You can get a similar effect by sleeping with a frozen 12-pack of LaCroix on your chest
Ah yes, the modern day knights armor.
Again? I assume again we come to the conclusion that this is everything but comfortable because of the constant hair pinching? Or smell of metal?
I guess a thin linen sheet between the two would alleviate the pinching without negating the cooling effects
I imagine any smell would disappear after a short while, cutlery doesn’t smell of metal
Metal doesn’t smell. That smell comes from oils in your skin reacting with metal oxides. And cutlery is usually made from stainless steel which is resistant to oxidation.
A duvet cover would solve both of those issues.
Where I’m from, people call a duvet a comforter. I grew up thinking this is what they were called into my 20s. People think this name for it is funny. It is.
A comforter is one piece acting as both a heavy blanket and a bedspread. A duvet cover goes over a comforter or similar for decoration. In theory you can save money with a cheap plain comforter covered by a decorative duvet cover. You can also wash a duvet cover easier and more frequently than a comforter
Interesting. Fuck a decorative anything related to sleep or leisure though. Decorative pillows, eat my entire ass.
Ok, eating an entire ass is a milestone.
I do love having a silk duvet. Yeah it is expensive, don’t care right now. The point I will actually make is you can put different inserts on the inside and have the same outside. It isn’t meant to go on top of a stereotypical comforter. The insert has loops on the corners and there are strings inside the duvet that ties to them. Otherwise, the insert looks like a very plain comforter without any decorative top. What is nice is you can get heavier or lighter inserts. I have even seen weighted blankets that have the loops on them.
In Australia a Duvet is called a “Doona” (Du-Nah) and is different from an American comforter.
We also have “American comforters” but they don’t need a cover, the whole thing can frequently and easily go in the wash, but a doona/duvet requires a huge process to launder, so you always put a cover on it.
I use a doona cover without a doona in it as a top sheet in summer. Lifehack
Ackshually you can’t smell metal you just smell the chemicals metals make when they react with your skin. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BqLH-nTZEOc
Ackshu-u-ually you can’t smell stuff on your skin, what you smell are vapors or particles getting to your nose.
I guess it depends how much this person weighs
About 160lbs of aluminum
Aluminum is so light tho
Not that light. Buddy and I made a chainshirt out of cans’ push tabs. That shit was heavy. Would work well as a weighted blanket.
Weighted blanket should be about 8%—14% of your body weight depending on why you’re using it, hard to tell how thick the rings are but you could get 5-7kg from that blanket which would be hefty enough for a petite person.
It would’ve be a lot easier and cheaper to buy a weighted blanket. They’re made of glass beads so never smell like metal
This is not the first time I’ve heard about weighted blankets. What do they serve for? Is it because some people prefer to be under a weight while sleeping, or is there some medical benefit?
Asking as someone who can only stand the lightest of covers.
Is it noisy like putting away dishes when you turn over?
No, there’s not much space to shuffle inside, because it’s sewn to form small pockets of beads. As far as I remember, the amount of sound is about the same as from walking on sand: not much
