Weighted blankets have become a go-to for people trying to get better sleep, manage their stress levels or just make their bedrooms cosier.
With luxurious finishes, they can be pricey (some cost over £200) so the Black Friday sales are the perfect time to get one for less. But you'll have to act fast as some blankets are already out of stock and deals are set to end at midnight (2 December).
The best weighted blanket deal to shop now
The Oodie is currently offering a huge 50% off its best-selling weighted blanket, which scored a nearly faultless 98/100 in the Good Housekeeping Institute tests. It's almost out of stock and now only available in one size, so be quick if you want to get your hands on it.
Panellists noted the blanket's “velvety-soft feel” and “perfect weight distribution”, as well as its warmth, barely noticeable beads and lack of rustling when moved. It was even dubbed a "game-changer" by one happy tester.
What are the benefits of a weighted blanket?
Research has shown that using a weighted blanket at night may help to improve sleep by using ‘deep pressure stimulation'. This sensation (much like a hug) works to reduce the stress hormone, cortisol, to help us get a better night's rest.
If sleep isn't a problem for you, you may prefer to enjoy the soothing benefits of a weighted blanket while you unwind on your sofa — and luckily, there are a range of colours and styles available to match your taste or decor, including collaborations with Disney on Inside Out 2 and The Mandalorian designs, ideal for gifting.
