Safety feeling

Safety feeling

I wanted to share that when I can and I am feeling anxious; I have a weighted (blanket) doona which makes me feel more secure. Just in case I can help someone if they like the idea.

I've heard they are great @Down2 . Do you find it hot? I know you can get cooling ones.

So great that it works for you.

@hanami Yes I couldn’t use the blanket in summer. I have a slender frame so it’s fine for me in this weather.

the weight is soothing to me.

I love being under a doona with the aircon on

Re: Safety feeling

My kids love the doona on with the ceiling fan @Shaz51 - doesn't matter if it's 12 degrees they love the air circulating and to snuggle under their blankets
