I was looking into weighted blankets, and discovered that I know nothing about them. I'm trying to figure out what weight might suit me best as an adult with a full size bed. Also, are they freakishly warm?

This website says:

Quote:
Your best option is to ask your occupational therapist for a recommendation. If that is not an option, we recommend using the following formula: For a small blanket take 10% of their body weight plus one pound. For a medium blanket take 10% of their body weight plus two pounds. For an adult-length blanket take 10% of their body weight plus three pounds. These recommended weights are shown as you make your weight selection.


This website has a chart.
