Degrees of Comfort Weighted Blanket

The blanket arrived promptly. It was in a plastic zippered bag. The zipper was broken as was the box in several spots. It was a large enough box but absent anything to hold the bag/ blanket in place, the box suffered damage and the bag zipper was broken. I expected better quality/care in packaging. The blanket came with one duvet cover with the blanket tied inside I like that as I didn't have to put the blanket in the cover. There was no second, "cool" duvet cover included though I believe that was part of the deal. The 80x87 blanket hung over the foot of my bed the first night and it kept sliding off the bed during the night. The second night I rotated the blanket so it would hang off the sides of the bed but it slid here and there anyway. The weighting moved within the cover as I might have expected. I slept on it for 3 nights and didn't sleep any better than normal. I still had insomnia and fitful sleep. It's not that the blanket was uncomfortable. The winter, fleece cover was soft and I was plenty warm. I don't think I did not sleep better because this is a bad blanket, but I'm not sure it's the best blanket. This being my first experience with weighted blankets, pros/cons, shoulds/should nots, etc., here's what I know. There are a ton of opinions out there on how large and how heavy a blanket, how many ties the cover should have, whether you should use a cover, whether you can/should wash the blanket, etc., etc. I'll continue to look at different blankets and consider various weights and fabrics. Originally after unpacking, I went to the mfg website to ask about the second cover and found no way to chat or email my question though I was able to leave a voicemail. As of today when I left the blanket at UPS I've not heard anything from them. The quality of their website and apparent lack of customer service options, especially after the sale, are especially telling. Caveat Emptor!
