The best weighted blankets are more than just a simple way to spruce up a bedroom; they have real therapeutic uses. Studies show that weighted blankets can give similar benefits to deep pressure therapy at home, and can help with several conditions, including autism, ADHD, and anxiety. 

And if you struggle to sleep because you feel restless, you're anxious, or you have other sleep disorders, a weighted blanket could help. Just remember to choose a weight that's 10-12% of your weight, otherwise, it'll be too heavy or so light you won't feel the benefits.

Popular and well-priced

MVPower's weighted blanket is one of the cheapest options, and sold on its own rather than as part of a set. Its seven layers reduce the noise when you turn, and it's breathable so you can use it in the summer. The cotton material is soft, machine washable, and finished in quality sewing.

The best weighted blankets are filled with small glass beads and are well-made, so the weight is evenly distributed. The Viviland weighted blanket kit comes out on top because it's affordable, and contains both a cover and a face mask.

Most weight blankets are grey, but if you'd like a different pattern or colour, you should check out the Softan set that comes in four varieties. For a super luxurious option, check out the GnO weighted blanket that comes with a super-soft bamboo cover. And if you're looking for a kid's weighted blanket, the Anjee designs are perfect.
