Do weighted blankets actually help with anxiety?

Question

I'm looking into getting a weighted blanket. I suffer from anxiety and depression. Are weighted blankets worth the money?

Answer

I loved mine. Be sure to pay attention to the body weight ratio to get one that's not too heavy. Honestly though I'm 215 lbs and the 12 lb blanket was PERFECT. It felt like a big warm hug 🤗

Answer

I say yes but you can find alternatives so you don’t spend to much. My mom sleeps with a heavy comforter and like 3 small blankets on top and she says it helps her feel more secure. Relieves her anxiety enough for her to sleep through the night.

Answer

Target has some that aren't super expensive. If you're crafty you might try making your own 😁

Answer

I have a weighted blanket and I don’t know how I went so long without one! I sleep so much better and just feel better emotionally in general. Definitely worth it!

Answer

I recently got one and I think I'm the only person that doesn't like them. It made me feel too weighed down and like I couldn't move or breathe very well. Maybe it was just too heavy 🤷‍♀️

Answer

I love mine and got it as a gift but it was sooo expensive I would definitely look around and see what price points you can find them at before buying
