[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. :)

Mmm...

That rather requires a waterbed, which is both expensive and not something I'd want to buy, knowing that I'm intending to change coasts within the next few years. But interesting thought!

Another problem is that I strongly dislike having part of myself hot and part cold, and that _would_ have that effect.

Way back when, waterbeds were cheaper than a mattress, box spring, etc of equal size. I got mine hand-me-down, though, so price didn't really enter in to it.

I would simply roll over whenever my top side got too hot, and my bottom side too cold. The parts of me that weren't in proximity to the mattress (mostly my head) were the only parts that got excessively hot. Unfortunatly, I'd never learned how to sleep without a pillow.
