Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I’m a lifelong insomniac, my husband uses a CPAP & has restless legs. He was curious about these weighted blankets, so I initially bought two from another company (which was more expensive.) We pretty much liked it, but our cat hated them. She kept sniffing it and clawing it as though it was filled with something that smelled and felt offensive to her. Also, the competitors was lumpy. I returned the competitors and researched it. It turns out that weighted blankets are either filled with glass fill — finer, denser, and requires less fill for the same weight, effectively a sand type feeling beneath the material — or polly-pellets, which feel like little pebbles under the material. In addition, polly-pellet fill is often recycled. (I’m all for recycling, but my cat isn’t apparently.) I bought this blanket hoping our cat would approve; she approves. In addition to the better feeling glass-fill, the material covering the fill is made of bamboo resulting in a cooler, luxurious, super-soft texture. We ordered another one. Even if you don’t have a finicky cat, this is a much better looking and feeling blanket. The key deciding features are the glass fill and the bamboo material. (I’m not sure if YnM makes other versions, so verify if that’s what your after, too.) The only problem is that we’re really going to miss our blankets if we overnight somewhere else. Thank you to the designer and manufacturer of the YnM Cooling Weighted Blanket.
