What is a weighted blanket?

A weighted blanket is a blanket with extra weight that spreads even pressure across your body. This deep pressure has a calming effect and creates a feeling of security, much like a firm hug. Many people use a weighted blanket to sleep better, unwind or reduce restlessness. The blanket is often used to support sensory processing, for example with ADHD or autism, and helps both children and adults relax more easily. Besides blankets, this category also includes weighted cuddly toys such as the Manimo Weighted Dog and the Weighted Dachshund, and supportive accessories such as the Liz Shoulder Cushion.

Choosing the right weighted blanket

When choosing a weighted blanket, the main things to consider are weight, user and use:

  • Weight: the blanket should feel pleasantly heavy without feeling oppressive; choose a weight that suits the person.
  • User: choose a lighter blanket for children, while adults can go for a heavier one.
  • Shape: a full-size blanket for bed, or a more compact cuddly toy or shoulder cushion for daytime use.

If you are unsure about the weight, go for the lighter option. That way the blanket provides calm and comfort without feeling restrictive. A weighted cuddly toy or shoulder cushion is a lovely addition for on the go or on the sofa.
