Weighted blankets to improve sleep - do they work?

DaisyDuck

Hello.  

Has anyone tried a weighted blanket designed to promote good sleep? What was your experience?

Thank you in advance

  • 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

    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.

    Thank you for sharing your experience. Great tip to build up the time of use, I hadn't thought about that.
