Is nighttime anxiety preventing you from getting the recommended hours of sleep? Do you feel tired or moody all day due to lack of proper sleep? While brushing up your sleep hygiene practice is key, investing in a weighted blanket like the Casper Weighted Blanket now up to 50% off at Casper can help ease stress and anxiety through pressure therapy. This Casper sale drops the price of a 15lbs blanket from $179 to $89.50, which is a fantastic saving.

The best weighted blankets deliver a deep-touch pressure sensation using glass beads or similar weighty material to mimic a full-body hug. This calms you down, helping your mind and body to rest. In fact, recent studies have even found that weighted blankets can help insomnia in adults. So getting your bedding right can be as important as investing in the best mattress for your sleep needs.

As you can imagine, because of the high-quality materials, weighted blankets often come with a high price tag. But the Presidents’ Day bedding sales mean there are some great discounts currently live, and we're seeing some of the lowest prices of the year. For this reason, we've rounded up the three best weighted blanket deals that we recommend for improving sleep...
