Review on ZonLi Cool Weighted Blanket For Adults - 60''X80'', 20Lbs - High Breathability And Soft Material With Premium Glass Beads - White by David Gill

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Wonderful. Still, after 9-months

I think most adults probably have an adjustment period compared to most kids. I am officially a big weighted blanket fan!This is my first weighted blanket and have had it 9-months at this time. I bought a 20lb weight and it's been wonderdful. I just wish I would have gotten a heavier one. The weight distribution has been good and the blanket has held up just like new even with daily use. It's not specially soft nor is it rough or bothersome texture wise, at least for me. And, it has gotten softer and more comfortable with regular use.For the price this is a great first weighted blanket to try to see how you like it.At first, probably for the first few months, especially the first month, I did get hot and had to stick a leg out or turn down the room temperature.I have also adjusted to and gotten use to the weight and it's a relief to get under instead of a distraction or weird new sensation.Actually, I take back wishing I had initially gotten a heavier blanket; I think getting use to the new experience/sensation and having time for my brain and body to acclimate over the past several months was needed, before deciding I wanted to go heavier.I bought a queen size blanket, for only myself, and have a king size bed-- I'm 5'9" and over 200lbs, and the size is perfect for sleeping.It's important to realize a 20lb throw size will feel heavier than a twin/queen/king size blanket. I loved the weight of a friend's 20lb throw I tried before taking the plunge to buy a weighted blanket for myself. I was initially disappointed the weight on me felt less, but ended up being a good thing to get use to the experience.Lastly, my bedding, as an adult, has always consisted of a bottom sheet(no top sheet), a blanket (layed flat and not tucked in), and a comforter. I currently have a lighter comforter on my bed, and only on cooler nights do I actually pull the comforter over me. I cannot sleep if I'm hot, and my usual nighttime room temp is 68-degrees celsius.Folks may/probably will need to experiment with your bedding, room temp, and/or pj's overtime as you acclimate to the additional weight. I no longer overheat and feel comfortable all night. "Thumbs-up" on this specific 60x80 20lb blanket, especially for the price, especially as for first-time weighted blanket.

Pros
  • It's everything they said it was...and comfortable and cool
Cons
  • Weighted beads may create noise if moved around
