This study from 2015 found that the weighted blanket used in the study had a ‘positive impact on sleep’, providing the participants with a ‘more comfortable, better quality, and more secure sleep.’ In fact, 21/31 of the study participants, with insomnia, fall asleep faster.

Here’s an extract from the study, which concluded that:

‘…a weighted blanket may aid in reducing insomnia through increased tactile and proprioceptive inputs, may provide an innovative, non- pharmacological approach and complementary tool to improve sleep quality.’
