Why is this so damn difficult to find

Yes, theres mental illness navy blue.

TIL not everyone uses a duvet (also TIL that that thing's called a duvet). That's really surprising to me, so some people just use the blanket directly? What do you do when it gets dirty, they're really hard to wash?

It's better than buying a house in the late 1970s.

"Do you have a kitchen in a color other than harvest gold or green coral?"

Not mine but saw this online and thought it would be a good idea. I love the idea of a weighted blanket but get way too hot at night.

I wanted to get like, a weighted jacket, so I could take it off and throw it on the ground and have it make a thud, like I'm piccolo, or rock lee, right, and maybe get jacked at the same time, but apparently it costs like 200 bucks for one. So that sucks.

Edit: Also, none of them taper at the waist, which I feel like would be a good idea since that would more evenly distribute the weight on your hips instead of just on your shoulders.

I can take two of these carpets, staple them together and fill it with gravel. Would that work?

I ended up making my own, it was surprisingly easy and fun.

I just bought the fattest thickest yarn available at micheals and finger knit it into a giant blanket. With it being so thick it was easy to just work my way back and forth knitting it by pulling loops with my fingers.

I went overkill and used too many skeins and now it won't fit in my washing machine, so I can only wash it at the laundromat on the turbo size machines. Also when it's wet it takes my fiance and I combined to lift it.

But hot damn is it amazing, it's both heavy as hell but breathes really well so I don't get too hot under it. And it's large enough I can fold it in half for double weight/warmth if I wanna just cook myself like a lil bean burrito.

Highly recommend it, it's a fun beginner project.

My kid has one covered in dinosaurs. It was available up to 15lbs. We got the lil fella the 3 pounder and he loves it.

You usually put a duvet cover on them, so the actual color of the blanket doesn't matter.

The best sleep I've ever gotten in my life was during a long hospital stay (I'm fine now) where for a bit I was just cold all of the time and they put a "Bair Hugger warming blanket system" on me. It blew hot air down directly on me and had a thick normal blanket on top of it for insulation. Slept HARD, I was in (relative) heaven.

Tangentially, what up with all these putty ass lookin’ whips?

I just got a cover for mine. And then you can actually wash the thing. Not like you wanna put something that weighs 10lbs dry in the washer and dryer

Not sure if this is mostly meant to be a joke but the gravity blanket comes in a bunch of different colors including bright and light colors.

Is it bad that I like the grey color?

Aren’t most of these treated exactly like a quilt with a duvet cover? And… aren’t you supposed to layer these, as well? I have: unfitted sheet, weighted blanket, knitted blanket thing, small throw quilt as my layers. You don’t even see the weighted blanket.

I don't have anything to really add to the thread, but just wanted to say good luck with the move and whatnot

YES WHYYYYY are they all this color? They remind me of the anti-suicide blanket they gave me in jail.

You could put a duvet cover on it, in whatever color or pattern you like. And you can't really wash weighted blankets easily, anyway.

When my partner got a Bearaby one they giggled...

Actually years later they still giggle when they climb under it

I feel targeted...

The knitted ones come in different colors.

Protip: Buy a duvet which is basically a giant pillowcase for your blanket/comforter. These come in a stunning array of styles, qualities, and colors.

My old friend had a teal one. No idea where he got it.

I have one that's black on one side and gray on the other. Does that count?

Sure. Mine is only mental illness grey on one side.

...

The other side is emo black.

Vomit pink?

Would I be an evil capitalist if I hand-made weighted blankets in light blue, pink, and white?
