Weighted blankets to improve sleep - do they work?

Hi Daisy yes i have a weighted blanket they are not specialy made for sleep though. They are meant to be used when you have a meltdown and are really stressed out. I find mine is excellent and if I am having a meltdown I reach for it straight away. It is like someone giving you a comforting hug I am sure you will find it really good if you do decide to try one let me know how you get on if you do plan to give it a go Daisy.

All the best Fluffy

Hi Daisy glad to hear you have ordered a weighted blanket best thing I got ever for myself. I time some one  had came to visit me and I happened to arrive just when I was having a big meltdown  and while I was having my very Emotional Meltdown Daisy the visitor started to tell me about people who did not have this that or the next thing. Then she told me how fortunate I was as I had this that an the next thing in my life. And they did not actually say it but think they were meaning you have good things in your life Helena, so why are you crying like this? They could not understand it was a meltdown I was having, and would not stay cause I was in tears. As soon as the visitor left me I reached for my weighted blanket Daisy, and snuggled down on my sofa an wrapped the blanket round me it felt so wonderful an I had a good sleep  till I recovered but afterwards I feel so very embarrassed but the blanket is just wonderful. Sorry to go on an on. Look forward to hearing how you get on with yours when you get it.

Hi Fluffy, thank you for sharing how it works for you. I've ordered one and will let you know how I get on!

have a great day. Daisy

I have one too, mines a gravity blanket. I sleep under it all night and have found it to be excellent at making me feel relaxed, thus, reducing the amount of time it takes me to nod off.

I also snuggle under it on the sofa at times and again it makes me feel more relaxed and secure.

It took about a week to feel comfortable underneath it and they do recommend you build up to longer periods of use by using it for a short time each day.
