Weighted Blankets & Fibromyalgia: 5 Resources
Have you ever considered using a weighted blanket for your fibromyalgia? Lately, I’ve been wondering if a weighted blanket might help me sleep better at night with my fibromyalgia. So I went to Google and started reading about them. It’s easy to find many articles from websites that are selling these blankets. But finding actual reviews, or studies was more challenging. I’ve collected the best of the articles I’ve read, and am sharing them with you.
Fibro & Weighted Blanket Articles:
The first article is:
The second one is:
Third, is this article from the National Pain Report website.
General Buying Information
Gentle Weight has many articles about the use of weighted blankets for different issues. It includes lots of info on how to chose which one is right for you. It also has reviews of weighted products including blankets, vests, lap pads, and wraps. This website is an Amazon affiliate for weighted blankets. They don’t sell these products themselves.
Finally, the last article is really helpful for figuring out if a weighted blanket would work for you. The Assessment Quiz at the end of the article doesn’t work, though. I would check carefully before ordering anything from Lora’s Weighted Blankets as many of their links don’t work.
Wrap Up
I am going to try some of the suggestions in the last article to see if a weighted blanket will help me sleep better with my fibromyalgia. Currently, I cannot afford one. Since they are pricey, figuring out if you really like heavy blankets is important before ordering.
I hope this post helped answer some of your questions about weighted blankets.
