Think of all your little hairs getting caught in the links and pulled out whenever you move.

there's a reason why you never wear maille without a gambeson.

this with a light sheet in the summer or with a blanket in the cooler months would be pretty nice and I kinda want to make one now

I don't know how chainmail-specific your wish is, but there are plenty of weighted blankets for sale. Most of them have thousands of tiny heavy beads sewn into a quilted fabric that keeps them from moving around or bunching up too much. The one I have weighs about 8 lbs in Queen size and it feels, weight-wise, similar to the feeling of having four or five extra blankets on the bed but without all the heat/insulation of doing that.
