Another option is to have one placed on top of a lighter tog duvet, so you can easily remove one or the other as needed. The pure bamboo weighted blanket and cover are wonderfully breathable and a joy to sleep under on warmer evenings or with a low-tog duvet on chillier nights. The velvety cover included in the box feels wonderful next to skin, and we often found ourselves running our hands along the dimpled detail throughout. Treatments are available for insomnia, but those looking for a non-medicated route to better sleep would do well to give weighted blankets a go. There is also evidence that 'deep touch pressure', or the feeling these blankets simulate, can help improve anxiety.

While this option does cater to children, parents should confirm that 8 pounds is safe for their child’s specific weight. But that’s the magic of it: there are no beads or added components because the weight comes from the layer upon layer of hand-knitted organic European cotton. You have lots of weight options to pick from, so this is a good pick for a wide range of body types. Thanks to its knit design, the model is a good option for people who tend to run hot during sleep or are looking for a blanket that can be used year-round, including in warmer seasons. The cover was also easy to get on and off, which is not always the case with these blankets, so that was appreciated.

It’s fair to say that on my partner, this one was pretty much like an ‘off’ switch after a busy day at work. The lowdown: Aeyla (previously Mela) has a good selection of weighted blankets with three covers to choose from.Our testers found the Baloo Weighted Blanket to be soft and suitable for year-round use, thanks to the smooth, breathable cotton cover and cool glass bead fill. This sensation is intended to simulate deep pressure touch (DPT), a type of therapy that alleviates anxietyby distributing an even amount of weight across the body. The weight is slightly less than most weighted blankets, but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing because it should be perfect for people who find 6kg-plus blankets a little overwhelming or claustrophobic. Meanwhile, a 20- or 25-pound blanket may provide more deep pressure for people who weigh between 180 and 220 pounds.

The mind’s focus is then on the sensation of the blanket and the breath, not any thoughts that had been racing beforehand, meaning it can also be used as a mindfulness tool when used in this way,” she explains. This can be true for adults, teenagers, and children age 2 or older, especially if they experience an undue amount of stress over work, family, or other concerns. We didn’t like: While it’s a definite plus that the cover can be removed for washing, the corner ties that attach it to the weighted blanket were a little fiddly.The cover and liner feature double-stitched baffles for the beads to distribute their weight evenly across your body.

You shouldn’t give these blankets to children under three-years-old and, if you have a respiratory or chronic medical condition, you should check with your GP before using one.
