Weighted blankets are ace, but bit tricky if you share the bed with someone. My partner (who falls asleep in 12 seconds and has no issues sleeping, ever) and I both have weighted blankets. We tried to share a massive one but was too heavy for her and in any case a large chunk of it gets accumulated in the middle between us. Individual ones are better but you either end up with overlap or they're too far over to either side and slide off the bed.
Dream is separate rooms, separate beds. We don't have the space at the moment but when I mention that this should be our ultimate goal she takes MASSIVE offense.

My GF has chronic back pain issues that made sleeping so fraught it developed into a nice anxiety driven inability to sleep if she even thinks she might get disturbed and not get back to sleep.
after a couple of years of trying to share a bed but ending up being kicked out onto the sofa bed at 3am I just conceded and slept on the sofa bed in the living room in our tiny 1 bed flat instead. wasn't the best on my back sometimes and meant I couldn't go to bed very early on the rare occasion I wanted to but we both got much better sleep.
we're renting outside of london now and both have our own rooms, now the dog and I sleep in the "guest room" and when we have guests visit I sleep on the day bed in my study which is a bit small for a fat git like me esp with the dog but it really is living the dream compared to the hell years of sharing a bed.
I got a weighted blanket a couple of months ago. Was fully prepared for it being no use at all, but I'm sold. Far less waking up throughout the night than I had been. Subjectively better sleep.
