Rhonda James, a banker in South Carolina, initially skeptical of her husband's purchase of a weighted blanket, found herself quickly soothed by its comforting hug-like embrace.
Dr. Neal Walia, a sleep medicine expert, notes that although the scientific research on weighted blankets is limited, their evenly distributed weight may calm the brain's fight-or-flight response.
Experts recommend that adults choose a weighted blanket that is approximately 10% of their body weight to achieve optimal comfort and benefit.
While weighted blankets can be beneficial, they are not recommended for babies or toddlers due to concerns around movement and breathing.
