What shoppers are saying
Out of over 43,000 reviews, this weighted blanket has earned an incredible 4.5-star rating.
One customer explained that he purchased this blanket in hopes of helping his wife's quality of sleep. Lo and behold, "it worked wonders" and "helped her sleep better."
Someone else added that it's an "affordable way to try out weighted blankets," as some models on the market can be quite pricy.
Another review mentioned that this blanket is "perfectly weighted" and "greatly improved" their sleep, while another added that it helped them "fall asleep way faster than usual."
However, many shoppers say that the blanket is prone to dirt and dust.
"It gets dirty easily," wrote a reviewer, who recommended that users put it in a duvet cover so you only have to worry about washing the cover.
Another shopper agreed, saying that the blanket isn't easy to clean due to its weighted nature, so you'd have to "get it dry cleaned" or "put a cover over it."
The verdict
If you're looking for a way to keep calm and relaxed while you fall asleep, the YnM Weighted Blanket might be for you.
Many shoppers say that this blanket improved their quality of sleep, but as it's prone to dirt, you might need to purchase a duvet cover along with it.
