Weighted blankets

So I recently took the plunge and got one of these, AND I AM IN LOVE WITH IT.
Does anyone else have one? What do you think?
For those who don't know, a weighted blanket is like a normal blanket but it's made using glass to make it heavier. They're commonly used as a way to calm anxiety, help with insomnia, or as a sensory thing for folks with autism. Or purely as a personal choice for comfort. I think you're meant to get one that's 10% of your body weight to avoid it being too heavy, so you just get a feeling of snugness.
They're pretty pricey and arguably a luxury, but definitely ended up being worth the investment for me. Keen to hear if you guys have any experience of these and if so, what you thought, liked/disliked, etc.
All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
The truth resists simplicity.

@Mike thanks for making this thread
@dancertori it's so cool your dog is trained to do that! does it help? im guessing it does if its the same as a weighted blanket, only better cause it's a furry friend lol
Glad you hear it helped you with your sleep! I hope it helps when you have had a bad day and can just wrap yourself up in it.
I can't imagine life without mine now. Honestly it's my favourite thing. I feel so relaxed when I wrap myself in it or lay in bed with it.
Really happy it helped!
You can wash them? Just have to do it on a delicate wash or go to a laundry place and have them do it because their machines are bigger and can manage the weight.
It should of come with instructions on how to wash it
Says do not wash
Use a duvet cover
