My husband is an Iraqi war vet and diagnosed with PTSD and an anxiety disorder.  He often has trouble falling asleep and sleeping through the night.  This blanket has been a game changer for him.  He falls asleep almost instantly and sleeps deeply through the night.  He describes it as feeling like being in a warm embrace through the night.  The blanket is super soft and so well made.  My only complaint is that an instruction manual was not inside of the packaging.  We were uncertain how to exactly secure the weighted portion inside of the cover.  I also did not find the instructions on the manufacturer's website.  Overall, this product is amazing and has been life changing for our family!
