My "blankey" is in a drawer under my bed. I pull "him" (he's always been a he, I don't know why) out and rub him on my face sometimes but he's too fragile to sleep with or I most certainly would. Instead I'm very particular about pillows and pillowcases and even when I'm IP I take my own pillow or I can't sleep. I also have to have my weighted blanket and am worried about a vacation out of the country this summer where I'll have neither. At least the pillows won't be hospital pillows though.
