6 Weighted Blankets Perfect for Sleep and Relaxation

If you struggle to fall asleep at night (or stay asleep), a weighted blanket may be exactly what you need. Along with a better night’s sleep, they help with relaxation, managing anxiety and regulating body temperature. Whether you’re looking for something light and breathable or heavy and comforting, we’ve got you covered—literally.

1. Heirloom Linens’ Soothe Weighted Blanket 

This weighted blanket is meant to help soothe you by applying deep pressure that’s intended to relax your neurotransmitters (sounds nice, hey?). Heirloom Linens is a Victoria-based company that makes weighted blankets out of 100% cotton material. They come in four different weight options (7lbs, 10lbs, 15lbs, 20lbs) and two colours (grey or marine). Available for at-home delivery or pick-up in-store. From $135, heirloomlinens.com

2. Silk and Snow’s Hand-Knit Weighted Blanket

Hand woven with natural cotton, this blanket is sure to provide you with some stress-free snooze time. It comes in nine different colours (this terracotta is gorgeous) and has multiple weight options: 8lbs, 12lbs, 15lbs, 20lbs and 25lbs. There’s also two types of knits to chose between—classic or natural—depending on the look you’re going for. Free shipping is available to all provinces in Canada. From $200, silkandsnow.com

3. Logan and Cove’s Classic Weighted Blanket

This blanket uses high-density glass-granules and temperature-regulating fabric to keep you sleeping comfortably. It was designed for relaxation and calmness and the company was founded in Edmonton by goodmorning.com (all things bed), where the blanket is also available.

4. Bearaby’s Cotton Napper

This soft and breathable blanket is made from 100% long-staple cotton farmed in India and uses 90% less water than typical farming methods.

5. Hush’s Iced 2.0 Cooling Weighted Blanket

It’s ideal for anyone who struggles with night sweats, anxiety and stress and it comes in four different sizes and two different weights (15lbs and 20lbs). Depending on your vibe–or how often you eat in bed–you can choose between white or grey. They even offer a quiz on their site to help match you to a blanket that will best suit your needs. Free Canada-wide shipping is available. From $299, hush.ca and shop.wellwise.ca
