I purchased the dozeology brand weighted blanket, and a friend (let’s call her B) bought a more expensive brand. This review is written as a comparison between the two.
We both enjoy the side effects of ADD, moderate anxiety, and a recently developed dependency on OTC sleep aids. It is difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up. After candlelight yoga, meditation, therapy, and hypnosis we figured what’s the harm in trying one more “gimmick.” Well, to all weighted blankets I sincerely apologize for calling you a gimmick.
Initial concerns:
Will this be too hot (I overheat in a heartbeat with regular comforters) - will it be too heavy - will it smell like plastic - will I feel trapped!? Nope to all of the above - it's like being hugged by a temperature controlled angel (or whatever higher power you believe in - or if you don’t believe in anything then it is like being hugged by a temperature controlled blanket). After one night I knew I would be ordering a second to leave at my significant other's house because I would never sleep without it again.
First night:
This blanket quieted my nightly racing thoughts - I wanted to stay awake and figure out how - but the next thing I knew it was 6:15 am. Did I fall asleep before deciding which episode of The Office to watch? Did I stay asleep all night!? Yes and yes! In fact, it has been 10 days, and I have yet to overheat, feel trapped, or wake up before the morning alarm. I no longer use a TV to help me fall asleep. For the first time in years, I look forward to falling asleep. I get into bed, click off the light, drift off, and wake up feeling rested.
Packaging:
15 lbs is heavy, and my upper body strength is nothing to write home about. I was worried about carrying it from the shipping address to my house. However, dozeology is brilliant, and it comes in a sturdy easy to carry box with a sturdy handle that never faltered. The box was easier to carry than trader joe's grocery bags!
B's came in a bulky box,, and the blanket was only protected by a light plastic bag - she struggled the entire walk home and had to stop multiple times to readjust her grip.
Weight distribution/comfort:
We agree the blanket is precisely what our nighttime ritual was missing. Both blankets help ease racing thoughts and promote healthy sleep habits.
I cannot emphasize the importance of temperature control. There is nothing worse than being hot and miserable in bed. I still cannot wrap my mind around how I stay at a comfortable temperature under a 15 lb blanket - but I do.
B has complained of overheating and a slight odor. I have not experienced either of these issues with the doze blanket.
Quality:
Ooh la la. The blanket comes “pre-assembled," it is secured in a lovely light blue duvet. My bedding is Peacock Alley, and this high-quality duvet cover fits in perfectly with the other linens. The blanket does not slide around on the inside of the cover. When you are making the bed, and you pull on the cover the entire blanket moves - I greatly appreciate this attention to detail.
B’s blanket did not come with a cover - she complains that it slides around on the bed and does not stay put through the night. She purchased a duvet but still complains that it slides around in the duvet because there are no options for attachment.
Both blankets have the weight distributed evenly throughout and provide a comforting element - but that is about as far as the similarities go.
Would I recommend this:
Yes and I have. My mother, roommates, and friends have all purchased the blanket. I have only received one complaint - a friend wanted a red duvet option - which seems like an aggressive bedding choice for someone with anxiety - but to each their own.
I purchased this blanket because I wanted to lessen dependency on prescriptions and OTC sleep aids and train my body to fall asleep naturally. Mission Accomplished!
I purchased this for I have been struggling with sleep issues for a long time now. I’ve tried different medications but nothing has really been helpful. I did a lot of research and read a lot about weighted blankets, to be honest I was extremely skeptical about Dozeology’s weighted blanket because they are new to the market but I liked that they offered their weighted blanket along with a removable cover in a package already and it looked to me like a high quality product so I took a leap of faith and invested in it. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! It didn’t solve my sleeping issues right away, but after a few nights of sleeping with it, I started sleeping so much better! It made a huge difference! It is definitely one of my best purchases ever on Amazon.
I was surprised how soft and comfy this is. The Sky White color goes well with my home decor which is a bonus! The weighted blanket itself is of really good quality, and I didn’t need to order a separate duvet cover as this already came with a soft and good quality removable cover. I tend to feel warm especially at night which made me skeptical about weighted blankets but surprisingly, I don’t feel hot under this.
From someone who suffers from anxiety, stress, depression, and insomnia this blanket has helped me sleep better at night and reduce my stress while I am taking college classes. The stitching is well put together and doesn't feel cheaply made. I also like that it's 100% cotton. Also doesn't make me sweat at night which is a plus. I gave it 4 stars because the description said this blanket would be 60x80 (Queen size), but the measurements are more for a full-sized bed. Other than that, this blanket is serving its purpose. I recommend it.
The blanket is extremely well made! The fabric is strong but breathable and soft, and the color compliments my bedroom decor nicely. The weight within the blanket amazingly stays in place, and is just perfect to help me stay asleep through the night. I've slept so soundly since using the blanket! I do wish the blanket came in a larger size. Though the blanket would be even heavier, the ability to snuggle up with it would be easier. Overall a great blanket, and I will be buying more for my children as well!

This blanket is AMAZING!! I’ve tried a few other weighted blankets before, and this one takes the cake. The glass beads stay even and centered within the blanket. There’s no bunching, the blanket stays well put inside the duvet. It’s all amazing. I’m IN LOVE. It’s perfect.
Was a little hesitant of spending this much for a blanket especially after having read a lot of reviews about other weighted blankets that had beads leaking out and fabric tearing up, I don’t think I can handle that kind of mess, but as someone with insomnia and anxiety at the same time, I’m willing to do ANYTHING for a good sleep! This weighted blanket was exactly as advertised and I am amazed with the excellent quality.
The fabric seems very sturdy. I did not experience any beads spilling out, both the feel and texture of the blanket’s default fabric and the removable cover that came with it were soft and very comfortable. It has helped me sleep much better and wake up feeling better.
I am very pleased!
I love this blanket! I had been having trouble sleeping and since I started using this blanket I’m not waking up throughout the night anymore. I like that it comes with a cover that can be easily removed and washed. And the blanket attaches to the cover so it doesn’t bunch up. I was worried that it would be too hot, but so far it’s been just right temperature wise.
The weight is just right, the package comes with it is really pretty and sturdy. The bundle comes with a really soft and pretty cotton duvet cover. For less than $100, this is definitely a bargain. Whole set is really premium and high quality. I shop a lot on Amazon but don’t usually leave review, but I really need to comment on this one. One of the best thing I ever bought on on Amazon.com. Al. Also, the gift is really nice. I have at least 10 different eye masks at home but still keep buying since I really need a total black-out one. And the eyemask it comes with this weighted blanket blows all the others out of the water. It’s nothing like those cheap gifts that you find in other Amazon product that you couldn’t help but throw them away right away.
VERY nicely made weighted blanket--GOOD QUALITY. Stays in place all night without sliding around. And it's the PERFECT weight. I have slept better in the last week than I have in a long time. I also think my husband is sleeping more quietly (he has sleep apnea)--either that or I am not hearing him because I am sleeping so much better...LOL. (I had a weighted blanket before this that was heavier and bean baggie...it slid around and got uncomfortable. I used it anyway because the weight just felt so good to sleep with. The Dozeology Blanket it so much better!)
