Weighted blankets are heavier than those kinds of ordinary blankets that people usually keep at home. They typically weigh anywhere from 4 to 30 pounds, making them heavier than regular blankets. For many people who have disorders such as anxiety, insomnia, or autism, weighted blankets may provide a safe alternative to medication or other types of treatment. They can also be used to complement existing therapies. Research has shown that weighted blankets can help reduce symptoms and manage these conditions.
