Weighted blankets were originally created for medical use," says Dr Nauf AlBendar. "They are typically one of the sensory tools commonly used in psychiatric units and occupational therapy to help comfort restless individuals." We liked: I loved this blanket. It was a little lighter than some of those I’ve tried, but still heavy enough to stop me tossing and turning in bed, so I sleep really deeply when I use it. The cover is removable but there are enough ties inside to keep it secure, so it’s easy to move. Even better, unlike the John Lewis one, which can only be spot cleaned, I can throw this one’s cover in the wash to refresh it if I ever need to. It’s pretty self-explanatory. A weighted blanket is like a regular blanket, except they have glass (or sometimes plastic) beads stitched inside to give them added weight when you pull it around you. The more beads inside, the heavier they are. Research suggests a target of 7% to 12% of your body weight," says Dr AlBendar, and the brands’ blanket recommendations generally keep to these guidelines, give or take a few kgs.

We didn’t like: There wasn’t much to dislike, although I’d prefer a choice of colours. It’s also on the pricey side, but I felt that it it’s worth it. Recommended.
