Thrift store fort blanket gamble changed my whole setup
Picked up a heavy velvet curtain panel at a Goodwill in Akron for $6 and it turned out to be the best anchor weight I've ever used. My old setup used two flat sheets and a comforter, but the velvet drapes over the couch edge without sliding off, even when I shift around. That one find let me drop the number of chairs I need from three to two, which opens up floor space for my reading pillow. The catch is velvet holds heat like crazy, so I only bust it out when temps drop below 50 now. Anyone else have a random secondhand fabric that outworks their real blankets for fort duty?

Ha, my buddy had the exact same thing happen with an old wool army blanket he grabbed at a flea market for like four bucks. That thing weighed a ton and grabbed the couch like it was glued there, so he quit using his regular blankets completely. Problem was it smelled like a wet dog every time it got warm, so his wife banned it from the living room. He still swears it was the best fort fabric he ever owned though. Sometimes the cheap junk beats the stuff you pay real money for.
