I don't know whether a blanket made of a different material would be less so. An alternative to a weighted blanket is a weighted lap pad, which you would use when sitting. I often put a weighted vest on my lap when I'm watching a movie to keep me grounded. Hi Craig,

I have been interested in these blankets for quite some time, but I don't tolerate heat well at all. I also can't sleep well if I'm too warm. One question, how warm is the blanket?

Was it worth the weight [wait]?
