I've known about weighted blankets for years; in fact, I've been using one myself for about 3 years. Back then, I was sleeping very restlessly, and that's how I came across the concept of gravity blankets. I was convinced by the argument that they are used in some hospitals for patients with sleep disorders, depression, and anxiety.

I love it, I can't imagine life without it anymore! I'm such a fan that my daughter also got one last year. A positive effect has been proven, especially in children. The blanket feels like a loving hug, which signals a feeling of safety to the body. It calms us down, we sleep more peacefully and deeply, and wake up much more relaxed. Our sleep quality has noticeably improved. I also feel like we fall asleep faster.

I personally find these blankets to be invaluable, especially for children who suffer from anxiety, are a bit more active, or have sleep problems. Of course, also for adults. It's similar to "swaddling" newborns. It creates a feeling of security and safety, which calms you down, reduces stress, and allows body and mind to relax more and faster. So, clearly in the realm of holistic relaxation.

As described above, I find weighted blankets to be an incredibly useful and thus simple way to improve quality of life. Personally, I believe they should become more widely known. For me, they only have positive aspects; as I said, I feel much more rested, relaxed, fall asleep faster, am calmer, and all of that "just" from a blanket. Simply brilliant! I also recommend them to parents, not just as a relaxation educator, but above all as a mother.
