What is a weighted blanket?

A weighted blanket is regular blanket except a bit heavier. They have glass beads or sometimes plastic beads stitched inside to give the added weight. The more beads inside the heavier the blanket. They're typically created from cotton or - for a more luxe feel - a velvety material. This adds extra softness and can't be beaten on a cold night.  They tend to come in neutral shades like such as navy or grey.

While there's nothing to say scientifically that they do work there is evidence that the deep touch pressure a weighted blanket creates can help curb that overwhelming feeling of anxiety, they offer a pressure stimulation similar to a big hug. In order for you to feel the full benefit a weighted blanket should ideally reflect 7-12% of your body weight.

So, for example;

Adult Large King Size 5.7 kg (12.5lb) is suitable for 45-80 kg individual 6.8 kg (15lb) is suitable for 55-100 kg individual 9.1 kg (20lb) is suitable for 75-130 kg individual 11.3 kg (25lb) is suitable for 95-160 kg individual

Single Size 3.5kg (7.5lb) is suitable for 25-40 kg individual 4.5kg (10lb)  is suitable for 35-60 kg individual 5.7 kg (12.5lb) is suitable for 45-80 kg individual 6.8 kg (15lb) is suitable for 55-100 kg individual

Does a weighted blanket really work?

Yes, weighted blankets do really work. Our Consumer Editor Heidi Scrimgeour tells us: "I wasn't really convinced by the idea of a weighted blanket until Eve sent me theirs to try. 'It's like a hug in a blanket,' they said, and I was still a bit dubious. (I like regular hugs and I'm quite happy with blankets being blankets.)

"But then it arrived, and I was gobsmacked by how heavy the thing is. Even the postie had something to say about it. It weighs 7kg - that's over a stone and heavier than some pushchairs!

"When we eventually dragged it to the sofa, I braced myself to snuggle under it... a strange sort of peace descended almost instantly. I still don't really get it but yes, it works.

"It feels less like a hug in blanket and more like a small friendly elephant is resting itself gently on you, but the calming effect is remarkable. I think it's something to do with the fact that the heaviness kind of forces you to relax. And there's nothing quite as relaxation-inducing than snuggling under it on the sofa with a cup of something warm in hand. As long as I don't have to get up in a hurry."
