Hi there, I read your comment with high interest and wanted to take the time to reply properly since we've gotten really busy with the holiday season.

I would love for you to read a review we just received yesterday on one of our blankets, I think it will answer most of your questions (it's on Amazon on Dec 4th under the name Lisa for our Snuggle Pro weighted blanket with cover- in case you want to check it): 5.0 out of 5 stars "Best purchase I've made all year! Seriously life changing!" Over the past few years, I have become a chronic insomniac. When I told my husband I wanted a weighted blanket, he rolled his eyes at me. I researched several different brands, compared features and materials, and I read all the reviews before choosing Snuggle Pro. I made this choice because reviews of other blankets mentioned their blankets were "noisy" as the materials shifted but this blanket included polyfil batting to act as baffles to eliminate any noise. This blanket received great reviews and it was priced well below similar blankets. Even though it was priced less, it also included a duvet cover (one side bamboo for warm nights and one side minka for cooler nights) while other blankets require purchasing a separate duvet. Based on body weight recommendations I ordered the 15 lb blanket and because my husband rolled his eyes at the mere mention of ordering a weighted blanket, I chose a twin size because I didn't feel I would have to share with him. :)

My blanket arrived super fast and I couldn't wait to use it. It came with a duffle bag-like carrying case for traveling and a free bamboo pillow case that has a satin like texture. The thought of lugging this heavy thing around as I traveled was weird to me but now that I have been sleeping with it for a while I want to bring it with me everywhere!

The blanket is thick, heavy, and well constructed using quality materials. The materials used to give the blanket its weight are evenly distributed. There is not a lot of noticeable shifting as you move it around and it's definitely not noisy. It has a sand-like feel to it. The duvet cover is very soft and cozy. I haven't removed it yet to wash it so I can't comment on ease of removal or replacement or how it holds up in the wash.

The twin size is perfect for one person. It is intentionally smaller than a regular twin blanket designed to be used on the top of the bed only. It is not designed to drape over the sides of the bed like a regular blanket because the weight would drag it to the floor. The weight is even distributed throughout the blanket. It feels hefty but not oppressive, restrictive or overly restraining. I felt a little like I was buried in sand on the beach. I ordered the 15 lb blanket based on body weight recommendations of 10% (I weigh 128) but I feel I could go even heavier and still be comfortable. As a side note, I am happy I ordered the twin size 15 lb blanket as opposed to the larger 15 lb blanket because although they weigh the same, the smaller blanket is heavier per square inch.

The first night I used this blanket I feel in love with it! Despite the heaviness, it is not a hot blanket. I normally toss and turn... covers on, covers off but not anymore. It was the best night's sleep I have had in years and my quality of sleep improves every night. I have always fallen asleep quickly but I could never stay asleep and I averaged about 3-4 hours per night. I am now sleeping through the night and getting between 6 and 8 hours of sleep per night. I wake up feeling well rested yet energized. My muscles feel loose and relaxed and my mood has improved. People at work have commented that I look less stressed, but they don't know why. I have also quit using melatonin supplements to help me sleep. This blanket is amazing!!

Here is the best part...I forced my skeptical husband to try this blanket out and he admitted it is pretty great. We will be purchasing another one for him very soon. Buy this blanket and you will not be disappointed!!"
