Product Information

I just received it yesterday and I already know it will be hard to do without. As an autistic person I can positively say that this blanket is another tool to sleep better !

But there are also more expensive ones like those from Simba and John Lewis. Where to buy weighted blankets? Sizing-wise it’s ideal for a single bed or to snuggle under on the sofa. What is the best weighted blanket?Henderson recommends practising deep belly breathing when using a weighted blanket, to help activate our “rest and digest” response. “The mind’s focus is then on the sensation of the blanket and the breath, not any thoughts that had been racing beforehand, meaning it can also be used as a mindfulness tool when used in this way,” she explains. What is the science behind weighted blankets? When starting to use a weighted blanket, start with approximately 10 minutes and observe the change in your body and mind before and after use,” suggests Henderson. “Make sure it feels comfortable, secure, and you can move it easily as needed. If it feels good after that time, then you can increase the time to 20-25 minutes and again just observe how you feel after that time. Another weighted blanket with a luxury soft cover, this design from Rocabi comes in three different weights: 15lbs, 25lbs and 30lbs.

Furthermore, this weighted blanket comes with a velvety cover, that's incredibly soft to the touch and provides all the comfort you could need. But what makes this weighted blanket a “safe option”? Well, for one, it's the best weighted blanket when it comes to getting the perfect weight for your build. A study has also shown that you are 30% more likely to be obese if you do not get enough good quality sleep.Weighted blankets are more expensive than standard blankets and prices vary depending on the weight, size, fabric and manufacturer. Weighted blankets work in a way that is similar to deep touch pressure therapy, as the heavy feeling of the blanket puts gentle pressure on the body, which helps to release serotonin to the brain, providing a sense of calm to the user.

In layman's terms, deep pressure therapy is a form of therapy that relaxes our nervous system by applying gentle pressure on our body. Whether the pressure is applied through hugging, squeezing, holding, or covering yourself with a gravity blanket does not make that big of a difference. A common question that we receive is how heavy should a weighted blanket be? The answer to this question depends entirely on the person using the blanket. The cover is made of eco-friendly, cooling bamboo so it won’t be too hot during the summer. And during the winter, it can keep you nice and snug even when the AC is on.However, we will note that while they advertise this weighted blanket as having a lifetime warranty, it's a bit misleading. Scientific research has clearly shown that a good night of sleep is essential no matter your age - it powers the mind, energizes us and sets us in good stead for the day ahead.
