@gingerw, I sleep under a heavy comforter during all the seasons. if I could, I would have an eighty pound dog to weigh my legs down. ( I have restless legs ad well) Pressure makes me feel better. Period.

In the nineties, we sandwiched a little Spectrumite between two bean bags, while one of us actually leaned on the topmost beanbag. This was done at the kiddos request and permission from the parents. The school system psychologist was in complete acceptance with this method. Primitive, but back then we did not have pressure vests.

More to come

@mamacita I have a nice spread on the bed right now, and "coccoon" myself in it each night, like a burrito! When my cat gets up here, I know she will lay across my legs, and for that I am grateful.
