The Best Weighted Blankets (for Lucid Dreaming About Keanu Reeves)

Last night, we dreamt that the fluffiest baby cloud blanketed our toes, and a wave of calm washed over our gummy-bear brain until our anxiety disappeared (or was at least the size of the dust at the bottom of the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos bag). Unfortunately, we don’t have enough DMT to make that everyone’s reality, but we do have the next best thing : weighted blankets. 

The best weighted blankets feel like cuddling up in a sigh of relief. They’re throws and comforter-sized blankets filled with beads that can be made of clay, glass, or plastic to give your body gentle pressure stimulation as you drift off—kind of like that deep, soothing feeling you experience just before you zonk out—and have been shown in some studies to reduce anxiety by giving you a deeper sleep. Wondering what weight to get for your blanket? Experts recommend going with 10 percent of your body weight—so if you weigh 150 pounds, go with a 15-pound blanket, and so on. 

Whether you’re just dipping your toes into this fluffy haven, or seeking a jumbo weighted blanket to fit all seven of your Cuffing Season buddies, we’ve got you covered. There are dreamy weighted blankets for under $200, under $100, and even under $50; there are weighted blankets that look like they were knitted with love by your granny; and there are weighted blankets that absolutely belong in the house from VH1’s Rock of Love with Bret Michaels. Whatever your needs may be this winter, here are the best weighted blankets to keep you cozy and relaxed.

The overall best weighted blankets

Our holy trifecta of the overall best weighted blankets begins with Bearaby, whose organic cotton weighted blanket has become a main player in the weighted blanket competition with over 1,900 reviews that praise its softness and breathability, with many saying it doesn’t overheat them while sleeping.

Sunday Citizen is the GOAT of weighted blankets, and their plush microfiber blanket is filled with not only glass beads but thousands of pieces of clear quartz, rose quartz and amethyst. [Gwyneth has entered the chat.] Regardless of whether or not you believe in the power of gemstones, this machine-washable blanket rocks so hard because it looks smooth and slinky, unlike a lot of other weighted blankets that tend to look a bit stiff, and would make a great gift for V-Day.

Snug Crystal Weighted Blanket

Brooklinen rounds out our top three best weighted blankets thanks to the fact that it absolutely body slams you with tranquility. “MAN! This weighted throw blanket is VERY HEAVY! It’s VERY HEAVY and solidly made!” Typically, the heavier the weighted blanket the steeper the price tag, but Brooklinen manages to make their cotton and glass bead blanky very affordable for the power it packs.

Super Soft 12 Pound Animal Print Faux Fur Weighted Blanket

The best weighted blankets for under $100

We love a loose-knit, chonky boi weighted blanket. It looks especially good on our bed, our couch, and wrapped around us when we sit in a bunch of weird positions at our desk. “I can honestly say this is the softest blanket I own,” writes one reviewer, “(My cat thinks that I bought this for him. LOL. I have to fight him for it).”  

INSHERE

Chunky Knit Weighted Throw Blanket

This weighted blanket has been crowned the #1 Best-Seller on Amazon, with a 4.5-star rating from over 40,000 reviews. In the words of one fan with the username BunnyGirl, “The heaviness of the blanket mimics a hug and hugs actually release oxytocin into your body creating a bonding or happy effect kind of like serotonin does. I love hugs and I love to be covered with a million blankets.” You go, BunnyGirl. Same! 

Quilty

This weighted blanket by Luna appears to draw inspiration from the Pantone color of the year, comes in three different weight options, and is machine-washable:

The best flannel weighted blanket

Nothing says “I am a master of winter coziness” more than plaid, flannel, and hibernation. This model from Gravity Blanket—one of the biggest names in the weighted blanket game—can lead you to all three. Plus, its gridded stitching makes sure the weighted glass beads are perfectly distributed, no matter which way you toss and turn.

Weighted Flannel Sherpa Throw

Like a weighted blanket for your neck

Not exactly a weighted blanket, but this wrap by Ostrichpillow deserves an honorable mention for providing a similar effect for your neck. It’s filled with clay beads, and can be heated up in the microwave to soothe your aches and pains wherever you go. Sure, you could just use the old rice in a sock method—but eventually that rice, like your patience, is going to be over-cooked. You deserve something with more staying power.

Heated Neck Wrap

Sweet slumbers.

How do you have sex in space? Experts reveal that men can have erections and women's love fluid “cannot flow out”

美國太空總署(NASA)專家表示,在失重的太空中,男性依舊可勃起,但女性在興奮時用於潤滑陰道的分泌物會流不出來。圖為SpaceX飛龍號前往國際太空站對接畫面。(歐新社檔案照) 2021/10/10 00:42〔即時新聞/綜合報導〕德國太空人毛雷爾(Matthias Maurer)近日接受媒體訪問,被問到「太空中的性愛」時卻慌了手腳;對此,美國太空總署(NASA)專家表示,在失重的太空中,男性依舊可勃起,但女性在興奮時用於潤滑陰道的分泌物會流不出來。根據《德國之聲》報導,毛雷爾被問及「太空中的性愛」時表示,目前的太空任務還沒有談到關於「性」的問題,畢竟他們所處的環境屬於工作場所,他也似乎不確定「性行為」是否應該成為太空人培訓的其中1個環節。 美國太空總署前醫療顧問薩拉琳.馬克指出,待在太空會改變人類的生理時鐘,當太空人處於國際太空站,每90分鐘繞地球1圈,會改變生理時鐘的晝夜規律,人體的性激素、性慾也會受到改變。薩拉琳.馬克提到,男性在太空中能夠勃起;美國太空人佳藍(Ron Garan)過去曾2度上太空,他也婉轉地表達,發生人體在地球發生的事情也會出現在太空中;不過對於女性而言,性慾被喚醒後,潤滑陰道的分泌物將無法自然流出,會聚集並變成小氣泡黏在陰道內。在美國太空總署工作15年的生物倫理學家沃爾普(Paul Wolpe)點出在失重狀況下,進行性行為是有難度的,根據牛頓第三運動定律,兩個互相作用的物體會產生大小相等的作用力與反作用力,在太空中,性行為產生的推力會使伴侶互相遠離。對此,德國太空人沃爾特(Ulrich Walter)建議,可以把伴侶用膠帶、扣帶固定在牆壁上,如此一來就能發生性行為。 不用抽 不用搶 現在用APP看新聞 保證天天中獎  點我下載APP  按我看活動辦法

Sally Rooney’s Fiction for End Times

Sally Rooney’s fiction for end times. October 4, 2021 Art isn’t meant to be one-size-fits-all, and a book’s popularity is always less about its worthiness than its marketing budget. We all know this. But the problem—particularly for Sally Rooney, whose two novels and two TV deals have sent critics scrambling to theorize her success—is that…
