Treating yourself to the best weighted blankets in 2024 could make a huge difference to your mental health; they can relieve stress, ease anxiety and improve the quality of your sleep. Weighted blankets are just what they sound like: they're blankets with weights sewn into them (usually small glass beads) in order to provide a gentle even pressure across the body. There are other features to look out for, though, and in this article, we've picked out the options that are worth their weight in gold.

Weighted blankets were originally used as a medical aid, but they've come to prominence in recent years as a solution for stress and insomnia. The light pressure they provide can be soothing, like a full-body hug, which can aid relaxation and reduce restlessness.

If you shop around, you'll find that many of the brands behind the best mattresses have their own weighted blankets that can be used as an all-round relaxation aid. Beyond helping with stress and sleep problems, they can also be used as a substitute for one of the best duvets, or as an occasional replacement for a regular blanket. Find out more in our guide: what is a weighted blanket and how do they work?

But if you've already done your research and concluded that one of the best weighted blankets would be a good fit for you, we're here to help you pick the perfect option. Read on to see a selection of weighted blankets, in all manner of fabrics and at various price points, and you're certain to find just the thing you're looking for.
