Home & Bedding

Start by understanding that weighted blankets work differently from regular bedding: the extra pounds provide deep pressure stimulation, which some people find soothing and others find restrictive. Test the sensation before committing by draping a heavy duvet or stacked blankets over yourself for fifteen minutes to gauge your reaction. Choose a weight you can lift and reposition easily during the night, and consider whether you sleep hot, since many weighted options trap more warmth than a standard cotton blanket.
