Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had been keeping my eye on a Gravity Blanket for a couple of years and every time determined that it was too expensive. I did an exhaustive search of other blankets and tried to find a balance of quality and ability to fulfill my need, and landed here. I've been using this blanket about 10 days now. The blanket quality is fine. The mink cover is soft and seems durable. The ties on the inside of the blanket have slipped once or twice, but it's easy enough to fix (if a mild annoyance). Generally speaking, the blanket itself seems durable and well made. But after 3 nights, I noticed the beads were running to the sides of the blankets. After 5 days, they were accumulated almost exclusively in the corners or off towards my feet (raising knees in bed will cause them to trickle down). I have to beat the blanket out every night before bed and this is a 20lb blanket we're talking about. The beds do not stay, and I cannot achieve through brute force the ability to make an even weight as it arrived. When I read reviews, I thought "it can't be that bad, and this is a good price," when in fact, if I had realized what this would actually be like, I would have spent the extra money on a blanket that had stitched squares to keep the beads in place. This would be excellent for kids and lounging. I like it, but it definitely isn't doing what I had purchased it for.
