First, let’s talk about the benefits of weighted blankets for anxious sleepers. Designed to be heavier than the average comforter due to their internal bead or pellet fill, ranging from 5 to 25 lbs., a weighted blanket, sometimes referred to as a gravity blanket, provides your body with deep pressure stimulation to elicit the wonderful feeling of being held or hugged. This sensation of security while you fall asleep helps to counteract sleep problems like restlessness, worrying, and stress, making them ideal for anxious sleepers. So, ditch your normal duvet and discover how this magic blanket improves your sleep quality! To select the perfect heavy blanket for you, there are three important things you should always consider: your body weight, the size of your bed, and your comfort level. In terms of body weight, the recommendation is that the blanket should weigh about 10% of your body weight to avoid feeling constricted. You should also be mindful of the size of your weighted blanket. We suggest a weighted blanket that is slightly smaller than your bed’s dimensions, so the blanket’s weight will remain evenly distributed. Lastly, you should consider your comfort level. Select a weight and a material you prefer to sleep under to ensure you feel warm and cozy as you are falling asleep. So, if you always find yourself hibernating under tons of blankets at night to feel secure anyway, a weighted blanket is just what both you and your bed need for a better night's sleep.
