I bought a cheap one off Amazon to see if it would help my insomnia. It seems to work, but this particular blanket triggers my allergies, perhaps it’s the polyester.
Anyway, I’m looking for a better one, ideally from a reputable brand, not one of the faceless alphabet-soup “brands” all selling the same product from the same factory in Shenzhen.
I have one of these and can highly recommend it. I chose the Bearaby because it didn’t have those little beads. I’ve heard if those bead pockets rupture while in the wash, they’ll destroy a washing machine.
That’s a big part of the reason we went with it. Even if it didn’t destroy the washing machine, you just know eventually it’s gonna break open somehow and then you’re gonna be stuck cleaning up those beads.
And the weight distribution on some of them just isn’t very good, more like having a pile of beanbags on you than an extra heavy blanket
