Didn't really get to see the blanket - completely distracted by the two pillows.

Yes I have one which I use on the bed. I got it off Amazon as a gift for the missus. It's a bit like one of those extra blankets you get at the end of your bed in a hotel. You basically can't move with it on, although I did buy a heavier one than recommended as I was worried the effect wouldn't be noticeable. I wouldn't say I find it calming but it does make provide an extra level of comfort. Not using it in this heat.

Also, Would.

Available for pets too, a tight fitting coat. My dog gets stressed, separation anxiety, when we go away, got one for her when away for 3 weeks even though being looked after in her own house.

A combination of this an a natural Herbal calming medication worked very well.

Was heading for Thor's fascinating thread on small garden birds to report my sighting of a pair of Great Tits. Clicked on this thread by mistake. Suddenly my sighting seems insignificant..

Blimey, we need one of these at the moment, because we are having a kitchen extension being built and the TVs re-sited
and the whole house is packed into one room. I'm beginning to think I wish we had never started it.

I think you’re referring to a straight jacket.
