The Research
68% of participants rated their anxiety lower with the use of the weighted blanket
Study in Occupational Therapy in Mental Health
Several studies have explored the benefits of using weighted blankets.
A sleep study published in the Journal of Sleep Medicine & Disorders found that participants who used the weighted chain blanket tested had a calmer night’s sleep, with a decrease in movements.
In another study, 68% of participants rated their anxiety lower with the use of a 30-pound weighted blanket. These results were published in 2008 in the journal Occupational Therapy in Mental Health.
Therapy for Sleep, Stress, and Anxiety
Weighted blankets are one of our most powerful tools for helping people who are anxious
Karen Moore, Psychology Today
Weighted blankets have been used for years in therapeutic settings to improve sleep and reduce stress and anxiety.
"In psychiatric care, weighted blankets are one of our most powerful tools for helping people who are anxious…. Deep pressure touch helps the body relax. Like a firm hug, weighted blankets help us feel secure, grounded, and safe." - Karen Moore, an occupational therapist, in Psychology Today
