Magic Weighted Blanket Review + Giveaway!

 

It isn't a big secret that a large majority of people have some form of anxiety, but thankfully there are a ton of things you can do to help relieve a little of that stress. Today I am just going to be covering one of the things that can help. A weighted blanket can be a big help for a range of issues, it is meant to feel as though you are being hugged while it is on your lap or pulled up over your body, helping calm your body and mind. 

I recently received a weighted blanket for a company called Magic Weighted Blanket to try out for a review, and I love it. My son also loves it and usually steals it to use when we are all relaxing on the couch watching shows together. Magic Weighted Blanket sells blankets for both children and adults (it is not recommended for children under the age of two), they sell different weights based on how tall you are and for children it is suggested you get a blanket that is about 10% of what they weigh. These blankets are handmade in the USA,  All of the blankets have the weight evenly distributed throughout the blanket to cover your body.  

The weight inside of the blanket is designed to give you a deep pressure stimulation which helps your body produce a chemical called Oxytocin that helps reduce symptoms from depression, anxiety, autism and some physical pain. The weight of the blanket is just enough that you can feel like your body is receiving a gentle hug without feeling like you are being smothered. Sometimes I like having it just sitting across my lap, it almost feels like you have a cat or small dog sitting in your lap. With the weight being just right I think this might be helpful for people with restless leg syndrome.

This is my first time trying out a weighted blanket so I went off of their size recommendation and went with the 16lb Chenille blanket in the color Navy. The pellets they use are made from BPA-free, non-toxic, hypo-allergenic polypropylene. The blanket I received retails for $220, you might be thinking that is a lot, but this blanket feels quite durable and it comes with a life time guarantee and it is washable. Plus if you aren't happy with it within the first thirty days you can send it back for a refund.

I am 5'4" and this blanket is the perfect length for me, I can have it covered my feet all the way up to my shoulders with a little extra room. It is still summer here where I am and the blanket I selected is fuzzy, when completely covered it can get slightly warm under it so I like to poke my feet out which gives me the temperature range I want. As mentioned above my son also loves using the blanket and often ends up falling asleep on the sofa shortly before bedtime cuddled under this blanket.

As soon as you pull the blanket on, you can feel the instant comfort and relief it offers. It is nice to use when you are just laying around watching TV, taking a nap or while you are sleeping. Fair warning though using it while watching TV may cause you to take a nap even if you aren't planning on it with how comfy it will help you become. If your blanket gets a bit dirty it is completely machine washable and comes with care instructions to keep your blanket looking like new.
