Weighted blankets are therapeutic blankets that help people sleep better at night. The additional weight on the blanket uses Deep Touch Pressure that stimulates the pressure points in your body to give it complete relaxation (method commonly used in massages). This has proven to reduce anxiety, relieve pain, and help the user feel more energized when they wake up.

Using a weighted blanket can drastically transform your sleeping habits, which, in turn, can have positive effects on your waking life. Some of the benefits of using a weighted blanket regularly include: - Improved sleep quality and overall mood - Lowered production of cortisol (The Stress Hormone) - Increased production of melatonin (The Sleep Hormone), serotonin, oxytocin, and dopamine (The Happy Hormones) - Relief from insomnia, restlessness and other sleep conditions - Reduced feelings of anxiety and depression - Improved brain function - Regulated circadian cycle Weighted blankets are often used as a sleep aid, but can also be used for relaxation or sensory therapy purposes. While these are only a few of the benefits of sleeping with weighted blankets, the value of a good night’s rest simply cannot be overstated.

Generally, we recommend choosing a weighted blanket that is about 10% of your body weight.

Some of our users who have been using a weighted blanket for some time choose to go even heavier, and this is fine as well. It is all dependent on your comfort and needs.
