I never used to trust a weighted blanket. I think it's because I've suffered from sleep paralysis, that awful inability to move or speak as you pass between wakefulness and sleep. In those moments, I tend to feel like I'm struggling under a heavy burden. I guess I worried that a weighted blanket would only exacerbate the issue.
Yet these days, I'm a total weighted blanket convert. As a sleep writer, I've been lucky enough to sample some of the world's best weighted blankets, which are optimized to offer the ideal weight per square foot of material.
