Why do weighted blankets need to be so unwieldy and heavy?

I slept with one on my bed last night and when I tried to move it this morning I mangled my back

The heaviness is implied by the name

I was cleaning a client's home and they have a really heavy weighted blanket on a kids bed.
I swore that I threw my back out trying to straighten it out.

I do want one, but they do come in various weights.
I think the weights are like 10 lbs, 15 lbs, and 20 lbs.
Maybe you need a lighter weight.

Woo Hoo!
One more item off my "things to do list".
Finished burning the oversize branch that dropped a couple of months ago.
All the brush piles from cleaning the back lilac bushes are burn with this branch.
It burned throughout the night and that 30 foot branch is nothing but ashes.

I have managed to get 6 categories of my first website updated with all the rich text.
I still have 18 categories left and about 2/3's of the website to update.
Then I still have the second website to update.

Mine weighs 9kg which is very heavy for someone with my medical conditions to carry

I ordered the 9kg one as I went through their calculater to work out the correct weight.
I have a bunch of medical issues, including heart failure and a brain injury. I find 9kg to be way too heavy to move around.

Another favourite TV star from my childhood has just died

The Man from Uncle and NCIS were my favourites. In one episode of NCIS, David McCallum's character was asked what he looked like when he was young and 'Ducky' replied that he looked like Illya Kuryakin. I loved the 'Ducky' character

That's a 20 lbs weighted blanket.
After lifting my client's 20 lb blanket, I know that I will definitely getting something lighter weight.
Probably a 10 lb one.

I will probably have to have a covering for it since I have all my cats and you really can't clean them.

I also read that the beads/sand have leaked out of some of them.

I have been working on my website and have 12 categories done ( 350 items ) all updated and now with the "A" ranking.

I had a problem with one listing that I could not get enough "rich text" for. ( Trying describe drawing pencils )

Boy, this is a long process of getting all of this updated and I still have the other website to do when this one is finished.

I had off today and it was a rainy day and I guess a perfect time to work on the website.

Mine has a machine washable cover. The instructions on it DOES say that the beads sometime leak, so it is definitely an issue.

I don't think my blanket wweighs 9kg. That IS the one I ordered but it feels as heave as a sack of spuds which is roughly 25 kg

Well done you! I must admit my attention is elsewhere a bit at the moment, but really can't see how I can write a 30 word essay about a bar of soap! (slight exaggeration I know...) I think I'd lose the will to live if I had to do that for every item...
