The nights are getting cold but these weighted blankets will keep you cozy — without touching the thermostat

Right now all I want to do at any one moment is wrap myself up in a blanket. Which is why my Oodie weighted blanket, from $159 at Oodie, has been my go-to. It's cozy and comforting, plus it keeps me warm without having to turn the thermostat up.

Because the nights are getting cold. I've been curling up in bed (on one of the best mattresses we've tested FYI), and shivering away until my body heat has warmed up the sheets. I could turn the heating up but it's a long way until spring and fuel prices are high right now.

The best weighted blankets have become my all-round solution. They keep me warm and the Deep Touch Pressure they provide helps lower stress. I expect weighted blankets discounted in the Black Friday mattress and sleep sales but you don't have to wait to save — enjoy coziness now with these offers.
