I'm having trouble sleeping at night. Do weighted blankets really help?<|im_end|>

Yes, weighted blankets can be helpful for some people. The added weight provides a calming, gentle pressure that can promote relaxation and improve sleep quality.<|im_end|>

That sounds interesting. What kind of weight is usually in these blankets?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Weighted blankets typically have weights ranging from 5 to 25 pounds, with the most common being around 15-20 pounds. The ideal weight depends on your personal preference and body weight.<|im_end|>

Okay, I think I'll try one. Are there any specific materials I should look for?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Look for a weighted blanket made from breathable, soft materials like cotton, bamboo, or a cotton-poly blend. These materials will help keep you cool and comfortable while you sleep.<|im_end|>
