THERAPEUTIC HUGS FOR DEEPER SLEEP

Weighted blankets use the calming power of Deep Touch Pressure (DTP), mimicking the soothing sensation of a hug. This gentle pressure is believed to help reduce stress and promote relaxation by encouraging lower cortisol levels and the production of serotonin and melatonin, which may support falling asleep faster and staying asleep longer. Whether you're seeking to unwind, improve sleep quality, or simply enjoy a cozy, calming experience, our Weighted Blanket wraps you in comfort for a naturally restful sleep.

THREE CALMING WEIGHTS

Choosing the right size and weight will enhance your experience. Select a blanket close to 10% of your body weight as a general guideline. For example, if you weigh around 150 pounds, our 12 lb Weighted Blanket is ideal. If you're between weight options, choose lighter for a gentler sensation or heavier for a deeper, more enveloping hug.

HUG WITH A PURPOSE

Unlike conventional weighted blankets filled with glass beads or steel pellets, ours is hand-knit from buttery-soft, sustainable fabrics. The weight is evenly distributed through the thick-knit design, offering breathability and comfort. Our weighted blanket is crafted entirely from breathable cotton, featuring a cotton cover and cotton fill, produced under the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), a global non-profit organization promoting better standards in cotton farming.

GREAT FOR KIDS

Weighted blankets can provide the same calming benefits to kids over the age of 4 as they do to adults. Please be advised that a weighted blanket should be no more than 10% of a child's body weight. By applying gentle, even pressure across the body, they can help children feel more secure and relaxed. This soothing sensation may ease anxiety, support focus, and encourage deeper, more restful sleep. For children experiencing sensory sensitivities, including those with ADHD or autism, weighted blankets can offer a comforting, non-medical tool to help calm their minds and bodies.

Age Usage

Weighted blankets are ideal for kids, teens, and adults, but they are not recommended for children under the age of 4 due to safety considerations.

Materials & Sustainability

Our weighted blanket is crafted entirely from breathable cotton, featuring a cotton cover and cotton fill, produced under the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), a global non-profit organization promoting better standards in cotton farming. The filler-free design ensures evenly distributed weight for a comfortable and restful experience, while the materials emphasize sustainability and breathability.

Washing Your Weighted Blanket

Machine wash your Weighted Blanket on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Do not use bleach. Lay flat to dry to avoid stretching out the blankets’ lovely, natural loops. Do not hang dry or tumble dry.

Storing Your Blanket

Each weighted blanket comes with a natural cotton storage bag, making it easy to store or travel with when not in use. This helps protect your blanket and maintain its quality over time.

Certifications

OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 is one of the world’s best-known labels for textiles tested for harmful substances. This certification guarantees that every component of the product—from the yarns to the threads—has been tested and proven safe for human health. Our Weighted Blanket is certified to ensure that it is free from chemicals that could be harmful to you or the environment, giving you peace of mind as you rest.

Breathable Materials

Our weighted blankets not only support sustainability but also maximize comfort. The soft, eco-friendly fabrics are naturally breathable, helping to regulate body temperature as you sleep. Unlike traditional weighted blankets that trap heat with fillers like glass beads or pellets, our filler-free design provides consistent, cool comfort throughout the night.

Weighted Blanket Benefits

Everyone loves a hug! Whether you're dealing with anxiety, stress, or insomnia, the calming pressure of a weighted blanket may help improve sleep quality. Weighted blankets are also commonly used by individuals with sensory processing differences, such as those on the autism spectrum, as well as those managing conditions like restless leg syndrome (RLS) or fibromyalgia. Additionally, anyone looking to relax more deeply, reduce stress, or enhance their overall well-being can enjoy the soothing benefits of a weighted blanket.

Can a Weighted Blanket Be Too Heavy?

A weighted blanket should typically be about 10% of your body weight. Studies suggest it’s safe for adults to use a blanket weighing up to 30 lbs. If the blanket feels too heavy at first, try covering only part of your body until you adjust to the weight comfortably.
