The 12 Best Weighted Blankets for Anxiety—and Why You Might Want to Buy One

Weighted blankets are exactly what they sound like: comforters with tiny pellets or metal chains woven throughout, so that weight is distributed across the body when a person lies underneath them. They come in a variety of weight ranges—weighing upwards of 40 pounds—and make you feel like you're being swaddled in a cozy cocoon. Why would you invest in a weighted blanket, you ask? Because it's calming AF.

Weighted blankets have become the bedding accessory to have, as well as a super popular gift to give this season. A quick glance at their online reviews shows that plenty of people really do rely on them to help with conditions like anxiety and insomnia. It may sound a bit pseudo-scientific, but it's actually true: the potential weighted blanket benefits for adults and children alike include helping to improve mood, reduce stress, and promote restful sleep.

So what's the real story here? Could a weighted blanket really be the answer to your sleep or anxiety problems? It might be worth a try, says Jeneane Solz, PhD , an instructor of psychology at Columbia University Medical Center — but there are a few things you should know before making your purchase.
