Weighted Blanket: Sleep Support

A weighted blanket is a simple yet effective tool for promoting better sleep, relaxation, and focus, making it a great addition to an ADHD-friendly routine. Designed to provide gentle, evenly distributed pressure, a weighted blanket creates a calming effect that can help reduce restlessness, nighttime tossing and turning, and sensory overload. Often described as feeling like a soothing hug, this deep-pressure stimulation can support better sleep quality, reduced anxiety, and improved focus for individuals with ADHD, sensory sensitivities, and sleep difficulties.

How a Weighted Blanket Supports ADHD Management

  • Promotes Restful Sleep – The gentle pressure can help signal the body to relax, making it easier to fall and stay asleep, which is especially beneficial for those with ADHD-related sleep struggles.

  • Reduces Anxiety & Stress – The deep-touch pressure stimulation mimics a comforting embrace, which may help lower cortisol (stress hormone) levels and encourage relaxation.

  • Supports Focus & Calm – Weighted blankets can also be used during the day as a sensory tool for calming overstimulation, reducing fidgeting, and improving focus while working, reading, or unwinding.

  • Designed for Comfort & Durability – Made with all-natural materials like cotton fabric and an irritant-free filling, this blanket is gentle on the skin and ideal for those with sensitivities. The reinforced stitching and evenly distributed weight ensure lasting comfort without shifting or leaking beads.

  • Easy to Choose & Maintain – Select a blanket that’s about 10% of your body weight for optimal comfort. Machine washable and compatible with duvet covers to protect and extend its lifespan.

Whether you’re looking for a better night’s sleep, a calming sensory tool, or a way to ease ADHD-related restlessness, a weighted blanket is a great addition to any routine.
