Slept with one on and I had to get up to pee like a zillion times. Took it off part way through the night and then didn't need to go again. What the fuck

    Start becoming a weighted blanket vendor next to the gravestone of ex-British prime minister, Margret Thatcher.

    Interestingly I noticed when I lost a bunch of weight I did not wake up as often as night to pee and so now I have to wonder if that was all because my fat was putting more pressure on my bladder.

    I thought weighted blankets were supposed to help with anxiety, all it did for me is make me more anxious because I can't move. Even though I like the weighted vest thing at the dentist

      The lead vest at the dentist would be a lot more comforting if they didn't put it on me and then stick a sharp thing in my mouth and then point a ceiling mounted x ray cannon at my brain and then leave the room to fire it

    I love them. I've got a 15lb one and my dog has an 8lb one. Helps a lot with his anxiety and keeps me from repositioning so much during the night.

    They feel like a small person was unhappy with me but then fell asleep halfway to choking me out

    I'm 100% certain I would sleep better with a weighted blanket. But I simply refuse to buy one because I know that after getting used to it I would never fall asleep without it again. Would basically make me unable to travel, camp, etc.
