This blanket is the perfect size for taking a nap and the weight helps to put me right to sleep. For reference, this is my first experience with a weighted blanket and I am 5'6 average size person. I have thoroughly enjoyed taking afternoon naps with the comforting compression and also the warmth provided by this blanket. It is just heavy enough without me feeling trapped. I think the weight factor will be an individual preference, but I really enjoy this one. The grey color blends perfectly with my decor and it folds up nicely when not in use! I would definitely recommend this blanket.
