Product Information

Most weighted blankets recommend it takes two weeks to fully adjust, but if it still feels too heavy, you may need to opt for a lighter weight.

So, when stimulated, the parasympathetic system lowers our blood pressure and pulse, slows down breathing, and increases the secretion of hormones like dopamine and serotonin promoting relaxation and calmness. We work hard to provide honest and independent advice you can trust and we spend hours scouring the Mumsnet forums and online bestseller lists to find products that real parents rate.

Of all the blankets we tried, this was the one that had the most instant ‘ahhh’ moment - where as soon as we put it over our lap, we wanted to snuggle up and relax. We loved the Emma weighted blanket for snuggling whilst watching a movie, but the neutral light grey colour looks great in modern bedrooms too. Clearpay lends you a fixed amount of credit so you can pay for your purchase over 4 instalments, due every 2 weeks. In layman's terms, deep pressure therapy is a form of therapy that relaxes our nervous system by applying gentle pressure on our body. We believe that once you find your favourite duvet, you won’t want to change anytime soon – so for your piece of mind we made sure to use long-lasting and machine washable materials.

As we said a second ago, stay away from weighted blankets filled with organic materials like sand, pebbles, buckwheat or grain. You can also use a duvet cover that's extra breathable if the weighted blanket itself has a stuffy cover. And, as a general rule of thumb, you don't want to overdo it and get a weighted blanket that's too heavy for your build. However, if the cover is a bit more stuffy, you can do it the other way around and rely on the duvet cover instead.First, we sought out the trusted opinions of Mumsnet users, to get their feedback on their favourite kids’ weighted blanket. The Luna Weighted Blanket for Adults comes with an innovative design and 7 layers that ensure even weight distribution and a cloud-like feeling. On top of that, this weighted blanket has anti-rustle pellets, making it a great weighted blanket when taking naps.

That said, it’s quite a statement piece and officially my new best friend on chilly winter evenings. Given how Aeyla has taken up our number one spot, it's no surprise that they're back for a second round. These can be done by the parents at no cost and might even fair better than a weighted blanket in certain cases. Weighted blankets work in the same way massage does, with deep pressure touch, which calms the mind, very much like swaddling.

They're not suitable for children under three, and if in doubt, remove the blanket at night once they've drifted off to sleep. By far the most important thing is to make sure that you (or whoever is using the blanket) can remove it without any help. They do come in a range of sizes – so make sure you don’t pick one that is bigger than their bed, as the weights could mean that it slides off the edge – the last thing you need just when they’re getting cosy. It's also important to note that your weighted or gravity blanket might not have a filling to begin with. People who suffer from anxiety can benefit from weighted blankets the most, but overall, most people can benefit from weighted blanket hugs.
