Weighted Idea Blanket Couple Cotton Reviews Summary

Weight and Distribution

Pros:

• "The beads are evenly distributed, so you’re able to fall asleep without having to adjust your blanket."
• "This blanket has smaller stitched squares that keep the weight evenly distributed."
• "The weight is perfect, use the chart to get the right one for you!"
• "Going to a larger blanket provides better weight distribution."
• "The 15 lbs weight is awesome and I can definitely see myself using it a ton in the future."
• "Seems to be well constructed as none of the 'non-toxic recycled glass beads' have escaped!"
• "The entire blanket is the right spot."

Cons:

• "However, some packets have more beans than others. This doesn't significantly affect the weight distribution, since the average weight of each portion of the blanket is pretty well the same. However, it does make some spots feel a little more rocky than others."
• "The sand started moving from the middle pockets to the outer pockets so there was almost no weight on your body."
• "It's not a blanket you move around a lot due to the weight and size."
• "It was too heavy on my whole body."
• "It weighs down on you - practically suffocating you."
• "It’s much TOO heavy. Sits on me like it’s lead. Flimsy."
• "The weight made that more difficult; it kept me pinned in place so to speak where I can't toss and turn easily."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "This product is exactly as described and for much less cost than more mainstream weighted blankets."
• "I love that the texture is smooth and doesn’t bother my sensory issues."
• "This blanket is awesome. Soft, comfortable, warm- but not too hot that you don't want to use it."
• "The fabric is very nice- a sort of brushed cotton that is very soft."
• "It's also nice and soft."
• "The material is quality and the stitching is as well."
• "It's wonderfully soft and very well made, as one would expect from Pendleton."

Cons:

• "Mine ripped the first week I got it, beads spilling everywhere, making a mess and making my bed uncomfortable."
• "I got this blanket to replace an old weighted blanket and this one came with the glass balls everywhere."
• "The blanket now leaks the beads every night."
• "The blanket ripped open as we were folding it back up."
• "The thread is messed up around the whole blanket and now even tiny fibers from the fabric itself are fraying."
• "The little squares do not seem to be very secure or with a quality stitch to separate them."
• "Hasn’t held up well and made with poor quality materials."

Size and Fit

Pros:

• "This one is perfect and fits a king size bed nicely."
• "It fit nicely across my queen sized bed."
• "It's longer than most other ones which helps keep me fully covered."
• "It fits my full size absolutely perfect so if my boyfriend and I both want to use it-I know we will be able to."
• "The size is perfect and fits our bed just right."
• "I ordered a king size blanket for my queen sized bed (they do run small for a bed cover). I have never slept better."
• "It's perfect weight, and my husband and I don't fight over the blanket."

Cons:

• "The 60x80 does NOT cover even the top of a queen mattress."
• "But the queen size doesn’t fit a queen mattress because the blanket doesn’t actually hang over any of the sides."
• "The queen size barely fits the top of the queen mattress, no side hang over."
• "It barely covers our king bed."
• "The blanket itself is smaller than I thought. It said queen, but it does not fit a queen."
• "It's a few inches narrower than a queen sized mattress."
• "For the price I’m paying I would think it would at least cover my feet (I’m 5 feet 5 in), but it stops above my ankles."

Temperature and Comfort

Pros:

• "This was a soft, and good quality blanket. It is cooler on one side but that didn’t last too long for me."
• "The material on this blanket keeps me cool and that was what I needed."
• "I have a couple weighted blankets and this is the best one for Summer. It’s not hot, and actually keeps you cool."
• "Now that it's in the 60s and my window is open, it's perfect!"
• "I've slept with this blanket in hot environments and it keeps cool somehow."
• "Love this blanket, it's not hot or should I say I don't get hot under it."
• "This blanket is oddly not hot at all, in fact when you first put it on it’s cool to the touch and doesn’t seem to generate any heat."

Cons:

• "This particular specimen is not really breathable."
• "It is completely uncomfortable and actually made my sleep worse."
• "The heat that builds up in a matter of minutes makes it impossible to stay underneath for very long."
• "It's a little warm- I'm not sure if that's the filing or the fabric of the outside, but when the weather was warmer I definitely felt overheated and back-sweaty using it."
• "The blanket does add warmth and traps body heat so you may find it too hot during summer months."
• "This one is NOT cooling. If this is a feature you want then do not order this one."
• "This one makes me very hot. It is certainly not cooling at all."
