Have you ever found yourself having a hard time sleeping at night? There were times when I had this problem and it would take me forever to fall asleep. Luckily I haven’t been having this problem lately, but my youngest is the one who usually has a hard time falling asleep at night. She’s one who will be up for a while before she can finally fall asleep. I’ve never really found a good solution to help her sleep at night, except for recently. She has started using a weighted blanket, and wow, what a difference this can make.
I have the Sonno Zona weighted blanket that my entire family loves. Everyone has been using this blanket, but my youngest especially loves it. She loves the color of it, which is tide, or more of a teal color. That is her favorite color as well as mine, so I knew that was the color we had to go with. It’s so extremely soft too! We absolutely love it!
About Sonno Zona
Sonno Zona weighted blankets help improve relaxation and promote a calmer sleep. Our blankets have been used to improve relaxation for patients with conditions like: Sensory processing disorder (SPD), autism, stress, anxiety, insomnia, adhd, and chronic pain. The Sonno Zona weighted blanket can be part of your healthy lifestyle to ensure true relaxation and a good night’s sleep.
It’s actually two blankets in one in a way because you have to put them together to make the one blanket. You put the weighted blanket part in the softer colorful blanket to make it a whole blanket. We are all very obsessed with this blanket and we use it all the time. When we sit down as a family to watch a movie, we always share the blanket. I know we’ll be getting more of these so that each one of us can have our very own!
What Is The Right Weighted Blanket For You
In order to get the right blanket for you, you should follow the guide above. They have three different weighted blanket weights, so make sure to go by your weight. I think it’s important to make sure you get the right fit for you. Since I’m in the range of 95-135 lbs, I went with the 10 lbs for the weighted blanket. Luckily I’m able to share this blanket with my daughters too. Even though my husband falls in the category of using the 20lb blanket, he still uses this one and loves it. I’m sure in the near future we will be getting him a blanket too!
You can see the gray area of where the weighted blanket actually is. This gray blanket only is the actual weighted blanket, as the teal colored one is just a very nice soft blanket. Of course the two of them go together to make the one weighted blanket. They are amazing both together or separate. My kids like it either way!
You can see the actually weighted blanket inside. That’s because there is a zipper on the softer piece where the weighted blanket will sit inside. There are ties on both blankets so that you can tie them together to make them one. It was very simple to put them together to form the blanket. My youngest and I tied those up to make it so she could use it.
You can see how much we all love laying with this blanket while we’re on the couch. Here you’ll see my youngest daughter Tesla on the couch watching t.v. with our weighted blanket. Tesla hasn’t been feeling the greatest lately, and this blanket has been a real help for her.
Tesla loves to sleep with it at night. She recently started using it, and I think it’s helped her sleep so much better at night. With her being sick lately, it’s been a great comfort blanket for her.

- Sensory processing disorder
- Autism
- PTSD
- Anxiety
- Chronic stress
- Chronic pain
- Insomnia
- OCD
- And more…
Dealing With Anxiety
Of course anyone can benefit from this blanket. I haven’t been diagnosed with anything, but I am almost positive I have anxiety. I’ve never really thought about going to the doctor to talk to them about it because I just thought I always had it and there wasn’t much to do about it. Ever since I was little, I had been a shy kid. Now growing up, I’m not as bad and I don’t have as hard of a time talking to others. I think anxiety has always been a part of me because of me being shy since being so little. I would hate being in crowds and around so many people.
Some days I still feel like that. I even have a very hard time driving in certain areas because I get so anxious and I start to freak myself out because I do not like driving in certain areas, mainly those that are very busy with vehicles, mainly the city area or out on the freeway. That can be tough for me, but I’ve been learning to slowly get better at that. I just have to work slowly at it and start to adjust to it.
This weighted blanket has been such a life saver for many of my family members. It is so comforting when you can just sit down and relax with the blanket. I have found that we have all seemed to be more calm while we’re using the blanket.
If you don’t already own a weighted blanket, I would highly recommend one from Sonno Zona. These blankets have been so helpful. If you’re looking to get a better nights sleep or maybe just need a comforting blanket, this would be the one to get. It’s amazing how well these blankets really do work. My family is already excited to get more so that we can all have our very own weighted blanket.
I’ve heard of weighted blankets but have never tried one. I didn’t realize these blankets had such great benefits.
There are many great benefits. They’re such great blankets.
I’ve heard such great things about weighted blankets. I might have to get one. I think my son would like it. He has autism, so this could help when he gets overwhelmed.
I bet he would really love it!
I’ve never had a blanket like this before, but I kind of like having a blanket on even in the summer so maybe I would like it. I might just have to get one and try it out.

Yes, definitely. They are great!
I have been contemplating getting one for my hubby. He has anxiety and I think this would help him. However, it might be too hot for him to use in the summer because he sweats super easily!
In my opinion, I think these still keep you cool in summer. That has been the case for me anyways.
I would love to try one on myself. These blankets are so comfy and have a great benefit, too.
Yes, they certainly do.
