There’s not much we wouldn’t do to guarantee a good night's sleep. We’ve flirted with the no caffeine after lunch rule, installed blackout blinds, listened to whale calls and—although we haven’t been able to give up our evening phone scroll (yet)—we’ve committed to viewing our Instagram feed through a frustratingly unaesthetic blue light filter.
However, there comes a point in time, and in every sleep-deprived state, where you need to call for backup and in our case, that’s a weighted blanket—preferably one of Calming Blanket’s ultra-soft bed covers.
If you haven't heard of them, weighted blankets are heavy blankets typically filled with weighted glass beads that work to calm the nervous system by providing pressure touch to the body—essentially mimicking the feel of a firm, comforting hug. Traditionally used in therapeutic settings to assist with sensory processing disorders, weighted blankets claim to do everything from easing anxiety, reducing restlessness and promoting a feeling of calm and relaxation, therefore creating the perfect environment for a good night’s sleep.
Calming Blanket’s cushiony bed covers are some of the best—there’s a reason they’ve got more five-star reviews than any other brand out there. Their blankets come in several variations—there’s a plush, minky blanket for cold, winter nights, a breathable bamboo blanket for balmy summers, and a hand-woven cotton-polyester blanket for those who want a blanket that looks as good as it feels.
If you can’t decide, your best bet is to get one of their All Seasons Bundles, which come with both a bamboo and a minky blanket, so you’re covered all year. Right now, you can get up to 50% off almost their entire range for Mother's Day, so now’s the time to shop up big.
