Tranquility Temperature Balancing Weighted Blanket with Washable Cover, 15 lbs

I am surprised that this weighted tranquility blanket isn't suggested for children, as I would think that is their primary market. But that is what it says on the packaging. Though I really don't have any issues sleeping, I've heard so much about these blankets, I was hoping that it would help me sleep better. I found it was more in the way, than a help to me. I see that I should have one about 7% my weight, but I'm not one to have someone sleep on me I guess. Maybe I need to use it more often, or I'm just not the targeted demograph. I will say that it's great up against the back, as a stop; like someone was in bed with you. I am going to suggest it to a friend of mine, that should do some more propped side sleeping for medical reasons. The tranquility blanket doesn't seem to get too hot even as summer moves along, just heavy (weighty). I, myself, just didn't find any comfort in it but the honey seemed to get some, sleeping with it. She wrapped up in it on the couch. The little dogs liked it, but only if someone was with them. I didn't notice any quelling of anxiety in them though. You don't think that 15 pounds is much, until it's laying on top of you while you're trying to sleep. You will notice it when you turn, & it slips off. It's not uncomfortable, you just notice that it has moved. The outer covering is velvety slick on both sides, & super nice to lay on. You could just wrap up in it, as it's that soft. It didn't have any manufactorer smell to it. Being that it isn't packaged, you may want to wash the shell first. Do keep in mind that it will be a bit of a struggle getting it back into place, around the inner bag. That's just how covers are. I suppose you could spray clean it, if that's something acceptible to you. I don't know about the longevity of this blanket; I would hate to get a rip in it as that would be a vacuum killing mess to clean up. The bottom line is that you should try this out to see how you like it, you may be surprised to find that this one fits the bill very well for you.

I would like to mention first of all i am a blanket freak! I love fuzzy blankets mostly. I've been hearing about these blankets for a while and been wanting to try them so super excited to get this. The feel of the blanket was so comfy i loved how fuzzy it was. I was afraid it would be too hot (since i do live in Arizona) but it wasn't hot at all. I loved the weight i made me feel secure and i was able to fall asleep very fast. I would definitely recommend. the only thing is i wish is was bigger to fit my whole Queen.

I selected a 12lb blanket to review but received the 15lb. Recommendations are that the weight should be around 7-10 percent of your body weight, and the size should be just big enough for one person to cocoon themselves in and not have extra hanging off the bed, because then you don't get all the weight on you. If you sleep with someone else, you should each have your own appropriate weight blanket. 48x72 is the size of a large throw. It is ample size for one adult. I'm 140lbs and feel that the 15lbs is a bit too heavy and would have preferred 12lbs. But my tiny friend slept under it one night when she stayed over, and she loved the weight, so it's personal preference too. I've been using it alone with a flat sheet on my bed because it's summer and I find it to be very warm. I have trouble falling asleep and this truly helps me fall asleep FAST. But I've been waking up early, which is not typical, so I think either the weight is too heavy for me, or I'm getting too hot under it in summer, or both. All materials are polyester and the heavy fill is fine glass beads that feel like sand through the blanket. The fill stays in place well because the blanket is quilted in 4in squares. You can't wash the blanket (spot clean only recommended), so it comes with an all gray duvet cover that is velour on one side and plain weave on the other, and finished beautifully with a hidden zipper- very nice detail! The cover machine washes and dries nicely. The blanket and cover tie together at the corners and middles, so they stay aligned well. This is from American Textile and made in China. Tranquility blanket is very high-quality and I highly recommend!

The description used for this blanket (tranquility), is extremely appropriate that's for sure. It's fifteen pounds of pure comfort and security! Its advertised as twelve pounds however, the packaging reads fifteen, which it definitely feels more like fifteen than twelve. My wife and I really enjoyed testing this out temporarily that is, because its still summer in our area of the world. Although we've have not washed it, this (Tranquility Weighted Blanket with Removable Cover, 12lb) appears to be well constructed using quality materials too. This blanket is only large enough to be used by one person, not two; so just keep that in mind when ordering. My wife folded the blanket in half, long ways, and draped it around my shoulders. I must say, it felt great! The weight of this blanket pushes down on your shoulders, and for me relieves that stress that most of us carry in that area of our body. We both love how relaxing it makes us feel, and there is no doubt it will keep us nice and toasty this winter and more than likely, its now going to be our go-to-blanket. Some highlights:  Relaxing and warm  Removable cover makes cleaning a breeze  Fifteen pounds of total serenity and comfort  Relieves tension in my shoulders when folded  Applies evenly distributed pressure throughout for that whole body coziness Walmart by the way, in my opinion, is much better than that other place that charges a membership fee, just to ship within 2 days (all the while their priming only revenue). Walmart ships within 2 days, and with no membership charges! I order online from Walmart all the time, so much nicer than standing in lines and loading-up carts.

This is great for a lot of conditions! My mom has restless legs syndrome and I had her try it while she was visiting. She said it really helped her a lot. I suffer from anxiety and I use it nightly to help me relax and sleep. It's very helpful! This would also be great for ADHD, ASD etc. It really helps relax and comfort you for a restful night's sleep. I like the removable cover. It is breathable so it doesn't cause you to overheat at night. You could also use this during the day for comforting pressure. It's the perfect size for one person. The pressure is like an embrace. It's very comforting and I highly recommend it to anyone with the aforementioned conditions. Very satisfied!

I am really writing two reviews here. First, let me say that the free sample I got was 15 lbs, not 12, so this is a review of the 15 lb. model. I did not like this product for my personal use. It made me feel confined, and the weight of it made my reflux act up. I threw it on the floor about 2:30 AM, and swore to write a bad review. BUT... I told my daughter-in-law about it and she jumped at it. She is a PA, and she told me all about its therapeutic benefits. She has wanted one for a long time, so I gave it to her. She loves it. It makes her feel safe and secure. (She is an army wife, and her my son is frequently gone for extended periods of time.) So there you have it. If you are a grumpy old man with claustrophobia and reflux, do not buy this. But if you are a regular person who could do with a comforting hug, get it.

I am happy to do my review on my Tranquility Weighted Blanket, I have gave it some time to be sure how I felt about it, I tried it different ways on my bed the first night I put it long way in my bed and I was not sure if I would like it but by the second I tried it across the middle of my bed and that worked for me, I must say that I loved my weighted blanket this is made with very good material it is nice and smooth I love the way it feels. I am sure that this is made to last I looked it over and checked it well and I am very pleased with this weighted blanket I know why they named it Tranquility it really is just as advertise.

I've never owned a weighted blanket before so I don't know how to compare to any others. I think this one is good quality. Looks great too. I really like how you can wash the cover to it. We have animals so things get hairy and we wash blankets often. You tie the cover back on so it distributes the weighted insert evenly. Tying and untying are kind of a pain but the process of why makes sense.

This article is something that is sorely needed in this household. I have hesitated in buying one so was glad to have been able to review it through Spark Review. Previously I have even looked at online directions for sewing one myself, but never attempted to do so. I, being older, often have a hard time falling asleep. Family concerns, etc mulling around in my mind. My daughter who is 40 has an anxiety disorder and she also has trouble sleeping, waking earlier than necessary., and nightmares, etc. My granddaughter who is a young lady herself has disabilities that interfere with normal scheduling, and sensitivity is an issue also. We have all tried piling on extra quilts for a weight pressure, but forget that in the summer, especially. What we knew all along was that we needed a weight blanket. Whoever invented this one is truly a blessing. So nice to get a good night's sleep and even wake up without the usual aches and pains. Works well for my daughter and granddaughter. We are in Florida and in the middle of a very hot summer, and the material this blanket is made from, somehow, is not making any of us overheated. The only problem is now we need 2 more. We have been alternating nights with this one. This works and I am so very glad to say I would definitely recommend this, even if you don't have any obvious sleeping problems.

This was my first purchase of a weighted blanket. Not sure if mine was defective, but this blanket was not quilted in anyway, the stuffing kept shifting all over the place, and it didnt even fit my whole body, im 5’6 178lbs. I returned it and found a quilted blanket on Amazon for the same price, quilted and actually fit me
