I am a thin blanket sleeper. The weighted blanket is awesome for self-forting during a movie marathon. Sleep needs to be thin and preferably cotton. Fuck microfiber!! In the summer only certain body parts can be covered, mostly upper body/shoulders. Little know fact: summer months in the south are monster free. Late June to Mid-September are the only 'feet out" months of the year.
Also prefer a twin blanket. Cuz that's a perfect amount of blanket weight and coverage. I usually end up buying a queen/king to cover me. The doggos. The boy. To avoid the dreaded blanket smothering I only use one corner to cover myself with.
The boy... If blankets could be made of lead. I am amazed he hasn't stolen one from a dentist's office. He would sleep under all the mattresses in Princess and the Pea. He builds an earthen oven dome made of 15 layers of blankets. You could cook authentic flatbread based foods under his covers.
Those are my thoughts on blankets.
