What it’s for
- Comfort and selected sleep-related symptoms
A heavier-than-usual blanket designed to provide distributed pressure.
Purpose, evidence and practical considerations.
A trial in adults with psychiatric disorders reported improved insomnia symptoms. Results do not establish the best weight for everyone or a benefit from every brand.
Confidence: weak
The user must be able to remove it independently. Avoid use where weight or heat could compromise breathing or movement, and do not apply adult routines to infants or young children.
Pressure may influence perceived comfort and arousal. The exact mechanism and a universally effective weight are not established.
How people use it, with their schedules, context and original sources.
