Monkey loves it! I ordered it somewhat big so if she wanted it extra heavy, we could double it up. (She loves it when she lays on the couch, then I lay on top of her, then Kitten lays on top of me! )
My only problem is that I have not been brave enough to wash it. I'm afraid there's no way my washing machine could handle it!

Z's new one is this sand kind of weight. It does provider deeper pressure than the plastic beads. It is a 9lb blanket and it DID break our dryer belt. Our top load washer is fine with it, but we have to lay it flat to dry. I would not wash it in a front load washer.
Our 5lb sensacalm blanket has been washed several dozen times and is just fine. I can even put a few other things in with it and it doesn't affect my washer/dryer.
