Weighted blankets

Starbuck

I was wondering if anyone on the forums has used or currently uses a weighted blanket?

I have read that they can be very good for relieving anxiety and can even help to improve sleep, but I am a skeptic when it comes to the marketing hype.

I am interested to hear your experiences and whether you think they are worth the money as they don't come cheap!

The reason I am considering one is due to my anxiety levels being very high for a prolonged period of time now as well as having to deal with poor sleep.  I have tried medication and it hasn't agreed with me so I am getting desperate for a solution, especially as my health is starting to suffer and I am becoming very run down.

  • I have used a weighted blanket it helped me a lot, my nephew has one that I borrowed but as you said they cost a lot of money. I haven't spent the money for myself so I would have to say that to me it isn't worth the money even though it did help a lot.

    Thanks Song.  I too would like to try one first to see how well they work for me due to the investment these blankets require.  Interesting that even though you found it beneficial, you still don't think it is worth the upfront cost to purchase one for yourself.  It's good that you can borrow one though should you need it.

    He is a long way from me now, but I am going to look into making one for myself. I really can not justify spending that much on one for myself.
