Weighted Blanket

A weighted blanket is a type of blanket that is designed to provide deep pressure stimulation to the user. The working principle of the blanket is to add weights to create a sense of security. By adding plastic pellets to the blanket, the blanket naturally gets heavier. There are many benefits of a weighted blanket for adults. Weighted blankets are often used as a therapy for individuals with sensory processing disorders, anxiety, and insomnia, among other conditions. The deep pressure stimulation provided by the blanket is believed to have a calming effect on the nervous system. Since the pressure from the heavy blanket simulates a gentle hug, which can help to reduce stress and anxiety levels, additionally, the sensation of being wrapped and surrounded by the blanket's weight can help reduce feelings of restlessness and promote relaxation. The blankets come in various sizes and weights, and there are even weighted blankets for kids that come in fun and playful designs. However, choosing one that is appropriate for the individual user is important. Generally, the blanket should weigh between 10%-15% of the user's body weight. For example, if the user weighs 150 pounds, a 15-pound blanket would be a good choice, because everyone deserves a peaceful, restful night's sleep after a long day at work.

Cooling weighted blankets

Cooling weighted blankets are a type of heavy blanket designed to provide both the benefits of deep pressure stimulation and a cooling sensation to the user, making them a great option for individuals who experience hot flashes or night sweats or those who simply prefer a cooler sleeping environment. The cooling effect in the blankets is achieved by using breathable materials, such as bamboo viscose, and the inclusion of cooling gel beads. The breathable materials allow air to circulate through the blanket, helping to regulate body temperature and prevent overheating. The cooling gel beads, on the other hand, absorb heat and release it slowly, helping to keep the user feeling cool and comfortable throughout the night.

Heated weighted blankets

A heated weighted blanket is a type of blanket that combines the benefits of deep pressure stimulation with the comfort of gentle heat, making it a great option for individuals who prefer a warm sleeping environment, struggle with cold weather, or suffer from chronic pain or muscle tension. It is also a great gift for Christmas during winter. Heated weighted blankets incorporate heating elements, such as electric wires or gel, within the blanket. The heating elements provide a gentle, even heat that can be adjusted to the user's preference. For added convenience and safety, some heated weighted blankets also come with temperature control features, such as multiple heat settings, automatic shut-off, and timers. In addition to providing warmth, heated weighted blankets have all the benefits of weighted blankets that can help reduce stress and promote relaxation for a night of deep sleep.

Knitted weighted blankets

A knitted weighted blanket is a type of weighted blanket that is made from knit fabric, such as cotton or wool. Knitted weighted blankets are characterized by their soft and cozy texture, making them a popular choice for individuals looking for a comfortable and warm blanket to use year-round. The weights in a knitted weighted blanket are typically made of plastic pellets or glass beads, which are evenly distributed throughout the blanket to provide deep pressure stimulation. The breathable nature of the knit fabric can also help regulate body temperature and prevent overheating when snuggling in the blanket all year round. Additionally, the blankets are beautifully hand-knitted and can come in various designs and colors, which makes them great gift options for family and friends. It is often customizable and can be made to order for kids.
