What is a Weighted Blanket?
'Weighted' or 'Gravity' Blankets are becoming more and more popular and widely used. They are designed to be heavier than normal blankets. The science behind this is pretty simple and follows the same lines as tightly swaddling a new born baby, the sensation makes the baby feel snug and secure as it simulates the warm embrace of a parents comforting arms.
The small amount of weight in these blankets has been proven to help calm the central nervous system and many users find themselves comforted and calm helping them to relax into a quicker and deeper more restful sleep.
What are the Benefits of using a Weighted Blanket ?
These blankets have been shown to help with:
Anxiety
Insomnia
Reducing stress
Improved overall mood
Autism
Our Duvet-style weighted blankets add weight using small ceramic beads inside a light cover, ideal to use in bed, on the sofa or anywhere that you would like to relax. Studies have shown that less medications for sleep problems or anxiety may needed as a result of using such a simple, relaxation remedy.
'Deep Pressure Stimulation' is a natural therapy which where a firm pressure is applied to the body to help promote a sense of calm. The weighted blankets are a form of deep pressure stimulation and offer many users a sense of calm and security. The blankets are now widely used as an alternative aid when helping children or adults who are on the spectrum of autism as they can ease stress and help to relieve the feelings of anxiety.
Weighted Blankets Help Reduce Stress & Anxiety
The secure and comforting weight of the blankets can really be beneficial to those among us who have difficulty in sleeping as the therapeutic, evenly distributed weight over the body should help to calm the central nervous system, gently lowering heart beat and putting the mind into a relaxed state ready to achieve a deep and restful sleep.
