I typically do not write reviews but have done a few here and there for really good or poor products. Through the years, I've had off and on insomnia where I'm awake for hours during the night. A week ago it was happening again and my normal course of actions (exercising more, staying up later, etc.) were not working. I saw an ad about this blanket and decided to give it a shot. Got the king size which was really rolling the dice since my poor husband didn't know what it was going to be like. First night we both got under the thing and hated it - husband described it like going to the dentist when u get x-rays and they put that weighted protection over you. Then after we complained about it for a few minutes, we were both out cold for the entire night. Still wasn't sure about it and we got in bed the following night and once more hated the thing. And once more, we fell asleep all night. I really knew it was working when my daughter complained the next day about the thunderstorm that woke her up - and she is a very sound sleeper where it takes a lot to wake her up. I was like, what thunderstorm?? Amazing. The other huge positive is with my other comforter I was waking up hot and sweating. Thought for sure the heaviness of this would be an issue for me. Nope, I never seem to get really hot. So here's the thing - we both still hate it every night when we get in it - we are getting used to it, but just don't like how heavy it firs feels. By morning, I don't really notice the weight of it at all. Given the great sleep we are getting, we are still going to continue to use it. I do like that it comes with two duvet covers that are washable. I washed the lighter weight one and came out pretty good. It helps that when it arrives, one of the duvets is on it as you can see how it's tied inside. Yes, the ties are a pain, but I wouldn't do it any differently as it really helps keeping it in place in the duvet. I don't know how many countless times previous down comforters never stayed in place. This one has specific holes along the edges and one on each side where the ties in the inside of the duvet loop through it to tie in place. Then has a zipper at the bottom of it once everything is tied in place. It's a pain to move it around because it's so heavy. But what can I say? The thing really works and we are willing to trade in our dislike of the heaviness for the deep sleep we are getting. Well worth the money. If you are wondering if it would work for you, I suggest giving it a try for a few nights. It definitely has worked so far for me!
