You can get 100 sponges for $5 if you just buy melamine instead of the Mr. Clean brand. Melamine is a neat way to spell magic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK what causes this, but other people have the same feeling and that’s how my sister ended up getting advised about it. i didn’t realize people were trying to use a blanket to actually treat symptoms of something, thought people literally just bought them cause the weight made them sleep better. is that not the point? I've heard of people buying them to alleviate things such as sleep apnea. It's also was a big product in the autism community because the extra weight supposedly made autistic people feel comfortable (which isn't the case, there is no singular tool that works universally for all people on the spectrum). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a pretty clear cut route to better sleep IMO, buy more comfortable sleeping tools. From the study linked: Quote Seventy-three children were randomized and analysis conducted on 67 children who completed the study. Using objective measures, the weighted blanket, compared with the control blanket, did not increase TST [total sleep time] as measured by actigraphy and adjusted for baseline TST. There were no group differences in any other objective or subjective measure of sleep, including behavioral outcomes. On subjective preference measures, parents and children favored the weighted blanket. All the studies I’ve found all say basically the same thing. People are more comfortable with the weighted blanket. But being more comfortable doesn’t make for better sleep under these conditions. That said - it doesn’t hinder sleep patterns either. So if it’s comfortable to the person, it’s worth having. Comfort is good - even if it doesn’t actually increase sleep proficiency - and may even apply some form of placebo effect on the user.
