Weighted blankets are known for using gentle weight to promote a sense of calmness or relaxation using deep touch pressure stimulation. The American Psychological Association (APA) surveys people in the United States about their stress each year.

For many people, the feeling of a blanket pushing gently onto their body and weighing them down is calming. Weighted blankets are designed to reduce stress and promote feelings of relaxation, which in turn can help you fall asleep more quickly.
