Exploring the safety and therapeutic effects of deep pressure stimulation using weighted blankets

The effectiveness of weighted blankets on sleep and everyday activities

Every wondered how those disrupted sleep patterns could affect how you feel and perform? Here is a super interesting article by the Sleep Foundation about the stages of sleep and the consequences of insufficient sleep.

Weighted blankets work by stimulating Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation (DPTS) also known as deep pressure therapy. DPTS naturally raises serotonin levels in the brain promoting a sense of wellbeing. The gentle pressure on the body during the night or during stressful times calms you down allowing you to fall asleep. A weighted blanket helps you feel secure, creating a feeling of safety while allowing the body to relax and release muscle tension. Some customers suggest it’s like the feeling of receiving a nice big hug.

Despite its use in various therapies, weighted blankets are not a medical device but rather a calming technology to use as you see fit.

Weighted blankets are frequently used to sooth and calm at night to aid sleep or during the day to relax and unwind. Our blankets are 152cm x 203cm and 6.8kg.

We have found our 6.8kg weighted blanket is the most comfortable and sleep aiding blanket for adults.

We’ve made our weighted blankets using less fibre fill which is perfect for temperature control and the outside fabric is made from high quality minky. Our blankets are made for weight, not warmth.

Our weighted blankets have a seven layer constructed blanket, filled with non-toxic, hypo-allergenic, ordourless premium glass beads that are sewn into 10x10cm
pockets. These smaller compartments ensure even distribution of the beads and
overall weight of the blanket. The blanket drapes beautifully over the body without any pooling or bunching of material.

No covers, no ties, no hassle. We’ve solved the problem of ill-fitting and
cumbersome covers. Our solution...Our blankets are specifically designed NOT to
need a cover. No more struggling to tie your blanket within a duvet cover or having your blanket fall out of its cover due to undoing of ties or tie/loop breakages. No add-on cost of a duvet cover at checkout.

We’ve eliminated the need for covers by designing the blankets using irresistibly plush minky fabric both sides. Our blankets come in a range of colours, are stylish and versatile enough to be used in bed, on the couch or when travelling.

Minky fabric is hypoallergenic, irresistibly soft and made from short 100% polyester fibres. Minky is beautifully soft to touch and a durable fabric that is commonly used to make baby clothes and blankets. 

Our blankets are made with high quality fabric and materials and are very cost effective. Our weighted blankets contribute to getting a good night’s sleep, which is incredibly important for your mental and physical state and overall well-being.

Weighted blankets are a natural, non-pharmaceutical solution supporting a deeper and less interrupted sleep allowing the body to be fully rested.

Inevitably your weighted blanket will need washing at some stage, depending on how often you use it. You may need to wash the blanket every month or only four times a year with a change in season. Any blanket generally absorbs body oils and sweat and also be exposed to dirt and spills. You can spot clean or deep clean.

Spot Cleaning – Use a gentle soap or detergent mixed with cold water. Massage in with your fingers or sponge. Rinse thoroughly in cold water. Air dry thoroughly.

Deep Cleaning – Wash by hand in the laundry tub or bath. Use cold water with a mild detergent without bleach. Rinse thoroughly in cold water. Lay flat and air-dry thoroughly.

It is important to air dry your weighted blanket thoroughly before use.
