If you're the kind of person who tosses and turns a lot before going to bed, this weighted blanket will change your life. It feels like being tucked in, or cuddling someone, except better because you don't need to deal with another person.
Weight is evenly distributed throughout the stitching of the blanket, making it feel as though you’re being hugged as you sleep. This blanket uses sand pellets for the weight distribution rather than fibre, so that you can use it all year round without feeling too hot.

Promising Review: "After downloading this app, I haven't used anything else to set my alarm. I originally got it because I wanted to know if I was a snorer (spoiler alert, I am) and I haven't looked back since. It not only gives you great info on what your quality of sleep was like, but it even gives you an indication of how many hours you slept based on your movement and sound. Since using it, I can honestly say my sleep has gotten astronomically better."
