Having purchased a weighted blanket...
I found it does decrease my tossing and turning at night, which, I surmise, helps my body determine it is time to shut down and go to sleep faster.
It is recommended you do not buy one that is more than a fifth of your body weight. I'm a big guy so I bought the closest I could find, but some smaller folks have tried the one I bought and after a few minutes they say they feel like they cannot breathe.
Also, it is a substantial blanket so, as it has gotten warmer, I have had to ditch it.
Two cents.
