Troubled sleepers have probably heard of weighted blankets as an unlikely cure for insomnia, but one of these bad boys will typically set you back more than $100 (sometimes more than $200). That’s why this Amazon deal on a highly-rated weighted blanket isn’t a snoozer.

These heavier-than-usual blankets are, well, just what they sound like: blankets that weight more than your average bedding. Most weighted blankets have pellets sewn into pockets of the lining to give them their bulk, usually between 10 and 25 pounds. The blanket’s pressure is evenly distributed across your body, which some research suggests can provide anxiety and stress relief for those with sleep problems.

The feeling of a weighted blanket is supposed to mimic the pressure of being hugged or held, which is why weighted blankets have been used for years in occupational therapy, particularly for kids with autism. But recently these sleep accessories have hit the mainstream as a way for sleep-deprived folks to grab some shut-eye. Our writer even once accidentally ordered a weighted blanket on Amazon and swears it was the best mistake she’s ever made.

Right now, you can grab the Quility Premium Adult Weighted Blanket with a removable cover for $10- to $20-off this Prime Day.
