[AS.weighted blankets]

So... I can find weighted blankets, as well as instructions on how to make them, which is good. (yay!)

But I'm not even sure that what I'm actually looking for is possible. I can approximate weighted blankets in the winter by piling lots of blankets on myself. But, in summer, it's too warm and/or humid for that. So I'm trying to find something which would have weight but no to nearly no heat retention (the equivalant of a very thin sheet, or nothing at all). I'm not sure this is possible, though...

(instructions), and a couple of ebay stores which sell them. Also, some other stores with sensory stimulation stuff, just because lots of them are nifty. :)

I am amused to note that so far three people (including you) have suggested something along these lines. I had, in fact, considered it, but discarded as entirely too much work, and probably fairly expensive.

As you can buy it by the foot, it would be less work than you might think. And as it is stainless, it could be made part of a quilt and washed as needed. As for cost... it would run around 800-1000 depending on the size of the blanket.

Mmm. That's a _lot_ for a blanket, though...

Esp since you just gave a suggestion which seems promising, and much less expensive and work.

Yeah, well this sort of "sheet" would be more for the bragging rights... Although just think of the envious glances gamers would give you when you curled up in it. :)

The other suggestion would also be a lot more comfortable.

Bragging rights is insufficient. ;)

Comfort is important, though!
