Weighted blankets are significantly different from the blankets that people usually buy. They can be used as a therapeutic agent. Weighted blankets are known to improve mood, reduce stress, and promote restful sleep.

I absolutely agree with you about that. I have recently purchased a weighted blanket for myself. I heard some positive things about them, but I’ve got it only for decorative purposes. I have been looking for chunky knit throws and blankets and ran into this store sommio.co.uk. I ordered that blanket because it looks stylish, and I got it as a throw for my sofa. But after work, I love to come back and cover myself with this blanket. I noticed that I easily fall asleep on a couch, and I sleep the whole night without waking up. Later, I found out that this blanket has some therapeutical features too.

Probably, I should try it

Thanks, but I don't think a regular blanket won't relieve my stress. I was in grief, I lost an old friend, my dog Josh. I have only good memories associated with this dog and I need time to cope with stress. I already found a blog about How to Deal with Complicated Grief ,my situation is just described here and I begin to understand that you should not be sad for a long time over the loss because this is the cycle of our life.
