**Melissa's Weighted Blankets 8lbs for Kids & Teens - Made in USA, Red Fleece & Flannel, Medium 62" x 42" - 10 Fabric & 27 Size/Weight Options - Perfect for Anxiety Relief, Sleep & Sensory Needs**

Loved the blanket perfect for my very energetic toddler for nap time or reading time! Very soft and reversible . Highly recommend and it’s made in USA let’s support our country people and quit buying junk made in China .The blanket is very soft and comfortable and my 16 month son likes it to wear it when we are reading and to bed most of the time. Then sometimes he doesnt and I think it seems heavy, to much, for him. He has sensory issues and if you are familiar with that then you know things can change with him from hour to hour. If it only worked once a month I would be happy with it but it seems to be working everyday to calm him down before naptime so i am very happy with it. And I’m hoping as he gets bigger he gets used to it and the weight isn’t an issue. Just don’t expect this to be a miracle cure for someone with sensory issues but if it works once in a while when nothing else is working its a win.I've only given this blanket to my wife about a week ago, but from day one she has loved this blanket. It seems to help her restless legs and gives her a good night's sleep. It appears to be made well. I took a chance on this item because there weren't many reviews, but I decided to go with this one as opposed to the others because it wasn't made in China and all the Chinese made ones seemed to share all the same problems based on user reviews. I'm glad so far that I chose this one and will update this review if we have any issues.I ordered the 17lb based on the formula. It was way too heavy for me. The listing says it may take a while to get used to the feeling, but I can't go without sleep. I worked with the seller and got the 8lb and it is much better. They have excellent service. The blanket is good quality and worth the money.This blanket was recommended by the therapist for our 2-year old autistic grandson, and it's perfect. He didn't sleep through the night before the blanket; now he does. We only have the blanket on him from his upper waist down; his arms are free. I'm glad I bought it.Very happy with this purchase! The blanket arrived much sooner than the given delivery date and arrived with washing and care instructions, which was a huge bonus.The blanket weight is evenly distributed (which has been an issue with my blankets from other companies) and has a comfy, cozy feel to it.My son LOVES it and is also very happy with the feel and design of his “truck” blanket.Bought this for my grandson and he just loves to snuggle with it!This is an amazing blanket. It is made with high quality material that doesn't pull or feel rough on dry skin. The blanket allows my son to finally sleep through the night after 5 years of sleepless nights!. Planning on purchasing larger sizes for when he grows.
