Weighted blankets create the feeling of being “grounded” or hugged – similar to swaddling babies or putting “thunder jackets” on animals – and decrease stress and anxiety while improving sleep and potentially overall health.
If this is the first time you’re hearing about weighted blankets, they’re essentially blankets that are filled with “BPA-Free round glass beads” to make them heavy.
These blankets exert a calming pressure on your body, and they make it easier for you to relax and fall asleep and improve your quality of sleep.
Weighted blankets allow you to achieve all the benefits of a massage, but they’re a lot more cost-effective easier to use.
