I definitely sleep warm and I hate throwing off the covers and then feeling sort of exposed with just a thin sheet, even though the temp feels better. </p> <p>I’ve looked at Luxome and Bearaby now, since so far it seems like those get the best ratings for staying cool. I’m thinking I’d start with the Tree Napper if I go with Bearaby, in the 15 lb weight. I’d just use it on my half of the bed since my husband and I have different sleep thermostats! I’m wondering if that will be big enough, but I don’t want too large and unwieldy. Any further advice? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-the-velvet-bearaby#post-2247297 Mon, 10 Jan 2022 13:54:52 +0000 gryffin 2247297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet - they do make a throw that's cooler.&nbsp; I usually put a heavy fleece dog throw over my weighted blankets to keep them clean and prevent damage.&nbsp; But I like to sleep warm and very heavy!&nbsp; My throw is out for delivery, I'll update when it arrives. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-the-velvet-bearaby#post-2247190 Sun, 09 Jan 2022 13:10:27 +0000 Janet 2247190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’d like to try a weighted blanket, but I worry about dog claws (Sunny is a cuddler and has brutal big claws) on that weave. I haven’t looked into other brands.</p> <p>I also have to have it cool to sleep. If I get too warm, I start throwing off the blankets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-the-velvet-bearaby#post-2247153 Sun, 09 Jan 2022 01:37:12 +0000 gryffin 2247153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow that’s awesome about your sleep score. I do wear my Fitbit to bed. I’ve been trying to focus on more and better quality sleep. I still don’t get sleeping cool. If I’m not warm, esp my feet, I can’t sleep. That weighted blanket will be on top of comforters. I’d like the bigger blanket too but I’ll try this first. What weight did you get? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-the-velvet-bearaby#post-2247051 Sat, 08 Jan 2022 13:10:18 +0000 Staysfit 2247051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will likely get the larger size at some point also…..my Fit Bit data shows improvement in my sleep score average since I started using the weighted blanket….. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-the-velvet-bearaby#post-2246801 Thu, 06 Jan 2022 16:26:07 +0000 gryffin 2246801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was looking at the queen/king version staysfit, spendy, so I'm trying the napper first.&nbsp; I have two other weighted blankets which I am using!!&nbsp; I like it heavy...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-the-velvet-bearaby#post-2246776 Thu, 06 Jan 2022 12:25:10 +0000 Staysfit 2246776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I received the cotton mapper 20lbs as a holiday gift. &nbsp;I really like it although if I could redo I might buy the queen size instead. &nbsp;If it spills over the foot of my bed it often pulls the rest of the way down due to its weight and narrowness. &nbsp;I haven’t tried to wash mine yet. &nbsp;The packaging was eco friendly…a nice reusable sack and cloth ties. &nbsp;The blanket seems to keep me just warm enough and no more overheating at night! &nbsp;I’m super happy about that, plus it’s very cozy…..</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-the-velvet-bearaby#post-2246721 Thu, 06 Jan 2022 00:14:00 +0000 Nomad 2246721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have the velvet (though I was admiring it; they're beautiful! The colors! The sheen!), but I received the cotton Bearaby (15 lbs) as a Christmas present and I love it. The velvet looks more glam, but requires dry cleaning; the cotton and tree napper can be machine washed. Looking forward to your report! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-the-velvet-bearaby#post-2246711 Wed, 05 Jan 2022 21:13:22 +0000 gryffin 2246711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all-<br />I know we had a conversation and people were interested in the bearaby weighted throw.&nbsp; I had no idea but there is an eco friendly velvet throw (made entirely out of plastic bottles).&nbsp; It seems this throw is only produced once a year and the colors are unique to that year.&nbsp; It also seems it sells out relatively quickly.&nbsp; I ordered the velvet sapphire throw but it has not arrived yet.&nbsp; But it anyone wants a velvet throw they are limited edition.&nbsp; Thought I'd mention and will report back after it arrives.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://bearaby.com/products/velvet-napper">https://bearaby.com/products/velvet-napper</a><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/bearaby-velvet-napper-review-37012945">https://www.apartmenttherapy.c.....w-37012945</a> </p> </p> <p>Review:&nbsp; So my Bearaby velvet sapphire 15 lb throw arrived last night.&nbsp; I was concerned the color would be too green, bordering on a real teal but it's sapphire but on the warmer end.&nbsp; My first impression is it's small.&nbsp; The 20 &amp; 25 lb, which would have given 4" or 8" more width (the weight is in the fabric) were out of stock and from what I read they will not be restocked until next year. I would not recommend this size for lounging and would definitely pick the heavier/bigger throws.&nbsp; The hand is plush but not exactly velvety.&nbsp; It's very pleasant and soft but not as splushy as I expected from reviews.&nbsp; As you can see the material is braided which makes it quite cool.&nbsp; I do prefer warmth, so if you run hot, this is the throw for your or the cotton or tencel if you want even cooler.&nbsp; It would probably be better in the bigger size and more collapse to the fabric.&nbsp; Also the edges curl making it even a bit smaller.&nbsp; For my purposes being layered sandwiched between many layers of blankets and throws it's nice. Weight is great.&nbsp; Very comfortable.&nbsp; But if I was looking for a stand alone throw to wrap up with I'd choose biggest size or the queen/king size because there is just not enough of it if you like to really wrap up.&nbsp; Because it's so heavy you really need more width because it's less malleable.&nbsp; It's nice but watch the sizing and really think about how you would use it before making a selection.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
