What are weighted blankets?
Weighted blankets are made from 100% cotton fabric that is filled with up to 600 lbs of natural minerals and/or stones. They are a great way for children, adults, or seniors to get the soothing benefits they desire when they wrap themselves in them.
Why should I get one?
People who want to fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly typically don’t have a problem turning off their minds. However, many people find it challenging without some form of external stimulus to help them focus on something other than their thoughts.
The weight of the blanket makes it easy to focus on the simple act of breathing and the feeling of having a heavy blanket over you which allows you to clear your mind and relax. Weighted blankets are a great addition to a bedtime routine because they help people fall asleep faster.
If you are an adult looking for a way to reduce stress, anxiety, and improve your sleep, then try putting a weighted blanket. Many people use them as deep pressure therapy to help with anxiety.
Weighted blankets are also useful for those with developmental disorders or sensory issues. Many people have found that the positive effect of weighted blankets on their health has created an environment where they are more comfortable and less anxious while others look to them to help them focus on different tasks, such as homework.
How is it do I use a weighted blanket?
These blankets are incredibly simple and easy to use since you just need to wrap yourself up in one or zip it closed like a sleeping bag.
How heavy should my weighted blanket be?
The amount of weight in your blanket depends on your preferences. Most weighted blankets range from five to 80 pounds. If you choose a blanket with more weight, it will force you to focus more as you move around under the blanket, which is why many people like them.
You can also wrap yourself in a few light blankets rather than one big one if you don’t want that much weight, so everyone is free to choose what works best for them.
When should I use my blanket?
Some people like to use their blankets at night, but many people use them during the day as well. If you are going to be using yours during the day, choose a lighter blanket so that you don’t get too hot and uncomfortable while working or studying. You can also put it around your neck while you work at your desk if you are looking for another way to focus on breathing and relax your mind.
If you’re using a heavier blanket, you should only use it at night so that you don’t get too warm as the day goes on. You can also use it at night and during the day if that works better for you.
