I had read articles about the benefits of a weighted blanket.  Honestly, I was a bit skeptical.  Not sure I wanted something heavy on top of me.  Well, I decided to try this Tranquility weighted blanket and am so happy I did.  It is somehow reassuring with the extra weight on me.  It's not super heavy, but way more than enough to notice.  I've found myself getting much better sustained sleep and waking in a better frame of mind.  Now I regret waiting so long to try one.  Definitely pleased with this blanket.
