I have a hard time sleeping, I tend to stay up longer than I should because I toss and turn. Adding this weighted blanket has helped tremendously. Like a hug in a blanket. The weight is good, my husband has no issue moving it around on the bed. It feels heavy to me even though I know its only 12 lbs but I am also not used to blankets feeling heavy. However, it has greatly improved by sleep. Sometimes I only put it halfway on but it helps me go to sleep and stay asleep. It is a little warm for summer so be sure to use it near the air conditioning. The material on one side is a little fuzzy and the other is smooth. Overall I am very happy with it. I sleep better than I have in a long while.
