HomeSmart King Size Weighted Blanket 20lbs, Soft, Thick, Heavy Blanket, Fits Standard and California King Beds, Black

I’ve had a weighted blanket before and it was small and light and lasted less than a month before all of the weight was at the edges and it was useless.THIS blanket is fantastic. I’ve intentionally “waited” todo this review to make sure that the blanket lasted before I gave a glowing review. And indeed this review is glowing. The ONLY negative (and it’s really not even on the scale) is that the color said red but this blanket is more a maroon or burgundy. Truthfully, I’m my case I had ordered some “eggplant” bamboo sheets which arrived and were burgundy or maroon as well so the blanket is an absolute, perfect match. Now to the blanket itself. It’s soft! Really. It’s almost like satin material. It’s still going strong with the weight still evenly distributed after two month is use.And now to address something that I read about in reviews that I read when I bought this blanket. Is it warm? Am I hot? Is it cool? This was really confusing to me because the fact is what’s warm for me may be cool to someone else and Vice verse. BUT, I think I’ve found a way to describe this. I run my thermostat at 74 degrees during waking hours and at bedtime it drops to 71 degrees automatically. (Caveman style right?) so one would think this would be cool. But under this blanket, I’m comfortable. I breathe cool, refreshing air which helps me sleep while my body is VERY comfortable under this amazing blanket - neither warm nor cool but COMFORTABLE and ready for sleep. The weight is PERFECT for a king-size bed - I got the 40-lb one. It relieves any anxiety and keeps me relaxed until I’m asleep. And that covers all the reasons why I bought this blanket. If you have others, you’re on your own. But if these cover your reasons, you won’t find a better blanket. Get this blanket and enjoy it. It’s that simple.

This item did not work for us for us problems.Weighted right, loops for duvet cover, stitching was good, weight stayed in place, proper size, fit well in King sized duvet cover.It did take a few days for customer service to respond but they Did and they were kind and helpful, citing a family emergency for the delay in response.

My husband likes tons of blankets to add weight to our bed and frankly, changing the bedding was a pain so that’s why I got this. I ordered the 50 pound king size blanket and looked like a complete idiot trying to get that box in the house. Sorry Amazon driver, whoever you were.I unpacked it and was pretty impressed with the workmanship - specifically looking for places the beads (or whatever the heavy things are) could leak out. After it was all the way unfolded, it was a perfect size for our extra deep mattress. The blanket hung over the sides enough that I knew it would stay put. Little did I know ain’t nothing going nowhere with that blanket! I do believe this would keep you in place in the middle of a tornado.Sooo, I got laughed at when I excitedly showed it to my husband and he good naturedly climbed under it and pronounced it nice, climbed out and that was the end of the big reveal.BUT. The next morning he said he slept amazing and in the weeks following has told everyone about it. He seriously loves it.What’s weird is with all that weight, you don’t get so hot you sweat. Is it magic?I have no idea how this thing will ever get cleaned because it’s so big and so heavy, but I’m sure spot cleaning and keeping it between layers should suffice.I feel like the price of this was extremely fair, and am thinking about getting a smaller one for the guest bed.

Fits well on king size bed, with enough over hang on the sides, and foot.

The media could not be loaded.  I was given this blanket as a gift from a friend and I cannot stress enough how thankful I am to have one! I've been wanting one for few years now because I have very bad anxiety when it comes to finally hitting the sack, but now with the blanket going to sleep has been surprisingly easy!As of writing this review, I've had the blanket for a little over two weeks now and I can easily say that it's improved my sleeping when compared to my old sleeping schedule. It's my first time ever owning a weighted blanket, so I'm not too sure how to judge it, but the weight of the blanket overall is personally really nice. It's not too heavy where it feels like your suffocating, but not too light where it feels like it's barely there. It's just right! The only thing I do have to say that slightly bothered me was the fact there was no weight on the corners and sides of the blanket. So sometimes when I moved around the edge and outside of the blanket felt sometimes light and it didn't feel like there was any sort of weight there, but since I don't really know what weighted blankets are normally like, I can't say that my tiny little pet peeve is too big or too small of an issue. Besides from that, I really adore this blanket and I can't find a place to complain about it!Now my actual personal experience with it; I have very bad anxiety when I finally hit my head on the pillow. I have a MAJOR fear over the dark and it's a main reason why I can't sleep at night. I tried noise machines, listening to music, night lights, and even burning oils to help me calm me down but it never works! I can't count all the nights how many times I laid in bed tossing and turning because of my anxiety keeping me up. When I got the blanket, I was a tad skeptical that it would help me with my fear of the dark, but as soon as I got under the blanket and hit my head on the pillow I fell RIGHT to sleep with no issue at all. I thought I was losing my mind when I woke up from an actual good night's sleep the next morning. After a week I even went back to my old blanket and I noticed such a HUGE difference when I did. If I can even notice the difference one night of not using it, I'm positive that it has helped me immensely the past two weeks of owning it!Overall, I think it's an amazing blanket despite my little complaint. It works just as it intended to be and it has helped a lot with my sleep schedule by a landslide! I highly recommend it to those who are wanting to try out a weighted blanket for their first time and/or needing it to improve their attempts at sleeping like myself! The shipping was fast and no hassle at all. Just be ready to carry in a heavy box when it arrives at your home! It was.... a fun time for my family to see me haggle in this very heavy box for twenty minutes just for them to find out it was my blanket haha!

Size & weight are just right to prevent blanket from shifting around as I sleep. It seems sturdy but it’s too early to comment on durability.

My wife and I go to sleep each night laughing, because this blanket is sooooo heavy. It will definitely sooth the restless sleeper, because... you literally can not move, and it's great. And it's so warm. Also you can use it for leverage to get up. It's heavy.

I absolutely love this blanket!! The size and weight are perfect for our queen size bed, and it really takes the place of a duvet. I have had sleep and insomnia issues, and the weight of this blanket just makes me feel so secure, allowing me to relax and fall asleep much more easily.I had looked around at different weighted blankets for awhile before purchasing this one. The price couldn't be beat, and the quality is amazing. So pleased with our purchase!!

Sadly our blanket tore after 5 months.This caused tiny granules to spill out…

I always fell asleep easily but if I wake during the night I found it hard going back to sleep. The blanket has allowed me to sleep through the night and if I do get up, going back to sleep is easy. Even my husband is not as restless since we got the blanket.

After doing much research I decided on this particular blanket because of it’s size is equal to a queen duvet cover. My duvet that I was replacing weighed in at 15lb, so I experimented by adding extra blankets to see what more weight would feel like, after I tried out various weights, I decided to go for the total weight of 26.4lb, but, my duvet cover (that I made myself out of mostly black denim with groomers added to the material) weighs 6.4lb, so with the blanket at 20lb, I get the awesome cozy total luxurious weight of 26.4lb. What’s unique about this particular blanket, is that due to its size, the weight is distributed over a larger surface area than other blankets that are the same weight but smaller measurements; so even though 26.4lb seems like a lot, it is spread out evenly making it feel not too heavy.The blanket did come with some ties to secure it to the duvet cover, but I added several more to help keep it secure in place during the night; however I have noticed when I wake that I don’t move as much when I was previously sleeping under a lighter weight, which helps making the bed in the morning easier.Another thing to keep in mind, is that the weight is thin as apposed to the puffy blankets I was experimenting with; so even though during my experiments the weight was the same, the weighted blanket does ‘hug’ my body shape more closely then the puffy experiments. But I do love love love the way that it does cover my body more closely.I also emailed the company before purchasing to ask about how the beads are distributed, and they replied that they are spread out evenly, mentioning that there is more in the centre part to help provide the weight where your body is; which I found to be true, but over all the beads are very evenly spread out making it very comfortable to sleep under.I would recommend this product, but also recommend to experiments with different weights that are also the same size of the blanket to get an accurate feeling of how the weight is spread out.

I purchased for a friend, she loves it and the quality of the blanket was great.
