I just placed an order for my very own, specially made weighted blanket!!! I decided on a 15lb, 40″ x 65″ blanket. I got to pick out my very own fabrics, one for the front and a matching one for the back. There were so many beautiful ones, it took me two days to decide. I use a weighted blanket to combat my Restless Leg Syndrome. But these blankets are used for many different reasons; autism, anxiety, sensory issues, and more. I came across this store on Facebook, Undercover, Weighted Blankets.
This lady, named Ann, has a son with sensory demands and after ordering a small weighted blanket from the Internet decided there had to be a way to make them better and cheaper because the small blanket helped her son and the cost for larger size he needed was absurd. She went to her mom and asked her how hard it would be to make these blankets? Eventually, her grandmother and another grandma joined forces and started sewing these blankets. Now two of their friends, also grandmas joined the group to sew these custom ordered blankets. To me, that would be worth twice the price, knowing a grandma had sewn me a blanket! (I miss my grandmas!) But, they sew these blankets for less and are of much better quality! The blanket sizes are user-friendly, and they are machine washable.
I am just so impressed with this little ‘hobby store’ as Ann, the owner calls it. I wanted to share this information with you. The best part is Ann lives about thirty miles away from me so I can go pick up my blanket and hopefully meet the grandmas! If you are considering a weighted blanket, please consider ordering from Undercover, Weighted Blankets.
These are only a few of the fabrics available for you to choose from! Bright and bold, soft and neutral, adult or child prints.Pick out yours today!
(I hope this information is helpful. I am not in anyway affiliated with Undercover, Weighted Blankets. I am just a firm believer in this product.)

Such wonderful designs, a talented lady. A lot of people find benefit with weighted blankets, I would like to invest in one if I can find a nice one in the UK (I do my own version of a blanket plus my dressing gown, which is pretty heavy but not as practical!) 🙂

A weighted dressing gown? You have to tell me more… or even do a blog! I honestly am super interested in more information about this, Caz!

I obviously made that sounds more exciting than it is. My dressing gown is just really big (I buy 4 sizes up) and thick and heavy. Neither my blanket or dressing gown are weighted, but together they’re pretty heavy and very comforting – hahah, I just realised how weird I sound writing this and reading it back! Oh dear, I think I need a lie down.. 🙂

I am so interested in a weighted blanket, at the moment I use a fleece blanket over my normal quilt and that makes me feel safer and cosier but I for sure think a weighted blanket is something I want to save up for

Beverly, I just cannot tell you the amount of success I’ve had with mine! I am sleeping again, my anxiety medication is rarely used. I don’t have money to throw around so, believe me I researched the heck outta this. When you are deciding, go to the site and watch the videos, learn if it’s the right choice for you! I had to save for my blanket too, and I just ordered a second! This just really was an amazing product for me. Please keep me informed! I’m excited to hear what you decide and, we’ll everything! 💜~Kim

I’m impressed, I have to say. Actually rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me let you know, you have hit the nail on the head. Your concept is excellent; the problem is one thing that not sufficient individuals are speaking intelligently about. I am very pleased that I stumbled throughout this in my seek for something regarding this.
