I've heard that some aspies can sleep better with weighted blankets. I'm looking for a reliable website that offers inexpensive high quality weighted blankets for tall people (I'm 6 foot, 3 inches). Can any of you recommend anywhere? :?:

dreamcatcher does custom blankets, good for your size, but they're not cheap.

Here are links to a few sites I explored while searching for my own weighted blanket, including a youtube tutorial in case you decide to do it yourself (even if you're not a tailor, it's really pretty easy: my mom made my blanket for me (about 36X60 in. at 10 lbs) at approximately half the cost it would have been to buy one: $70)

I bought mine for a seller on etsy.com. If you search weighted blankets, several options will come up and you can look for the right size and print you want.
