When it comes to upgrading sleep experiences, very few things are as underrated as a good blanket. But not all blankets are the same, especially when the options are between a cooling blanket and a weighted blanket. While both serve the purpose of elevating your sleep, they both serve different purposes and have unique benefits. 

So how do you know which is better? Are you looking for cool summer nights or something that provides you comfort and eases your anxiety? Let's take a step forward and break down the pros and cons of both blankets.

What is a cooling blanket?

A cooling blanket is designed to help regulate body temperature during sleep. It’s made with breathable fabric and materials that suck out moisture, making these blankets suitable for hot sleepers and catering to the humid and hot climate conditions of Pakistan.  

Some cooling blankets also use microfiber infused with cooling gel, which wicks away body heat and allows for improved air circulation and temperature regulation during the night.

Pros of a cooling blanket

Temperature Regulation

During summer, when air ventilation is poor and the room feels stuffy, it keeps your body cool

Lightweight and breathable

It doesn’t trap body heat and feels airy on the skin which makes it ideal for people who hate the feeling of suffocation or heavy bedding.

Reduces night sweats

It helps manage humidity and prevents overheating which leads to excessive heating and sweating

Cons of a cooling blanket

Not ideal for winters

As the name suggests, these blankets are made for cooling and not insulating so it’ll make it difficult to feel warm during the winters. Additional layers of blankets would be required to feel warm.

No added pressure

While these blankets are effective in providing a cooling sensation, some individuals prefer the therapeutic and calming pressure offered by traditional blankets for a sense of comfort and security; cooling blankets typically do not provide this experiential quality.

What is a weighted blanket?

A weighted blanket is filled with materials like glass beads and plastic pellets, along with other dense fillers to add that extra weight. This added weight provides the feeling of deep pressure stimulation (DPS) which gives the feeling or sensation of being hugged, which helps the body relax.

Weighted blankets are commonly used to reduce anxiety, calm the nervous system, and improve sleep for people with insomnia or stress

Pros of a weighted blanket

Calming effect

The pressure helps reduce cortisol levels, which are the stress hormones, and increases serotonin and melatonin, which are the natural chemicals of the body that allow sleep.

Improves sleep quality 

Weighted blankets reduce anxiety and help you sleep faster and longer.

Cons of a weighted blanket 

Weighted blankets are not suitable for everyone. Infants and young children, individuals with certain respiratory or circulatory issues, those with mobility limitations, and people with claustrophobia or certain medical conditions should avoid using them.

Combining Both? Yes, You Can!

Some people choose to use both a light cooling blanket during summer and a weighted blanket in colder months or whenever extra comfort is needed. There are even cooling weighted blankets available that merge the benefits of both: temperature regulation and calming pressure.

If you're unsure where to start, begin with a cooling blanket, especially in Pakistan’s intense summer heat. Then explore a weighted option if sleep anxiety or restlessness is affecting your routine.
