It depends. I have a weighted blanket that I really like, but it comes with some drawbacks. Since it’s so heavy, repositioning it is extra effort that wakes me up. It’s also a pain to change the sheets on the bed. Still, I think the benefit of being under the outweigh the drawbacks.

However, I definitely do not like feeling restricted. So, if the pressure is restricting, like someone death hugging me and not letting me move, I’m not going to like that at all. I need to have the option to get out of it immediately, even if I don’t need to get out of it immediately.

I like having extra blankets on the bed, but I can’t stand weighted blankets. I tried my friends weighted blanket and I was like, get my out of this thing! It was too heavy, felt like I was being smothered.

I tried a weighted blanket once and never stopped. I had to travel for work and told myself it was silly to bring it, but then had a hard time sleeping without it. I added makeshift weight to my bedding - all the hotel towels, extra blanket, fake couch rug thing, and vowed I’d just travel with heavy luggage from now on.

I’m writing this from under a weighted blanked and I like it here :3

(It is a bit weird when you want to turn around in your sleep, but it calms me down a lot and helps me to have deeper sleep)

I tried a weighted blanket and it was too much upkeep for me. It also didn’t noticeably help.
