Weighted vests or weighted lap blankets?

Post Reply New Topic

Krista, you've gotta get you some antique/vintage wool blankets from ebay girlfriend! I've got the most beautiful blanket collection in the whole world now, and it feels great to have so many to choose from 'bout 25 bucks each and about 10 dollars shipping

Sounds heavenly! I spent that much for the cheapest blanket I could find at WalMart. Though it was beautiful, chocolate brown velvet with MATCHING PILLOWCASES. Mmm, matching pillowcases.

I've officially hijacked this thread to discuss my love for blankets.

I do LOVE ebay, so my fiance (does not) thank you in advance for the money I'm about to spend

I used to sleep with the heaviest down comforters, even in the summer with no a/c on. My parents thought I was nuts.

Now I use a lap desk for my computer--you know, the ones with the cushion on the bottom and the flat top. I LOVE the way it feels! It spreads out the weight from the computer and warms up a little bit from body heat. What a great feeling it is to come home after work and lounge around with my legs out and the lap desk on them!

huh.. i never thought anything of it, either.. but i always liked weighted things on me, mostly my stomach.. it's very comforting. i use to lay down and set the laptop on my stomach.. my mom thought i was crazy and i'd cramp my neck and it was kinda hard to type.. lol.. but it was worth it. i use to have this really heavy doll.. suppose to be the weight of a real baby or whatever, that i would put on my stomach. i think i'd really like a weighted blanket or something.. i'll have to look into it more. thanks for bringing it up.

I always make my fiance lay on top of me. It's really comforting to feel constricted like that. I'm considering some kind of adult swaddling.

180 lbs of hot guy all over me is the best therapy ever.

The post about the cat reminds me that I love it when I'm kneeling on the floor to get or clean something, and my puppy lies down on the backs of my legs.

I have this really heavy skirt that I made for myself a few years ago...I absolutely love the weight of it.

I especially love getting x-rays at the dentist because of the lead apron. I tend to tell the dentist to just leave it on me while he is working and he is like "ugh ok" I become so calm and relaxed. He got a new one last year that's heavier than his old one and extremely soft.

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know.

this is one of those 'yes, me too!' threads. I always wondered why people liked down comforters when it's so nice to have a pile of heavy wool on.

wrt buckwheat pillows: some co-op type stores sell buckwheat hulls in bulk, and you can make your own buckwheat pillow for cheap - basically, just a sack made out of fine weave and/or doubled-up fabric. I made one for myself years ago, before I'd ever heard of AS.

I've had a weighted blanket for years. I can't recommend it highly enough.
If I'm having a meltdown or panic attack, I get under the weighted blanket and *instantly* feel relief.

Here's an important point: the weight is made by polyester pellets. The blanket has absolutely no effect on temperature as air passes through it. So it's comfy in summer. Also goes well in washing machine. Mine is too big for the washing machine so I put it on the floor, spray with Febreze, and vacuum. Turn it over, repeat. Twice a year.

I've been searching and I can't find where I bought it. "Dreamcatcher" rings a bell but that doesn't mean much.
