A weighted blanket applies steady, even pressure across the body, which some people find calming at bedtime in a way a normal duvet is not. The two things to get right are weight, which should match your body rather than a preference, and heat, because adding a heavy layer to a warm sleeper makes the night worse.

The Deep Dive
Who it works for
Deep pressure settles some people noticeably and does nothing for others, and there is no way to tell which you are without trying. It tends to help most at the transition into sleep rather than through the night, which is why people describe it as making bedtime feel calmer rather than making the night longer.
The heat problem, stated plainly
A weighted blanket is mass and insulation. If you already run hot, it is working against the core-temperature drop that sleep depends on. Get the room into the 60–67°F range first; if you still overheat, this is not the right purchase.
Weight and safety
Around ten per cent of body weight is the working rule. Beyond that it stops being pressure and starts being restriction, and turning over becomes an effort that wakes you. It should also never be used by anyone who could not remove it unaided.

Key Features
Even pressure
The mechanism people respond to
Steady distributed weight is calming for a lot of people at the point of settling down, which is when it matters.
Weight to body
Roughly ten per cent
The size that works is a function of your body, not of how heavy you would like it to feel.
Glass bead fill
Denser, less bulky
Beads add weight without the loft that would make the blanket hotter than it needs to be.
Try before you spend more
The value entry point
Response to deep pressure is individual. This is a sensible way to find out which sort of person you are.
Frequently asked questions
What weight should I choose?
The usual guidance is around ten per cent of body weight. Too light and you get nothing; too heavy and it feels restrictive rather than calming, and it becomes hard to turn over.
Do weighted blankets actually help?
Many people find deep pressure settling at bedtime, and it is a low-risk thing to try. It is not a treatment for insomnia, and if you are already too warm at night it will make that worse.
Will it make me too hot?
Possibly. It is an additional layer with mass, and mass holds heat. If overheating is already your problem, fix the room temperature first and treat a weighted blanket with caution.
Is it safe for everyone?
It should not be used by anyone who cannot easily remove it themselves, and that includes small children. If you have a respiratory or circulatory condition, ask a doctor before adding weight.
