Had a stressful day? Need a night of deep, refreshing sleep or just a next-level nap? Weighted blankets are taking the world of relaxation by storm, providing relief to anxiety sufferers, fitful sleepers, people with chronic pain, and just about anyone seeking a higher standard of shut-eye or some quality R&R.
Gravity weighted blankets use 10 percent of your body weight to ground your nervous system and essentially swaddle you like a baby, lulling you into dreamland. Studies have shown that weighted blankets relieve stress and anxiety by increasing melatonin and serotonin and decreasing cortisol, the stress hormone. At night, it helps decrease movement and keep you in a deep, restorative REM cycle, giving you the kind of sleep your body craves.
The award-winning Gravity blanket uses fine-grade glass beads to provide gentle support and gridded stitching to keep the beads in place, ensuring even weight distribution. It comes with a cozy duvet cover with elastic-button connectors and ties to make sure the blanket doesn’t shift around inside.
A weighted blanket is designed for one person at a time because it’s specific to the individual. The Gravity blanket comes in two colors and three weight options from 15 to 25 pounds — aim to buy one that’s as close to 10 percent of your body weight as possible. Right now most of the gray ones are on sale, with the 20- and 25-pounders priced at just $156 (was $195).
Amazon will give you free shipping on all these items. But if you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get so much more — from access to new movies to two-day shipping on many items. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here.
