I recently had heard about the weighted blanket and wanted to try it out. I love to be warm and like having tons of blankets on me while I sleep. It was touted as being a way to promote better sleep. Again this was something on my radar, as sleep can be a struggle for me.  It stated that it promotes more restful sleep by simulating the feeling of being hugged.

I believed that this type of blanket was something that I could use. Therapists have been recommending them for years to help with those that suffer from PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, insomnia, autism, etc. They were gaining in popularity because it was a non-medicated way of treating one of these conditions.

After doing tons of research, I decided on the  Rocabi weighted blanket.

First, I was drawn to the grey pattern of the blanket and its contemporary design. I thought it was a neutral enough color to be used in most of our bedrooms or on our couch. It looked like a nice blanket, a color that I was drawn to.

Second,  I saw that Rocabi’s feedback was extremely positive and Rocabi took the time to answer any questions that customers had about the blanket. They were thoughtfully explaining features and benefits of the blanket as well as answering every question that was being asked of them.

Lastly, it just looked so comfortable! The premium look of the blanket with the plush/minky feel was a big seller for me.

The blanket comes in various weights from 15lbs to 25lbs. With the Rocobi, it comes in a size of 60″x 80″ which is fine for one-person sleeping or for a couple of people to use as a blanket while watching TV.  Weighted blankets are meant to cover your body and not your bed. This is not supposed to be bedding or to replace your comforter, its purpose is to be on your body during sleep.

The best way to think about it is that when the blanket is not in use it should be folded and placed at the end of the bed. Or kept in your closet until bedtime, although with the weight of these blankets I would find that would be a chore each morning and evening.

The polyester cover it comes with is really nice, plush and will work fine for most people. The optional cover is 100% cotton and is more breathable, so it is the ideal cover to use during the Summer or in hotter climates.

The actual product box was just the right size and opened up fairly easily. Inside was the Rocabi weighted blanket encased within a branded carry bag which I thought was a nice touch. It kept the blanket nicely contained and was super simple to pull out of the box.

Upon first opening up the carrying case, I could see the blanket was nicely folded into the carrying bag and you could see the nice raised plush fabric – sort of looked like raised dots throughout and was super comfortable to touch and feel.

Once I was able to see the exterior of the blanket, I thought the pattern looked really nice up close. It had some geometric thing going on with triangles and such that actually looked pretty cool and was pleasant to the eye.

Right away you realize how heavy this is compared to a regular blanket. It’s actually a chore to move it around and may be difficult to lift for some people, although once you have it in your bedroom of choice chances are you aren’t moving it much. The weighted blanket inside the cover is actually very nice on its own as it sort of looks like a quilted blanket. It feels like a normal blanket as well.

It’s an excellent blanket and I am impressed with how comfortable it feels when sleeping with it. I can attest that it’s enjoyable to have on your body and did make sleep better for me.

The quality of the material and its soft plush feel is what I like most about the blanket. I do highly recommend this Rocabi model if you are looking at purchasing a weighted blanket.

In conclusion, I believe this product is a solid option for a weighted blanket and very happy with it.
