you like it!
I would put pillow on top of me and around me to hide in when I was a kid until the present. I’m surprised to find out this exists! AAAAAAAAAAA 🌸 Im soo happyyy
I hid under pillows too! Haha. Yes, give a weighted blanket a try! So amazing!
What size for a 4 year old average expected weight?
I'm not quite sure. They usually have weight recommendations on the Amazon listing
Con: "Works too well, we don't want to get out of bed so we had to put it away.
Hahaha. It's true though!!
How about separate twin blankets for each of you? Do you think that might solve some of the cons?
That's a great idea! I would think that would help solve some of the cons for us.
@@JMGENTERPRISES Cool. I noticed when I found out about the Hushed Ice blankets (which are too expensive for me) that they said this: "The Twin blanket is perfect for personal use on the bed. It's meant to wrap around your body in a perfect stress-relieving cocoon. We recommend getting this one even if you are sleeping on a Queen bed (it will reach the edges)." And that way you can get a lower weight when it's just for one person and not shared.
@@wabewawa61 - Perfect! Thanks for the tip! We will give that a try!
Sounds like it's worth a try.
Have you thought of trying a lighter weight blanket? Maybe you'll have less of the cons but still get a better sleep than a regular blanket.
We have thought of ordering a lighter weight blanket but haven't as of yet. I will let you know if we do and what we think. It sounds like it would remove some of the cons.
You had me at “EPIC dreams”.
It really does bring on the amazing dreams for me. Epic nightly adventures
Thanks for the review man!! Great vid!!
Any time! Glad you enjoyed it!
how do you clean it
I should try this. Thank you!!
You should! It works for us. I bought one for my mother and she now sleeps like a baby too. Also, our close friends use them on occasion. But they agree, the only issue is it makes getting out of bed really hard in the morning.
solution: get rid of Girlfriend
Haha
btw that's so crazy that it takes you an hour to fall asleep! kinda feel bad for you. I usually fall asleep in 2 minutes. and yeah, heat regulation is also crucial, to be on the cooler side, and certainly not overheating. so it's not only the weight helping, as you said as well. btw you should probably get separate blankets
Yeah, I too like to run on the cooler side while I sleep. I do fall asleep fast if I had a busy day. But lately since Covid, I do not have much going on so it takes a while for my busy mind to stop each night.
I truested all reviews and boughted weighted blanket. Sorry, but it is TERRIBLE. Its thin, hard and very heavy, I can barely move around, my back and neck are hurting in the morning. Its very uncomfortable. I dont understand why people use it
Darn. Sorry to hear that. I guess they aren't for everyone.
Get separate sheets and weighted blankets. For a king size bed, it means two sets for single size beds.
Thanks for the idea!
@@JMGENTERPRISES To me, it's a reality. During the night, my wife repeatedly fights with 'her set', becomes sheetless, then re-wraps herself, etc. while I wake up in the morning in the same position I fell asleep in. Since two beds was out of the question for both of us, we had to do something...Since then, bliss. So we look like two cocoons on a bed.
There are also great for anxiety
Yes I agree!
Can’t wait I got mine at bed bath and beyond 12 lbs for 40$ yay
Have you used it yet?
How was it
Why did he say its only $50, when his link shows its $139!!!
What link are you clicking? I just checked both links and it shows it for $59. Are you located in the USA like me?
His next affiliate review is going to be about the best alarm clock to wake him up and get his butt to work!
Hahaha. I work for myself. No alarm clock needed 😇
So, these are weighted, but they keep it thinner in width it looks like....
Maybe they should call this the Cool Womb Dream Blanket..
I like the name!! Hahaha
Weighted blankets give me bad dreams like to the point where I wake up screaming
😃✨👍🏼💅🏽
Really? Wow. Yeah, probably not the best for you then.
Oh damn
What about washing it? Seems like it could stress out a washing machine...
Yeah, I use a commercial washer at the laundry mat to wash it about every three months.
Will it keep you warm in the winter as well as cool in the summer?
I find the blanket a bit cold in the winter months. But I still use it on top of my comforter to add the weight. Summer time it is perfect and keeps me cool.
I have a heated blanket with two thick comforters on top. Yeah, I should get a weighted blanket
Heated blankets are amazing! I have a heated mattress topper. That combined with this weighted blanket = pure heaven for me. Let me know what you think of the weighted blanket if you end up getting one. :-)
@@JMGENTERPRISES omg! I never knew there was a such thing as a heated mattress topper-now that would be a lifesaver. I suffer from really bad anxiety n depression so I’m really thinking about getting one. If it makes me sleep faster, maybe I’ll be spared from some dark thoughts from the late night lol. Will be sure to let u know how it goes if I get one!
@@kiannacat9330 - Sorry to hear about your anxiety/depression. I have had bouts with both of those throughout my life as well. I know how it can get late at night. I am usually a night owl but find my thoughts increase late at night. So I am trying to get to bed around 11pm or midnight at the latest. I use my hot tub and drink Chamomile tea which both help me get to sleep fast. Cardiovascular exercise helps too!
@@JMGENTERPRISES I’m sorry about you’re struggles. Going to bed earlier seems to help me as well. I drink camomile tea every night as well! Something I learned at the psych ward lmao.
Try taking vitamin d3 with k2 10,000 iu capsules before bed
Take 2 before bed helps immensely
Watch dr bergs video on vit d for sleep
Helps my anxiety depression and cured my pms moods every day point pains back pains gone
Promise you’ll feel amazing try it!!! Better than any benzo I don’t even take my Valium anymore as I also have anxiety xx
How do you wash the weighted blanket?! 🤔 because I feel like it's going to break my washer & dryer... and there's no way I'm hand washing & hang drying, it'll break my clothesline real quick
Directions say on the blanket to machine wash and dry and this is what we do. I haven't had any trouble with my washer or dryer handling this blanket. I typically only wash the blanket by itself in the washer and dryer. For the amount of clothes we wash at a time, I would say it's at least 15lbs of clothing. So this blanket is not an issue.
My only con is it can be to warm sometimes I can’t use mine during the summer unfortunately.
Is yours filled with glass beads? My heighten blanket is actually very cool in terms of temp.
Damn, it works so well that it just goes into the negatives lmao
Haha. I didn't mean to have my review go that way initially. Lol
Just got mine today 👌
Let me know how it goes for you! We love ours!!
@@JMGENTERPRISES slept really good if it wasnt for my family waking me up XD
@@Gummy_Pop. Haha. Happy to hear it!
Cons: Work too well, and makes it difficult for your woman to steal it at night... Are you sponsored ? sounds like it :P but on the real, I maybe wake up 15-20 times a night, but never short of breath, so I don't think its apnea... Would that blanket help ?
Haha. No sponsored but I can see why you think that. Lol. I would give the weighted blanket a try. I use to wake up about 5-7 times a night before the weighted blanket but now wake up zero times. It really works for us. Let me know if you try it and how it goes for ya!
i just want one so i can feel like im being hugged because my partner lives 1000 miles away atm,,, je suis lonely **sad cries**,,, gonna get one
Give one a shot! I swear by weighted blankets. They are amazing!
@@JMGENTERPRISES I bought one! helped with my insomnia so so much... a little too much though. ty!@
So nobody is gonna talk about the orb that shows up on the left side of the video around the :15 mark?
Haha. Good catch. I didn't even notice that.
@@JMGENTERPRISES is your house haunted dawg? Or?
@@thetorvic23 possibly! Hahahahaha
Just followed the channel! Can't wait for all the spooky content coming! 😅👻
I just got one and it works super well!
Great to hear Richard! Enjoy!
No sweating or extra heat with it, at all?
so 20 lbs was not too heavy for your partner? I'm a 143 lbs, but I'm thinking about a 20 lbs one, which is more than the recommended 10% of your body weight, so I'm looking for some confirmation whether 20 lbs is still comfortable for females?
I would just buy on Amazon so if it's too heavy for your partner, you can return it. I love the 20lb weight for me. My girlfriend likes the 20lb weight too but it's just the blanket makes it really hard to get out of bed. I would think you are safe getting the 20lb one.
I just spent my first night with a weighted blanket. It was a great night sleep. I also had no need for porn or orgasms to achieve sleep because the blanket simulated that other person.
Great to hear it worked well for you too!
Thank you!
You bet!
I'm buying one
Almost everyone I talk to loves there weighted blanket. Hope you enjoy it. It's made an amazing difference for us.
Hi! Thank you for this video.
I need one but my husband doesn't and I think he wouldn't like it. Do you think is possible to get a single one and only put it on top of me or it will fall down because of the other person sleeping in the bed?
Sometimes my girlfriend does not want the weight blanket on here. On these nights, I fold the weighted blanket in over on itself in half and put it over just me. It works just great! Plus I like the added weight it produces when you have two layers of the weighted blanket. Sometimes we use the blanket on the couch and a lot of it is spilling over onto the floor. We never notice it falling down because of this. Remember Amazon has a great return policy if it does not work for you! Best of luck! If you get one, please let me know how it goes!
Just had my first night of sleep with mine, My only issue i've had so far is my blanket seems to trap in heat, I run hot also and man this thing is a bit to warm heh, Gonna give it a few weeks try. I might need one of a different material maybe or something
Did you get one with glass beads in it like mine? I run really hot too but this blanket keeps me cool. The blanket is actually so cold in the winter months that we place it on top of our other blankets.
All thé cons are pros for me
😊
Okay thanks for the review, its expensive but im gonna fcking buy this, i have been trouble sleeping for a year now and fuck yeah i want that uninterrupted 8 hrs of fucking sleep. Sorry for the language its just that i havent slept properly in a loooooong ass time, ill comeback here and tell my experience of it
I hope you like it! Please let me know. It's been a life saver for us.
As an Italian building contractor I opted for the bulletproof version, lol
(No really)
Hahaha. Comment of the day 🤣
I was wondering if you would recommend this for a person like me? I sleep alone and I'm a very small person, I don't weight much. I do have a lot of problems falling asleep and oh boy am I anxious. I do already have problems waking up though, so I'm not sure. Thank you kindly!
Hi there! I would recommend trying it for sure! They are not that expensive and everyone I know that has one, loves it! Amazon has a great return policy. Try the blanket out for a few weeks and if it does not work for you, return it! I am confident you will experience the positive benefits :-)
@@JMGENTERPRISES AWESOME! I really have been eyeing one but I wasn't quite sure, thank you very much, a good night sleep, here I come! (Hopefully)
I am 135 and a 12 lb is perfect.
Cool, I'll get one. I can sense your Gadget Jeff humor is ready to fly. Let it out!
Its hard to keep the jokes at bay.. lol 😆
I wanted to get one for my 4 year old autistic daughter. She kicks the covers off maybe because she tends to run warm especially during the summer when asleep but for her constant mood😢 i wanna give it a go.
She may just love a weighted blanket! My friend is a special needs teacher and lots of her students have down syndrome or autistic and works wonders for them
I really want one. I'll get a king size for my wife. 😊
Let me know how you like it. 😀
i would suggest two separate twin sized blankets this way if youre a big person and your spouse is a petite person you can get the best weight for you and her.
Great idea! We may have to give that a shot.
I watched to end waiting for the con of how to wash this beast. I imagine a wet 20lb blanket would be like a 50lb boulder tearing up your machines. But that wasn’t even addressed. Other than that, it was a good review.
The only con we have found is it makes it harder to get out of bed in the morning. When it is wet it is heavier but surprisingly doesn't feel that much heavier. My dryer seems to do just fine with it.
I've ALWAYS had vivid dreams. Have you ever had a dream where you're trying to shoot someone but you can't seem to pull the trigger hard enough? It's crazy!
I've had some vivid dreams too but never that one. Haha
@@JMGENTERPRISES it's weird. I pull and pull. I sometimes put my foot on a wall, to try and get some leverage, but it don't work. Maybe a weighted blanket will give me the strength.
@@JMGENTERPRISES it's weird. I pull and pull. I sometimes put my foot on a wall, to try and get some leverage, but it don't work. Maybe a weighted blanket will give me the strength.
Yeah perhaps! Lol. I've found my weighted blanket males my dream way more vivid and prolonged.
I don't get it. You sleep way better but you put it away after three months because you sleep too good?
We usually use it for one month on, one month off. It works amazingly well and putting us to sleep and keeping us asleep. But because of it's weight, it makes it incredibly hard to have the will to get out from under it in the morning when your so content. From others we have talked to, they say the same thing.
Just wondering how the heck would you wash such a thing?🤔
We use a duvet cover since day one. I heard they are hard to wash and take forever to dry.
I just have one question, is it easy to wash? How do you wash it?
NOOOO ITS A PAIN IN THE ASS! GET A DUVET COVER AND NEVER, I MEAN NEVER LET THE ACTUAL BLANKET GET DIRTY!!! IT TAKES FOREVER TO DRY AND EVEN IF YOU USE A DRYER IT TAKES FOREVER TO WRING OUT! 😤
Yes, we use a duvet cover. I heard they are really hard to wash and get dry.
I'm sewing my own 😉😉😉😉
How cool! Let me know how it turns out :-)
Heavy blanket is designed for only one person, if you are both in the bed, buy two heavy blanket.
Really? From what I read, one blanket is okay for two people. Each person is getting the same amount of weight on their bodies.
In one breath he says partner in the other breath and says girlfriend, I just say girlfriend
Yeah, I sometimes use both. But yes, girlfriend 😀
I am under a weighted blanket right now for the first time…. I hate it! 🤣
Have you tried sleeping with it to see if you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer etc?
@@JMGENTERPRISES it’s a lot better now thanks! It was a strange sensation initially, almost like I was being crushed. But now I cannot do without it and it is so warm. Thanks :)
anyone use weight blankets for comfort?? i work a pretty physical job and having that bit of weight on my aching body seems like it might help, almost like a light massage. had the thought after i was too lazy to put folded laundry away and the weight on the bed actually felt relaxing on my legs.
Oh comfort is one of the main reasons we bought the waited blanket! I to have slept with my laundry on the bed and know exactly what you mean! The weight does wonders for making you feel secure and safe. It puts us to sleep SO MUCH faster than a regular blanket. Give it a try and let me know!
I used to stay at my grand parents house as a child, she had a lot of duck feather / down quilts, that when piled up would weigh a lot. I used to set my bed up with as many as I could lift, then be out like a light under them.
I would absolutely LOVE to experience your CONS of this blanket.
Do you have a weighted blanket? If not, you should totally give it a try!
@@JMGENTERPRISES I ordered this same blanket after watching your video. It arrived 30 minutes ago, so far so good. Looking forward to better rest tonight. I have PTSD and struggle with sleeping.
@@michele18schmidt - Let me know how your first night with it goes! Zzzzzz
I grew up poor. Try sleeping under 5/6 heavy homemade quilts just to stay warm in a cold house and you’ll never want to be near anything called a weighted blanket😂😂
Sorry to hear that. Yeah a weighted blanket would not be what you want in a cold household.
Check the reviews before buying
Good idea! Not all weighted blankets are the same.
Truth I'm lazy as fk now
They are magical!
Can you move
Yes, it's got a nice weight to it but you can still move easily.
Get a lapel mic man.
I know! I have since upgraded to a new camera and mic :-)
Girlfriend in the thumbnail was misleading
Haha. She didn't want to be in the video.
yea nah, I'm just gonna sew my own.
Good for you!
Wet dreams? 😂😂
One can hope! Hahaha
Cons????? Haha
Lol
When u need notes u definetley dont believe a fkin word u are saying m8
What? Wrong. I made notes to organize my thoughts.
Okey. Next time drop the notes or hide them better. Makes the video feel more personal
Appreciate your opinion
Wow. Staying in bed until 1pm is not 'sleeping in'. That's either a hang-over or a minor coma. 😂 I'd see a doctor about that.
Hahaha. It kinda happens if you are a night owl and stay up till 4am like we do most nights. Lol
epic
😁
so dum^*
Sorry if it didn't help.
I've ALWAYS had vivid dreams. Have you ever had a dream where you're trying to shoot someone but you can't seem to pull the trigger hard enough? It's crazy!
Haven't had that type of dream. Sounds interesting. Happy to hear you have vivid dreams though! They are way more entertaining
