What is a weighted blanket?

In short, a weighted blanket, also known as a gravity blanket, is a heavy blanket that is used to help you sleep and reduce anxiety. Although they first began as a therapeutic tool, weighted blankets have recently become a mass-market product.

Weighted blankets were first created as a way to give deep pressure therapy and reduce anxiety in children on the autism spectrum. They usually weigh between five and 30 pounds to mimic deep pressure therapy.

Various studies have proven that weighted blankets improve the sleep quality of people with major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and sleep disorders.

What do you need to know about shopping for a weighted blanket?

While weighted blankets can provide several benefits to your mental health and comfort, they come with a few drawbacks, including extra care when cleaning and temperature control. You want to make sure you get a blanket that’s the right size and has great airflow.

They’re heavy, so they can be difficult to travel with. When buying a weighted blanket, it’s recommended to buy one that is 10 percent of your body weight for the best results. For example, if you’re 150 pounds, find a 15-pound weighted blanket.

Weighted blankets can take some time to get used to and may feel awkward or too hot at first, so claustrophobia might be triggered by the tightness of a weighted blanket. When shopping for a weighted blanket, look for one that circulates air away from your body to keep you cool all night long.
