DOWNCOOL Original Weighted Blanket 100% Cotton Top - More Smaller Pockets Reversible Heavy Blankets with Glass Beads for Adult (Dark Grey,60x80Inch,16Lbs)

I bought this blanket for my 8 year old granddaughter who sometimes has problems sleeping. The weight and the size seemed just right. But after only two days of use, I found "sand" or sand like stuff everywhere on the bed. I really like the idea of weighted blanket and am really disappointed this did not work.I wonder if I should purchase a different one, a more expensive one but I am afraid the same thing might happen. Do not want to go through the trouble of returning item again. I am really surprised that other buyers of this particular brand did not have the same issue.

I have been in touch with CoolDown, the manufacturer. They are very conscientious about standing my their product. It is well made but Texas is very hot in the long summer. It will be 100 or more every day this week. Our AC bills are higher than our heating bills. I will try the CoolDown blanket in the winter when l'd like more warmth.I read 100's of reviews before l purchased this blanket & it was consistently the highest rated.Too Hot for me to sleep with. Might be ok in winter ...with the heat off.In all fairness it is well made & no odor.Tried turning on the ceiling fan & made AC cooler - did not help. Pulled it off in the night. Turned it to poly side then tried cotton side. I do not see a solution since it is the weight that makes it hot. Feels great at first then natural body heat makes it uncomfortable. Yes, tried moving a foot outside the blanket. Have no opinion about the benefits since it is too hot to allow sleep.

This blanket had been fabulous for me. I have had anxiety my whole life and as ten would pile about 10 blankets on top me. I wish I had this blanket back then. Its super soft and comfortable. It is well made and should last for years to come. Highly recommend for others with anxiety.

I used to get great products from Amazon, but lately, not so good - including this one. Spent over $50 for something that started leaking little beads the first night I used it. At first I thought it was 'crumbs' in my bed...swept the sheets off, and then...more little beads. Some of pockets have beads clumping together ... and some don't so I don't know what to think. Except, maybe I need to stop buying on Amazon. Note: this isn't the first recent product failure.

I’ve been sleeping like a baby for a week :D I don’t have a problem falling asleep but I’m a light sleeper so I tend to wake up throughout the night so it makes me feel a little restless in the morning. With the weighted blanket I wake up a lot less, it feels very comforting. It’s not enough to keep you warm on a really cold night so I still use my blanket with the weighted blanket on top.

This was the perfect size. I didn’t want it for the entire bed. Just to cover me.

Good quality blanket, no problems with leaking, pilling or fraying so far. Passed out face down and woke up in a puddle of my own drool, the sleep was so good. One side is fuzzy, the other isn't, so it works well to not make me over heat while I sleep. Even my finicky cat who doesn't like being touched, took a nap with me for an hour underneath the blanket.

I'm about 125lbs. and to me, this blanket and weight does the trick. I can't really use it all night during warmer months because it does make me too hot. Weighted blankets really do the trick to get me asleep fast and keep me asleep, if you haven't tried one, give this one a whirl. The material is quality and I haven't had any issues with it.
