This XL weighted blanket mimics the feeling of being cuddled to sleep

As a child, you’re used to the comfort of having your parents’ arm around you as you sleep. This gentle weight and warmth is what promotes faster, sounder, better sleep, knowing that you’re being protected from everything bad. This feeling lingers on even through adulthood – of feeling safe and protected by warmth and weight, which is why it’s easier to sleep with weighted blankets. These blankets weigh slightly more than regular blankets do, making you feel warmer and cozier as you drift into sleep.

More than twice as large as your regular weighted blanket, the ‘XL Weighted’ comes from Big Blanket Co., a pioneer in this field. Designed to be large enough to not just cover you, but wrap all around you, the XL Weighted Blanket can be used in bed, on a sofa, or even as you’re lounging near the fireplace. Measuring larger than your average king-sized bed, the XL Weighted is 12000 square feet of fuzzy, weighted goodness. It covers everything from your head to all the way around your cold toes, and there’s still enough to share with someone else.

Made from moisture-wicking polyester with a 100% cotton duvet cover on top, the XL Weighted blanket keeps you warm and cozy but wicks perspiration so you’re never sweaty. Calibrated to be what Big Blanket Co. believes to be the ideal mass for a weighted blanket, each blanket weighs 30 pounds (distributed between two partners) and comes filled with premium glass microbeads often found in the highest quality weighted blankets.

Designed to mimic the feeling of being embraced, the XL Weighted blanket pretty much one-ups a comforter, with a design that’s perfectly material and weight calibrated, and with a size that’s big enough to wrap around you completely from head to toe… or if you’re in the mood to, to share with the person shivering right next to you!

The Burrito Blanket Looks Like a Giant Tortilla

Do you like burritos? So do I. So it’s no wonder that this burrito-inspired blanket is making my mouth water. It looks just like the delicious, slightly charred dough from a flour tortilla, but human-sized. I’ve been to a place that sells burritos as big as your head, but never ones this big.

While you or your kids can fit inside of these, I don’t recommend trying to take a bite, nor do I suggest slathering the inside of the blanket (or your family members) with beans, rice, sour cream, cheese, guacamole, pico de gallo, and grilled meat. Though if you do, at least this thing’s microfiber polyester fabric is machine washable.

The burrito blanket comes in a variety of prints, ranging from lightly toasted to well done, and in 47″, 60″, and 71″ sizes over on Amazon.

Pitfall! Atari Cartridge Throw Blanket Won’t Protect You from Crocodiles or Scorpions

Man, I loved Atari when I was a kid. I got all wrapped up in those games. And guess what? Now I can wrap myself up in Pitfall! for real and feel its cozy embrace. This Pitfall! Atari throw blanket is soft and comfy, but more importantly, looks just like the cartridge from the classic Activision game.

It looks like the game box too. So now you will know what that cartridge felt like while sitting on the store shelf. It felt warm and toasty. No swinging from vines and jumping on crocodile heads and leaping over quicksand for me. I prefer a good nap. Preferably an Atari themed one, where I can dream about all of those old games and star in my own adventure as Pitfall Harry – just like Jack Black. No scorpions inside, so no worries. No treasure either though, which sucks.

This blanket measures 60” tall x 48” wide, and while the game may have lasted only 20 minutes, you can use this blanket for as long as you want. It will help you avoid some of life’s pitfalls because it’s a jungle out there. Activision made some great games for the Atari 2600. Remember Kaboom and Stampede? How about Grand Prix? Yep, this brings back those old Atari memories.

Achieve a deeper sleep and reduce your anxiety with Hush’s new cool-to-the-touch, sweat-wicking weighted blanket.

Why Hush Iced

Hush Iced relaxes the nervous system by simulating deep touch pressure therapy — which increases serotonin and melatonin levels while decreasing cortisol levels — improving your mood and promoting restful sleep at the same time.

Ultra-Cooling Speciality Cover

Did you know that when you’re getting ready to take a snooze, your body temperature decreases to initiate sleep? Science shows that room temperature should be between 68-72 degrees for the optimum sleep benefits.

Hush Iced uses the same advanced weight distribution technology as the classic Hush Blanket, but with a lighter, cool-to-the-touch cover. Hush Iced’s proprietary bamboo and cotton blend helps wick away sweat during hot summer months, while still providing weighted relief.

The Big Blanket Keeps Families Warm Together, for a Price

The thing about snuggling on the couch as a family is that regular blanket just aren’t big enough. And when you get yourself covered up, people are always pulling your piece of blanket off. Well, problem solved. I think. This is the Big Blanket.

As its name says, it’s big and it’s a blanket. This $150, oversized blanket measures 10-feet by 10-feet, which is just a little bit bigger than a California King-size blanket or comforter, which measures about 9-feet wide, so you are only gaining an extra foot here. So why not just buy one of those and save yourself more than a hundred bucks? Maybe that’s just me.

Still, if you need a giant blanket to keep the whole family cozy on movie night, it’s not a bad idea. Just don’t act like you’ve reinvented the wheel, Big Blanket guys. Sure, it’s much bigger than an average throw, but you’re basically selling a slightly larger bed blanket. Sorry, but hyperbole makes me want to rant. Now if it were double the size of a California King, you might have something to brag about, but then it really would be impossible to wash.

Giant Crocheted Monopoly Board: Advance to Go, Collect 200 Naps

Monopoly is one of the biggest board games in history – at least in terms of sales. Now it’s one of the biggest board games, literally. Check out this giant crocheted Monopoly board that Twitterer pilotviruet’s mother made for her for Christmas. That is one huge Monopoly board. You could use it as a blanket and people could still play on top of it while you sleep, probably hitting you in the face with the dice every turn.

Another bonus is that if you don’t like the way the game is going, instead of flipping the board, you can just pull it out from under the game pieces like a magician. It’s pretty cool, but I’m disappointed she didn’t crochet all of the game pieces and cards. I mean, you can’t just buy the game accessories for a board that size at the store. Thanks, mom, great board. We’ll just use the TV remote and a coffee mug for playing pieces, and take a marker to these greeting cards to recreate the Community Chest and Chance cards. I’ll go get the fuzzy dice from the car.

There’s nothing better than a game that can also be a blanket. You get to play your game then go take a nap under it. I hope they found some cool game pieces though. This is probably the only Monopoly board you can put in the washer.

Harry Potter Wearable Throw Blankets: Snuggies Aren’t Just for Muggles

The best trick that a wizard can do is to be comfortable. These officially-licensed Hogwarts wearable throw blankets require no magic at all. Just money. If you’ve already consulted the sorting hat and know which house you belong to, just pick yours, and get cozy for the night.

These fleece throws feature big sleeves and printed graphics of a large house crest sewn to the throw as well as a striped tie and v-neck collar. You’ll be looking good and feeling as comfy as J.K. Rowling in a pile of money. These are perfect for when you want to watch a Harry Potter movie marathon or walk around the house while pretending that it’s Hogwarts. You can even run around the house pretending to play Quidditch – at least until you break some stuff and your wife yells at you. I say stay snug as a snitch and forget the horseplay.

These snuggie-style throw blankets available from Fun.com for just $20 each. They only come in one size, adult standard (48″ x 71″), because clearly there are more adult wizards in need of being warm and comfortable. Also, kids have a harder time conjuring up money. Fans of Newt Scamander will be pleased to know there’s a comfy throw for you too.
