I have two. One is a plush blanket and the other is a cooling blanket. Basically, winter and summer.
They help me relax and stay asleep -- although admittedly, the "winter" blanket makes me too hot sometimes. But it’s not a big deal if I pull the blanket up and let my feet out from underneath. Letting my feet "air out" (or however you want to put it?) prevents me from overheating.
FWIW, I have a 15 lb blanket and the general guideline is to get a blanket that's 10% of your body weight, and although I am roughly 100 lbs, I do not have a problem with a 15 lb blanket. In fact, I could probably even go with a 20 lb blanket and be fine. I find the weight soothing and do not feel "pinned down," unlike some people. (Some people do feel pinned down, so it's a matter of preference and comfort.)
