Weighted Blankets

The Best Weighted Blankets in Las Vegas

Weighted blankets are heavier than regular blankets and help to reduce stress by applying gentle pressure across the body. The result is a calming, swaddling feeling that encourages a peaceful night of sleep.

When it comes to finding an effective weighted blanket, it’s important to go with a reputable brand that uses high-quality materials. At Best Mattress, we offer some of the best weighted blankets on the market. Each one is designed to reduce stress, calm the body, and improve your overall sleep. Here’s a more in-depth look at our products.

Zensory Adult Weighted Blanket

The luxurious Zensory Adult Weighted Blanket conforms to your body, providing a comforting feeling designed to improve sleep. The contoured compression helps soothe your pressure points, while the weighted feeling prevents restless tossing and turning.

This model features non-porous, hypoallergenic glass beads that are resistant to moisture, allergens, and other irritants. It also employs a mini pocket construction that helps evenly distribute weight across the body, promoting a calming sensation while reducing noise. Finally, it offers a color-match design that fits seamlessly with our soft, velvet-fleeced Zensory duvet cover.

This blanket promotes good sleep by adapting to your ideal “weighted wellness,” which is between 10-12% of your body weight. It is 48″ x 72″ in size and comes in both 15 and 20lb options.

PureCare Kids Zensory 7lb Weighted Blanket & Duvet

The balanced pressure, soft material, and antimicrobial features make the PureCare model one of the best weighted blankets for kids. Its contoured compression spreads evenly across the body and gently encourages pressure points, emulating the feeling of a warm hug. The result is a soft, relaxing sensation that reduces stress and prevents tossing and turning.

Like the Zensory Adult Weighted Blanket, the PureCare model comes with a mini pocket construction that promotes balance and hypoallergenic glass beads that protect against irritants. PureCare treats their blankets with antimicrobial silver chloride that fights bacteria, mold, and mildew that might otherwise cause stains and odors.

This blanket comes with a soft, velveted fleece cover that’s soft to the touch and easily washable. The blanket itself is 41″x60″ in size, 7lbs in weight, and is available in both dark gray and teal. PureCare recommends the blanket for kids between 60–90 lbs.

Health Benefits of Weighted Blankets

Weighted blankets do more than provide comfort—they can relax the mind and soothe conditions such as anxiety and sensory overload. Here are some of the health benefits of weighted blankets.

Relaxed Nerves

According to Penn Medicine, 40 million Americans suffer from anxiety, which disrupts sleep. Conditions like anxiety, high heart rate, and hyperactivity are often the result of an overactive nervous system. By spreading an even amount of pressure over the body, weighted blankets can send a signal to the nervous system that tells it to calm down and let you sleep.

Improved Mood

The deep pressure stimulation from weighted blankets increased levels of serotonin, a hormone that encourages happiness and improves overall mood. The applied pressure can also limit cortisol (which causes stress) and increase melatonin (which helps with sleep).

Reduced Stress

37% of adults in the U.S. report feeling tired due to stress. Concerns over school, work, and our day-to-day lives often prevent us from falling asleep, leaving us tired and cranky the next morning. The ensuing fatigue can cause more worry, which leads to a negative cycle of stress and poor sleep. Through even compression, weighted blankets can ease your heart rate and breathing patterns to reduce anxiety and improve the quality of sleep.

Improved Focus

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are easily stimulated or distracted by their environments. This difficulty with concentration doesn’t just go away at night—many children with autism report having chronic sleep conditions. The pressure of a weighted blanket reduces fidgeting and over-simulation, encouraging children to focus on sleep and to relax.

Are Weighted Blankets Safe?

Weighted blankets are safe for most adults, as well as children that are above the age of 2 and weigh more than 60 lbs. However, you should refrain from using one if you:

• Have a respiratory, circulatory, or temperature regulation problem
• Have recently been hospitalized
• Are pregnant
• Cannot move the blanket on your own

For safety purposes, a weighted blanket should never go over your head. If you are uncertain whether you can securely use a weighted blanket, consult your doctor.
