The purpose of weighted blankets is to provide gentle, even pressure across the body — a sensation known as deep pressure stimulation (DPS). This can have various therapeutic effects, particularly in supporting mental and physical well-being. Here are the main purposes and benefits:

1️⃣ Promote relaxation and calm

The deep pressure can help reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol and increase production of serotonin (mood stabilizer) and melatonin (sleep hormone).

This can create a sense of security, similar to a firm hug.

2️⃣ Improve sleep quality

Weighted blankets are often used to help people fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

They can be helpful for those with insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns.

3️⃣ Ease anxiety and stress

The calming effect of deep pressure may reduce symptoms of anxiety, especially in people with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) or stress-related conditions.

4️⃣ Support sensory processing

Originally used in occupational therapy, weighted blankets can help individuals (including children) with sensory processing disorders, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), or ADHD feel more grounded and focused.

5️⃣ Relieve restlessness

They may reduce nighttime movements and fidgeting, helping people with conditions like restless leg syndrome (RLS).
