Weighing much more than traditional blankets, weighted blankets, based on a therapeutic technique called deep pressure stimulation, offer a range of therapeutic benefits, such as relieving stress and anxiety. Being a blanket, they are easily transportable, meaning you can reap the benefits of them wherever you are. The use of a weighted blanket may have subjective and objective benefits. Reducing stress and promoting calmness, the gentle pressure of a weighted blanket might help improve sleep for people with autism, anxiety, or insomnia.

What is the best weighted blanket?
The best weighted blanket depends on personal preferences regarding cost, size, weight, and style. Our bed experts can help you choose the right one.
What are the benefits of using a weighted blanket?
Stress reduction and relaxation are two advantages of using a weighted blanket. The gentle, even pressure distribution offers a comforting, hug-like feeling that promotes relaxation and better sleep. They can provide a sense of calm by reducing symptoms of anxiety, dyspnea (shortness of breath), and fast heartbeat in people with overactive nervous systems.
How do weighted blankets work?
The added weight can ease transitions, ease tension and anxiety, improve sleep quality, help the user relax, and stop meltdowns and repetitive behaviour.
Are there risks when using a weighted blanket?
Some risks associated with using a weighted blanket include obstructive sleep apnea, asthma, and claustrophobia, so consulting a healthcare professional if you have concerns is essential.
Is it safe to use a weighted blanket during pregnancy?
We do not recommend using one when pregnant. If you do wish to, we advise seeking professional medical advice in the first instance.
Do weighted blankets make you hot?
They can trap heat and moisture, making a person sleep hot. However, some products are breathable and have a heat-wicking material to keep the body cool during sleep. Our bed experts will be able to recommend further.
How long do weighted blankets last?
If cared for properly, they can last for up to five years.
Can I sleep under a weighted blanket?
Yes, you can.
