Have the best sleep of your life with a Brentfords Weighted Blanket

It can be difficult for some people to get a good night sleep.

It could be down to you being a naturally light sleeper, having insomnia, or even stress can result in you not getting the rest you need. But there is a new trend that could elevate your comfort and help you to get a proper kip.

Sleeping with a weighted blanket could open up a whole new world of calm for you. Amazon has reduced the price of the Brentfords 8kg Weighted Blanket for Adults in pink, from £30.99 to £17.99. A 4kg version is available for £17.08, and you can also get it in grey for £28.99 or black for £23.79.

A heavy blanket can increase your serotonin and melatonin production by providing what is known as deep touch pressure therapy. This will increase sleepiness, help calm and relax you, and decrease the stress hormone cortisol. By helping to decrease feelings of anxiety and improve your mood, you should find it easier to drift off.

A word of warning though, some people may find the feeling of being weighed down a little claustrophobic. It’s recommended that you opt for one that amounts to between 7 and 12% of your body weight, so do pick one that’s weight-appropriate for you.
