Weighted blankets may help individuals feel “calmer” or “more grounded” under pressure.
Weighted blankets can be a useful tool, especially for sensory regulation, transition, and giving a sense of comfort or calm.
Safe guidelines apply: Many sources recommend a blanket weight around 10% of body weight as a starting point.
