These blankets have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their ability to promote relaxation and ease anxiety while providing a cozy and comfortable spot to rest. The following are some tips to help you choose and enjoy your weighted blanket. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consider_the_Weight_and_Size\"><\/span> Consider the Weight and Size <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> The first step in purchasing a weighted blanket is choosing the right weight for your body type. A general rule of thumb is to choose a blanket that is about 10% of your body weight. For instance, an individual who weighs around 150 pounds will want a blanket that weighs 15 pounds. However, this number can vary depending on your preference and needs. Additionally, it&#8217;s important to choose a size that is appropriate for your bed and body, ensuring that it covers your entire body without feeling too constricting or heavy. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Look_for_Quality_Construction\"><\/span> Look for Quality Construction <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> Investing in a high-quality, well-constructed weighted blanket can make all the difference in the world. Look for blankets that are filled with small beads or pellets that are sewn securely inside quilted pockets. The quilted pockets will help to distribute the weight evenly and prevent it from shifting around while you sleep. Additionally, check for any exposed seams or loose threads that can make the blanket less effective and uncomfortable. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practice_Good_Maintenance\"><\/span> Practice Good Maintenance <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> Weighted blankets require a bit more care and maintenance than traditional blankets due to their dense construction. Always refer to the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions on how to wash and dry your blanket. Most weighted blankets can be washed in a traditional washing machine, but some may require specific cleaning methods. Additionally, avoid using bleach or fabric softeners as they can damage the blanket&#8217;s material and coating, making it less effective over time. Hang dry the weighted blankets on a hanging rod, as the dryer may damage the blanket&#8217;s fibers. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Your_Weighted_Blanket_Correctly\"><\/span> Use Your Weighted Blanket Correctly <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> To get the most out of your weighted blanket, it&#8217;s important to use it correctly. Most people prefer to use their weighted blanket at night during sleep, but they can also be useful for relaxing during the day or while watching TV. Choose a comfortable spot to use your blanket, such as a bed or couch, and make sure you are not overheated or feeling too crowded. Avoid using weighted blankets on infants or young children to prevent the risk of suffocation. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span> Conclusion <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> A weighted blanket can provide much-needed comfort, warmth, and relaxation for those struggling with anxiety or insomnia. By investing in a high-quality, well-constructed blanket that suits your body and needs and practicing good maintenance, you can enjoy the benefits of your weighted blanket for years to come. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tips for Weighted Blankets If you are having trouble sleeping or feeling overly anxious, a weighted blanket might be the perfect solution.
