Let's face, whether you're hungover, sick, or just felling a bit meh, there are definitely times when we could all do with a cuddle.

Of course, in these times of need, many of us will turn to a partner, friend or even a pet for comfort – but what happens when there's no one there to hold you?

Well, that's where this nifty little blanket comes in handy.

 

Did you sleep well? If you're ready to fall asleep quicker and stay asleep longer, maybe it's time to try a weighted blanket.

Designed by Weighted Comforts, the stylish blankets are said to help with stress, anxiety and sleep deprivation by replicating the feeling of being spooned.

That's right. All the comfort of being held – just without an actual person.

The blankets are made with a dense inner layer, designed to be approximately 10 per cent of your body weight in an effort to simulate the sensation that someone is lying beside you.

This Weighted Blanket from @weightingcomforts does that for me." .

Writing on Instgram, Weighting Comforts explained how the blankets can be used to combat anxiety.

“Our weighted blankets are designed to improve your sleep and reduce your anxiety for year-round comfort.”

“Many people experience a deeper and more restful sleep on the first night. Others find the blanket’s weight restrictive at first, but over several nights grow to love the effect of the weight.”

The blankets come is a variety of sleek designs and would fit right in with even the most stylish of decor.

However, with prices ranging from €165 – €207, these babies don't come cheap – so you better start dropping those Christmas pressie hints pretty soon.
