Speak up people with any experience. The reviews on Ama make me want to BIN but I need to know which weight to get

RichieRichThe general rule is to get a blanket that is 10% of your body weight.

cisco245No smiley. Can't tell if you're joking or asking a genuine question.
I'm about 175. So got a 15lb one from Amazon a few weeks ago. If you are closer to 200-225 then get the 20lb one.

glennacMissed opportunity then😀.
But on a serious note. I know different manufacturer have different care instructions, but I have a 25lbs blanket that started to fall apart. After 5 washes the seams started to get unstitched.
Is there anything wrong on how I do the laundry? I usually wash it on cold, regular wash with no fabric softener.

cisco245Washing in "Regular Wash" might be the problem. I would think "Delicate" agitation would be desirable. At least with mine, the weight is composed of glass beads. Vigorous agitation of all of that weight could put a lot of stress on the seams and stitching.

RichieRichI just read that you should choose the weight that is 7-13% of your own body weight.

The duvet from india works great and is soft enough (I am used to 800 tc).
Verdict is in. IT WORKS. I lay on top of it and do not go under it until I am ready to fall out. When I sleep with it I am able to stay on my back all night without flipping to my side and tossing a pillow between my knees. I wake without back issues and tend to sleep straight through the night. At first it feels a bit trapping under 25 pounds but that goes away. I let it rest at my ankles with my feet exposed.
