Cosy, helps anxiety, worth the cost. I like it a lot!
I'm absolutely delighted with my weighted blanket.
I umm-ed and ah-ed for a few months about buying one because they are expensive. If I liked it, that expense is fine but I was worried I might not like it and would have wasted that money. But someone I know who also struggles with anxiety absolutely raved about theirs and after researching different brands, I decided to go ahead and order from Mela.
The website was easy to use and place the order. Delivery took a bit longer than I expected but that's unsurprising when it's so popular, and it was worth the wait.
It arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. The instructions for getting the cover on were perfect.
The blanket itself is soft and lovely quality, and although it feels heavy if you pick it up in one go, when it is on you, it doesn't feel heavy. It is just a nice comforting weight.
When I'm feeling anxious, my chest gets tight and fluttery. Now, I place the blanket over myself and pull it up so it's over my chest and it soothes that discomfort, not completely but enough to make a difference. It's become part of my self-care toolkit.
I (and my husband) have noticed that if I use my Mela blanket rather than a regular blanket when watching TV on the sofa, it is a lot more likely I'll go to sleep. So if I'm not actually feeling anxious, sometimes I deliberately don't use it so I can see the end of whatever it is we are watching!
So I'm really pleased with it, consider it worth the cost, and would definitely recommend it.
