Yes, they can be calming. Look up Temple Grandin and cattle squeeze. π
Oh, thanks for that reference! I'd heard about the effect before, but wasn't aware of Ms Grandin...
I think weighted blankets work on the same principle.

"That's right, yeah. I made the link, yeah. That's absolutely right. So the next day I got my aunt to lock me in the squeeze chute and everybody thought that was kinda weird.
So you got in it, and then what happened?
Well, I was in there for about half an hour, and then for about an hour afterwards I was calmer."

Well, this is surely a squeeze but why would one want to do this to cattle!
It immobilizes them for exams, vaccines, and branding.
