Okay, so I've been using this BARMY weighted lap blanket for about a month now, and here's the tea ☕️
First off - the size is PERFECT. At 48"x24", it's like a cozy hug for my lap when I'm working or watching Netflix. Not too big, not too small - Goldilocks would approve.
The 6lb weight? Chef's kiss 👌 It's just enough pressure to feel comforting without being overwhelming. Though heads up - if you're petite like me (I'm 5'2"), you might want to test if 6lbs works for you first.
BIG shoutout to the removable cover! Why don't all weighted blankets have this?? The bamboo-derived fabric is so soft and breathable. Washed it twice already - no shrinkage or pilling.
Pro tip: The PVC storage bag it comes in? I now use it as a travel case. This blanket has been to my office, my therapist's couch, and even on a road trip. The microbeads stay perfectly distributed.
Only con? There was a slight plastic smell at first (gone after airing out for a day). And tying/untying the inner blanket can be fiddly when washing.
Final verdict? 9/10 ⭐️ It's become my emotional support blanket - helps with my anxiety and actually improved my sleep. Would definitely recommend trying it!
