I've tried a weighted blanket that my friend has for anxiety - and it was too much for me, I almost throughout the year just have the cover without the duvet itself, just so I have some kind of cover.

It doesn't also help that I sweat abnormally so I have to be careful to end up into a puddle in my sleep
