Examining the Use of Deep Touch Pressure to Improve the Educational Performance of Students With Disabilities: A Meta-Analysis.

We're loving that Sommio has created a chunky knitted version of a weighted blanket that will look perfectly snug and cosy on any sofa. Among them are people living with chronic pain, cancer patients under treatment with chemotherapy, and seniors living in care facilities. We didn’t like: Not much to dislike although my housemate did say that the holey design could potentially make it a bit less cosy.The cover and liner feature double-stitched baffles for the beads to distribute their weight evenly across your body. A weighted blanket provides a deep constant pressure on your body that helps you relax and unwind and can help you sleep better. Our team provides detailed information on durability, sleep trials, warranties, and best practices when it comes to caring for a weighted blanket.

This makes the blanket relatively easy to clean since many competing models are not completely machine-washable. The Nappling is Bearaby’s kids blanket, providing Bearaby’s trademark knitted design in a smaller, lighter, and more affordable form. Individually stitched pockets hold micro glass beads for weight without any bulkiness and it's made from 100% cotton on the front and microfibre plush on the reverse for extra cosiness.

There is also evidence that 'deep touch pressure', or the feeling these blankets simulate, can help improve anxiety. Weighted blankets are designed to apply gentle pressure to your body when you are sleeping or curled up snugly.

The general rule of thumb is to choose a weighted blanket that is roughly 10 percent of your own body weight. Anyone who struggled with anxiety knows how hard it can be to get to sleep when your mind is racing.

The lowdown: Aeyla (previously Mela) has a good selection of weighted blankets with three covers to choose from. As you can imagine, this was stressful for both parties involved - a lack of sleep doesn't go down well in our household.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 soft outer was comfy for the sofa and in bed and it stayed in place overnight without restricting movement.
