When I first came across Oodie's weighted blanket , I was intrigued to see if it really would take my sleep 'to the next level' and provide warmth during cold autumn and winter nights. A part of me was reluctant to give it a try, as I did wonder if it would be slightly claustrophobic, however now that I've been using it nightly for over a week, I can confidently say I wish I'd bought it sooner. Weighted blankets use the scientific principles behind deep pressure stimulation to promote deeper, more restful sleep.

The ultra-soft blanket costs £95 and is available in several colours and three weights - 4.5kg, 6.
8kg and 9kg. The weight is dispersed evenly throughout the blanket, so you get even distribution across your body.
