My 10 year old sons sleeping habits and by extension ours was transformed by this blanket. His frequent nighttime wakings even when exhausted was disturbing him and the rest of the family. From the first night he slept better, telling me in the morning “I still woke up a few times but was able to go back to sleep”. Normally he would wake up and be fully alert and couldn’t settle himself. This blanket has been brought this on holidays with us and is still so soft and comfortable after washing. We wouldn’t be without it, I already bought another one to be sure.
