[AS.weighted blankets]

[wispfox]

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. :)

Y'know, it seems like whenever I read your journal, I suddenly make more sense to myself.

Excellent! Glad to help. I like it when other people explain things to me, intentionally or not, so I understand.

I get by with a thin thermal blanket as a compromise between weight and overheating.

Hmm. This time of year, a sheet is often too much heat, and not heavy enough, so... *shrug*

Even with a fan on? That's what I resort to when it gets really hot. And sometimes I find that I can get by with the blanket weight on just my lower half.

Even with a fan on. Depending on the humidity (which is the problem, more than the heat ever is), even with the A/C on low.
