WHAT IS A WEIGHTED BLANKET? A weighted blanket moulds to your body like a gentle hug. The pressure relaxes the nervous system, helping to alleviate stress and anxiety, and encouraging your body to rest as well as encourages serotonin production, which lifts your mood. When serotonin naturally converts to melatonin, your body takes the cue to rest. This means a calmer mind and deeper sleep. WHO CAN USE WEIGHTED BLANKETS? Weighted blankets are generally safe for adults and teens, but they shouldn’t be used for a baby. The safest sleep environment for an infant is a bare crib free of pillows, comforters, stuffed animals and bumper pads. It is not recommended children under 3 years old to use a weighted blanket for safety reason. Anyone using a weighted blanket should be able to put it on and remove it themselves. FEATURES Enhances sleep The extra weight helps you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Goodbye sleepless nights. Comforts and Hugs Blanket hugs your body to mimic deep pressure touch stimulation for a comforting feel you’ll love. Calms and Soothes This all-natural sleep aid calms and soothes so you can actually fall asleep when you lay down. Aids in Sensory Processing Disorder Sensory issues are thought to be caused by signals in the brain getting “stuck in traffic” that can lead to anxiety attacks. Placing a weighted blanket on these children can have a calming effect. Improves Sleep The deep touch pressure that weighted blanket gives can help boost your serotonin and melatonin levels. When serotonin increases, it can be easier to relax into a more restful sleep. Promotes Calm The pressure of weighted blankets puts your autonomic nervous system into “rest” mode, reducing some of the symptoms of anxiety, such as a quickened heart rate or breathing. This can provide an overall sense of calm.
