Weight yes. ._.
More weight pls ._.
It depends! Pressure can feel comforting to me depending on the context; I love when my cat is laying on me, or cuddling up with my partner. But when it comes to sleeping, I don’t really like pressure on me, just feels too restrictive.

You can link a regular poll if you prefer one of those.
Personally, I like the coziness, but not so much the heat/restrictiveness. So more the idea of the blanket than the actual blanket.
I do everything with my weighted blanket. It’s constantly on me.
I can’t sleep without my weighted blanket. Even in summer. We just compensate by having a large fan blowing directly onto the bed for me.
I feel like mine has been bothering my back lately, might be a change in activity level though. I do find the weight comforting and think it helps me sleep deeper.
I have a problem sleeping without something heavier on me. Which sucks in the summer. I’ve wished forever to be able to sleep with at the least a sheet, but it’s not enough.
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 and it was too much upkeep for me. It also didn’t noticeably help.
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.
Depends on my level of stress. For high stress levels I like weighted blankets, for moderate stress levels I imagine a dog could be great (I’m not allowed to keep one in my flat), for low stress level a standard double blanket is nice.
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 mean weighted vests do exist in real life but are usually aimed a kids, like so many autism things tend to. Actually just looked it up weighted vests seem to be sold for “training” as well.
Beware for real life application though. https://youtu.be/zOoY8kKRg4Q
Yes. We have a waited blanket. I love it, but it caused my partner joint pain. We compromise with the heaviest comforter we can find in the winter.
In the summer, I’ll sometimes stack a few pillows on myself (we have a bunch) to get some weight on me, while still allowing some airflow.
It’s actually much more comfortable for two people in one bed to have separate blankets. :) might be worth trying two twin blankets. Then your partner could have what they prefer and you could have weighted.
My wife and I started sleeping with separate blankets a while ago. I like to sleep with 2 heavy comforters even in the summer but my wife gets hot while she sleeps. A lot of the times we end up sharing a single blanket by morning but I don’t think I could fall asleep like that.
Also I just realized while typing this that I do like weight on my body!
I am continuously surprised that some people sleep under a single blanket. This is not a custom where I’m from. I wouldn’t be able to relax!
