How Weighted Blankets Help With Anxiety & Sleep

How Weighted Blankets Help With Anxiety and Sleep?

Struggling with anxiety, restlessness, or insomnia at night?

You're not alone — and science shows that weighted blankets may help.

These calming blankets use a method called Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS) — gentle, evenly distributed weight that mimics a hug. This physical touch helps:

• Lower cortisol (stress hormone)
• Boost serotonin (the “feel-good” chemical)
• Increase melatonin (your body’s sleep hormone)

Science-Backed Sleep Support

Clinical studies suggest that weighted blankets improve sleep quality and reduce symptoms of:

• Generalized anxiety
• ADHD
• PTSD
• Insomnia

Why Blanket & Bloom Feels Different?

Most weighted blankets rely on glass beads, which can feel bulky, uneven, and noisy.
At Blanket & Bloom, we do things differently:

•  100% breathable natural cotton
•  No glass beads – no noise or shifting
•  Chunky knit design that feels like a calming embrace
