A promising review: "I have to admit I have been wanting one of these for a long time so when this came on offer I snapped it up and I'm so glad I did. It helps me sleep and makes me feel less anxious. I would not be without it now."

If you have the budget, this weighted blanket is flawless. It's made using anti-rustle glass quartz pellets, which move around silently and mould to your body shape. It's extremely plush and cosy, too.

A promising review: "The blanket is great quality. My sleep has improved already! The cool surface is perfect for those with night hot flashes. I have also noticed a real improvement with restless legs overnight. Having been sceptical about this blanket and its ability to help sleep. I'm really impressed."

Cold to the touch, this silky smooth bamboo weighted blanket is ideal if you're prone to getting hot in the night. The 7-layer system design adapts to the curve of your body for optimal comfort and the 4.7 x 4.7-inch smaller sections allow for more equitable weight distribution.

A promising review: "Seemed like a lot of money for a blanket, but I hate hot disturbed sleep in summer heatwaves and had seen loads of Facebook adverts for bamboo weighted blankets...I did a bunch of research and this one consistently scored highly in reviews...and so far have had two glorious obscenely long periods of sleep at the tail end of this heatwave in the UK. The blanket stays cool when not in contact with your body, so move an arm or a leg and blessed coolness is there waiting. The weight keeps my twitchy feet still and whereas I usually turn over in my sleep about a dozen times, with this on, it's maybe twice. I don’t really know because I’m sleeping so deeply. "

A plush weighted blanket that will help you drift off quicker than quicksand. Its ultra-soft, breathable MicroCool™ fleece maximises its cosiness and is the perfect throw blanket size for both kids and adults.

A promising review: "I have anxiety and I'm a really poor sleeper... my sleep was getting worse and I was becoming desperate. Lack of sleep was really impacting my life. I ordered this on Thursday afternoon and it was here by Saturday morning. First two nights I wasn't sure. I have gotten used to the sensation of the weight. I now would not be without it. The improvement in my sleep is remarkable. I can't believe how much better I feel as a result of this blanket. It really is a superb product I can't imagine ever being without it. Excellent customer service as well."

For anyone who has a problem falling asleep, this huge weighted blanket brings breathable warmth to help you feel well-rested.

A promising review: "I am an insomniac for years now who struggles to fall asleep and to stay asleep, whatever I would try, wouldn't help unless it's sleeping pills. So I ordered this blanket 8kg, (my weight is approximately 68kg) for myself and my best friend who was recently starting to complain about bad nights too. I don't know what kind of magic it is, but we both actually have started to sleep well, I sleep through the night without waking up not even once!!"

A promising review: "Having been toying with purchasing this for a while I finally took the plunge and purchased at the weekend. I'm so pleased I did! I've had a couple of brilliant nights' sleep and I've just got home from a long hard day at work and pulled the blanket over me - I'm feeling instantly relaxed! I would definitely recommend it."

A promising review: "My grandson has ADHD and is medicated to sleep which doesn’t always work. I’m so pleased with the weighted blanket, since having it I have had no issues with sleeping, he goes to sleep within 40 minutes and will now sleep for 9-plus hours. More importantly, he is no longer taking sleep medication. Wish I brought one years ago. Fantastic product."
