Therapeutic blankets, often referred to as weighted blankets, are specially designed to provide gentle pressure across the body. This pressure can create a calming effect, similar to a hug, which may help reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality. They are commonly used by individuals with conditions such as autism, ADHD, and anxiety disorders. These blankets come in various weights and sizes, allowing users to choose one that best suits their needs. Typically filled with materials like glass beads or plastic pellets, therapeutic blankets are made from soft fabrics to enhance comfort. They can be used during sleep or relaxation to promote a sense of security and well-being.
