YnM Cotton Weighted Blanket, Handmade Chunky Knitted Design, Soft and Cozy, Temperature Regulating and Breathable, Machine Washable Throw for Sleep or Home Decor (Cream White, 60×80 Inch, 25lbs)

Wonderful for it’s purpose…sleeping!
I’ve been using a weighted blanket for a while, but it was getting to warm this summer. My wife had seen this and recommended it. It’s an interesting middle ground. While it is heavy, it doesn’t have the same solid weight that a typical weighted blanket has. Much more distributed.The big win here is that it breathes wonderfully while still keeping you warm and much heavier than any common summer “blanket” you might want to go to.The quirk to it is the weave. This is not a toss around blanket. As others have shown, it doesn’t take a lot of effort to pull the weave way out of shape. However, its easy enough to make things look normal again if you just smooth it out. Just don’t try to grab and pull anywhere. No shaking it out or spreading it like you might try throwing it like a comforter or sheet. If you need to lift it, just fold it over a few times until you can pick it up with your arms and wide palms. Yeah, that may sound silly, but it’s a very unique, and very nice blanket that should be taken care of with some basic sense.On a similar note, yes, the edges curl. Quite a bit actually. It will also stretch significantly if you let it hang over the edges. If you are buying this for it’s purpose (ya know, sleeping) then you’ll be fine. If you are buying it for looks or showing off to your friends, then you probably won’t be happy.One cautionary note though… I would strongly recommend keeping it away from children because it is the equivalent of a very thick string fishing net. It would be very easy for a child to get caught up in it. Same thing goes for sleepers that tend to thrash or twist up sheets / blankets when they sleep.

Soft, beautiful blanket
I ordered the cream velvet chunky knit blanket and it is just what I was looking for. It is large enough to fit my queen bed and the weave is soft and allows air through. The weight is just right (I got the 20 pound) and I love that it has no beads/fillers. It is also a beautiful blanket and texturally interesting. The “chemical smell” some people complain about is just the smell of the plastic shrink wrapping it comes packaged in and it goes away fairly quickly once opened. It is an expensive blanket but worth the cost considering the quality, beauty and functionality of this piece. It was also about $80 less than the Bearaby blanket I was originally looking at.. as well as much larger (I really wanted a 60×80). I am very happy with my purchase.

Excellent nap blanket!
After considering a Bearaby blanket, I decided to try this one instead. It is gorgeous. I actually prefer the weave to the Bearaby ones that I’ve seen.Though I bought the blanket for myself, my husband appropriated it immediately, so it looks like I’ll be purchasing more of them.

Totally not like the picture. Weaves were loose.
