4 Ways To Find Comfort And Rest With Your Weighted Blanket
If you received a weighted blanket for Christmas, we hope you slept like a baby last night! Many of you have suffered restless sleep for years!
Honestly, it may take a few nights to get used to the weight and change old patterns. We recommend you try sleeping with your blanket for at least a week and in a few different ways to see how your body is best comforted.
Here's how:
1. Place the weighted blanket on top of your comforter, covering your whole body from chest to toes.
2. Use the weighted blanket on top of your sheet, with no comforter.
3. Place the weighted blanket on only the LOWER half of your body.
4. Place the weighted blanket on only the UPPER half of your body.
If you have a feeling of “stuffiness” with the blanket on you, take a deep breath and remind yourself, "I can remove this blanket at any time." Some people find it takes several nights to adjust to the weight.
We'd love to hear how you position your blanket to find the most comfort.
Be Comforted,
Donna Durham, MMFT

when I use my blanket I get too hot,,i have tried it all the ways you have stated and i really do not like the blanket so far and I bought it 6 months ago. Right now it is back in the bag it came in and in my closet. What else can I try maybe using it with no sheet under it or over it! HELP

My daughter wanted one for Christmas, well she got it, and is on a trip, so I’ve been using it for a week now. I love it and it covers me from head to toe. I sleep much deeper and no flip flopping and if I get up to go to bathroom I go right back to sleep, not normal for me, so it really works. It’s a true blessing for me. I’m 62 and have had trouble sleeping since I was 15 so thanks to all the wonderful people that make these amazing blankets.
