Weighted blankets are continuing to gain popularity these days, and for good reason. Packing an extra 5 to 25 pounds, evenly spread out using double-stitched pockets, a weighted blanket delivers that warm and cozy feeling of being snugly tucked in and away from the cold. Restless sleepers, as well as those who like getting cozy and cuddly in bed will appreciate the artificial “hugging” these blankets provide, though if you prefer to sleep cold, this might not be for you.
In the case of the blanket in question, this 15-pound blanket is quite well reviewed on Amazon, is machine washable, and is touted for its improved weight distribution on account of using smaller pockets to house the glass beads that serve as its weights. You may recall from a similar blanket we reviewed, these blankets also work wonders for those who struggle to fall asleep, especially if stress and anxiety is a factor. Generally ranging in price from around $60 to over $200, this Ackbrands weighted blanket boasts the construction of higher priced models though it’s currently priced at a much more modest $69.99 (a 65% discount).
