The benefits of weighted blankets have been discussed for a long time.
People say they help with anxiety and they’re often described as a bit like being hugged.
The blanket has compartments that contain weights to add pressure to your body when you lie under it.
And now, with people being asked to stay apart during the coronavirus pandemic, it might be worth trying one out for that comforting hug feeling.
The good news is that Wayfair has reduced the price of theirs.
There are two sizes with prices starting at £27.99 for the smaller blanket, which is 26% cheaper. The 150cm x 125cm blanket usually costs £37.99.
The larger 200cm x 150cm blanket is reduced from £62.99 to £52.99, which is 16% off.
The smaller blanket weighs 4kg and the larger weighs 8kg. The recommend blanket weight is usually 7-12% of your body weight.
The description on the Wayfair website says: ‘Using revolutionary ‘Deep Touch Pressure Stimulation’ therapy – known for releasing a sense of serenity and calm – the compact stitched pockets distribute weight evenly across your entire body, creating a calming, cocoon or snuggle effect.’
The Wayfair blanket is made up of a series of 4.5in pockets containing hypo-allergenic micro glass beads. The cover is made from breathable cotton.
There are also loops so you can attach a cover if you need to.
The product has five star reviews and shoppers love it.
One said: ‘OMG what a wonderful nights sleep I get now! I suffer from anxiety and find myself tossing and turning all night, no more this is amazing I only wish I had bought one a few years ago!’
Another added: ‘Great blanket, packaging was good it comes in a little bag. The blanket it self helps me fall asleep a lot faster than usual.’
