Yes, I am BU! I’m a 41 year old woman who is normally pretty sane (I think) but during this pandemic I think stress (work and the ‘Vid!) has sent my sleep haywire! The only thing that seems to help is my sons old pram cellular blanket, it’s the classic style (satin trim). It’s mad and I don’t know why, probably association? touch, possibly the weight of it! As it’s quite heavy and thick? Yet holey!
Anyhow it’s the size of a postage stamp! And I look ridiculous under it! Ok maybe not that small but I need a baby style cellular blanket that’s sort of heavy/ high quality. And adult sized!! I promised I Google’d it but everything’s shitty and thin and like a hospital blanket! I bought the white company one but it’s thin as hell and no weight to it!
Any ideas? I wondered about trying a weighted blanket? But all those seem like fleecy, acrylic/ polyester type ones and I need somethjbg 100% cotton? Is that even a thing? A 100% cotton weighted blanket?!
Anyhow help! Baby blankets for grown woman! It’s all I’ve asked for for Xmas as I just wanna sleeeeep! Blush

I know how going without sleep feels and it’s so difficult. Good luck to you, OP.

I know this isn’t cheap but it’s 100% cotton, a weighted blanket, and does seem a bit like a cellular blanket.

I have a bedspread in cotton I like the weight. American bedding from Macy's I have a Martha Stewart one. Macy's are easy to order from and they sort out any tax liability when you buy

Oh my! @5Yearsleft you may have nailed it! I love them all but that one might be the splurge! I may hedge my bets and send all links to DH and let him choose! I’ll be in blanket heaven let’s hope he gets them all! Thanks Mumsnet for pulling it out the bag again!
