[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. :)

Could you make a weighted sheet?

I... don't know!

Maybe. I shall contemplate. That would be good, if possible. (I'm not sure a sheet is strong enough, for example)

Oooo, how about a sheet-sized piece of chainmail? Probably used over a sheet so it's not too cold :)

Though I'm guessing this would not be cheap, the idea delights me.

*giggling* Alright, is _everyone_ going to come up with this idea? ;)

(admittedly, I had already contemplated this idea, and given it up as _way_ too much work. ;)
