GBI love the blanket but hate the cover I loooove the blanket but I'm not into the Hemp/Linen Duvet cover. The blanket is super well built, but the duvet cover made of hemp is extremely weak fabric to stand up to that -- I would've hoped for a thicker, slightly stiffer material. Instead, even with the ties to keep the duvet cover in place, it puffs out and bunches up in uncomfortable ways, and the fabric itself is not very soft to the touch. Considering that weighted blankets are often used as therapeutic tools for people with sensory difficulties, the hemp cover is a fairly disagreeable material and counteracts some of the benefits of the blanket. I'm considering returning the cover, as much as I appreciate having a layer to protect the blanket itself. The thread count is so low on the hemp cover, though (I can see through holes in the weave), I wonder if it's even effective as a protective barrier. The Bamboo cover might be a better option, I haven't tried it, but for the price of the Hemp cover it seems like a very unnecessary up-sell.

GBExceptional quality... I love everything about this blanket except for the color options. I wish they carried a cover in dark gray or black. Otherwise, I literally slept for hours and hours comforted in this blanket. My body felt like it was decompressing from the week.

GBBack Sleeping Aid After decades of side sleeping I have to switch to back sleep to take pressure off my shoulders. The heavy blanket concept seemed appealing for the change. As a big guy the 15lb typical blankets just didn’t cut it. After 2 nights with the TruHugs Solo 30lb I finally got what I wanted. I can feel it chest to toe. I’m curious to see how it performs in summer but the bamboo cover seems cooling. If I may make one suggestion from a back sleeper’s perspective, the blanket could use a rectangular cut out so feet could stick up whilst still covered by the over cover. As is there’s either significant pressure on the toes or I have to stick them out the bottom.

GBbeautifully crafted, heavy product This is a very well made blanket. Sleeping under it brings a feeling of comfort. However, it is also a very heavy blanket. I suggest that you note that lifting and moving the 23lb and up blankets may be very difficult for older people. You might want to direct older and/or less fit customers to the 15lb option. I am 74 years old and fairly strong, but lifting and adjusting the 23lb blanket are very hard for me.
