Evidence that weighted blankets are useful in end of life care

Hi,

I am a new person to this marvelous gift 🎁 Mayo provides. For me the mere thought of being enveloped by a warm weighted blanket. My first thought is the sensation must be like being in the womb of our mothers. Namaste 🙏🏻❤️❤️

I am 71. I have used a weighted blanket for over two years as a social worker suggested they are good for anxiety attacks. And it works for me! It is a marvelous gift and recently I bought one for my 11-year-old granddaughter who has trouble falling asleep. It is great at nighttime, and I fall asleep like a baby! I am not fragile or frail so that is a good question.
