The Efficacy of Weighted Blankets: What Current Research Indicates

Credited from: APNEWS

  • Weighted blankets are believed to provide a calming effect akin to a hug, helping some individuals relax and sleep better.
  • They are filled with materials like glass beads or pellets, designed to distribute weight evenly across the body.
  • Research on their effectiveness is limited and mainly focused on specific populations with sleep disorders or anxiety issues.
  • Experts suggest a blanket should weigh about 10% of a person's body weight, but they are not suitable for babies.
  • While some studies hint at benefits for anxiety and chronic pain, more research is needed to conclude their overall impact on sleep quality.
