How does a weighted blanket work?
A weighted blanket applies gentle, even pressure to the body, similar to a firm hug. This stimulates the nervous system and may help promote the release of serotonin and melatonin, neurotransmitters that play a role in regulating mood and sleep. It may also reduce the release of cortisol, the stress hormone.
Benefits of Weighted Blankets
Fall asleep faster - Deep pressure stimulation promotes melatonin production.
Reduces stress and anxiety - Lowers cortisol and increases serotonin and endorphins.
Deep relaxation - Ideal after a long day at work or when feeling restless.
Suitable for adults and children - Choose the right size and weight for optimal comfort.

Can a weighted blanket help with sleep problems, stress, or anxiety?
Yes, weighted blankets can help with sleep problems, anxiety, and stress. The deep pressure stimulation they provide can promote a sense of calm and relaxation, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. They may also reduce anxiety and stress by influencing the release of neurotransmitters and providing a sense of security.
Who is a weighted blanket suitable for?
Weighted blankets can be beneficial for people who have trouble sleeping, experience anxiety, stress, or sensory sensitivity, or need a sense of security and comfort. They may be suitable for adults, teenagers, and children, but it’s important to choose the right size and weight based on individual needs.

How do I choose the right weight?
When choosing a weighted blanket, it's important to consider the weight of the blanket. A general guideline is to choose a blanket that weighs around 10% of the user's body weight. It's also important to choose the right size so the blanket can comfortably cover the whole body. In addition, it's a good idea to consider the blanket's material and quality for optimal comfort and durability.
Which weighted blanket is right for you?
Choose the right blanket based on your body weight. A general guideline: 8% - 12% of your body weight.
