It's available to buy in blush pink, but you can also get hold of other colours too including navy and silver grey.

So if you want a blanket that feels like it's giving you a great big warm hug, then the Brentfords Weighted Blanket may be just what you're looking for. And on a more serious note, if falling asleep and staying asleep at night has become an issue - again, a weighted blanket may be just what you need.

Weighted blankets are designed to be heavier than a normal blanket with the help of plastic, glass beads and even ball bearings. According to the Sleep Foundation: "Many people find that adding a weighted blanket to their sleep routine helps to reduce stress and promote calm. In the same way as a hug or a baby’s swaddle, the gentle pressure of a weighted blanket may help ease symptoms and improve sleep for people with insomnia, anxiety, autism and ADHD."

The blanket has received thousands of positive customer reviews and ratings, one customer said: "Bought for 11 yo with DCD and frequent restless legs. She said it's doing the job and she's sleeping much more soundly. Also bought one for my father who is elderly and struggles with sleep. He says they're the best thing to have been invented. Good investment for poor sleepers."

Another added: "From the moment I snuggled under this blanket, I felt an overwhelming sense of comfort and security. The gentle pressure distributed evenly across my body felt like a warm hug, instantly calming my senses and easing any tension from the day. The feeling of being cocooned in its embrace is simply delightful."

It's worth noting that weighted blankets aren't suitable for everyone, especially when taking the weight of it into consideration, especially when it comes to small kids and those with certain medical conditions. It's worth doing a little research on its suitability beforehand.

Weighted blankets are also available to buy from Matalan where you can pick up Barbie or Frozen options which are great for the kids, they can also be found for almost half the price at The Range.
