Tried napping with a $90 weighted blanket then my roommate's 15 pound one from Tuesday Morning
The cheap one felt exactly the same and I actually slept 45 minutes instead of tossing around. Why do we pay so much for the fancy ones when the heavy cheap blanket does the same thing?
Fifteen pounds from Tuesday Morning is doing the same work as the $90 one for you, but that does not mean they are built the same. The pricey ones usually use glass beads and tighter stitching so the weight stays put instead of sliding to one corner, and the fabric holds up past a year of washing. You got lucky with a cheap one that fits how you sleep, but plenty of people buy the $30 version and end up with a lumpy sack of beads in two months.
