    It would’ve be a lot easier and cheaper to buy a weighted blanket. They’re made of glass beads so never smell like metal

      This is not the first time I’ve heard about weighted blankets. What do they serve for? Is it because some people prefer to be under a weight while sleeping, or is there some medical benefit?

      Asking as someone who can only stand the lightest of covers.

      Is it noisy like putting away dishes when you turn over?

        No, there’s not much space to shuffle inside, because it’s sewn to form small pockets of beads. As far as I remember, the amount of sound is about the same as from walking on sand: not much

          Yup, most sound coming from mine is from the blanket fabric and the duvet cover touching each other and not from the beads

        Nope, it’s all on knitted strings and fabric separators. You just feel the weight around you snuggling you
