Weighted blankets
Not everyone has someone to cuddle up to - a weighted blanket feels like a hug and helps you fall asleep. These innovative blankets exert deep pressure on the body, creating a feeling of cosiness and relaxation.
Your weighted blanket pulls you into the land of dreams
A good night's sleep starts with a cosy, warm blanket that lets you gently doze off. A weighted blanket - also known as a therapy blanket - distributes its weight over your entire body, exerting gentle, deep pressure. This can have a calming effect and lets you sleep as if in a protective embrace. The body relaxes and the quality of sleep improves. Discover our selection and immerse yourself in the land of dreams!
Weighted blankets and their many benefits
A weighted blanket is not only a cosy alternative to snuggling up, but also offers a range of health benefits. In other words: No more reading boring books to fall asleep and a relaxed "goodbye" to overpriced valerian drops from the pharmacy!
- Restful sleep: The deep pressure of a weighted blanket not only relaxes the body, but also promotes the release of the sleep hormone melatonin. This allows you to fall asleep more quickly and reduces night-time waking and tossing and turning.
- Stress reduction: In addition to its relaxing effect, a therapy blanket also promotes the release of the happiness hormone serotonin and lowers the stress hormone cortisol. The body can therefore relax better and reduce stress.
- Relief from anxiety: The feeling of security that comes from a weighted blanket can alleviate anxiety and depression. This is because the deep pressure gives the body a feeling of security. The improvement in sleep quality also has a positive effect on mental health.
- Pain relief: The pressure of the therapy blanket can also have a soothing effect on chronic pain. Blood circulation is stimulated and muscles are relaxed. The release of calming and lightening hormones can reduce the perception of pain.
- Regeneration and muscle relaxation: A weighted blanket helps you to relax quickly. The calming effect relaxes the muscles and promotes the body's regeneration after sport.
About weighted blankets
No matter how nice it might be, a weighted blanket is not a miracle cure. There are already many studies on the effect of therapy blankets. Despite this, they should never be a substitute for medical treatment. Weighted blankets can only alleviate the symptoms of certain illnesses.
How do I find the right weighted blanket?
We certainly don't need to explain the importance of a good night's sleep here. That's why a weighted blanket is suitable for people of all ages. Our therapy blankets are available in different weights, so there is a suitable blanket for everyone. As a rule of thumb, the blanket should be 10-15% of the body weight. Weighted blankets are also very personal, so you should choose two blankets with individual weights. A weighted blanket for children should be slightly lighter: around 7-10% of body weight.
Weighted blanket 6 kg: Recommended for a body weight between 40 and 60 kg
Weighted blanket 8 kg: Recommended for a body weight between 53 and 80 kg
Weighted blanket 10 kg: Recommended for a body weight between 67 and 100 kg
Weighted blanket for children
Anyone who plays tag and hide-and-seek all day should actually fall asleep quickly. But weighted blankets can also be beneficial for children. Whether for sleep disorders, restlessness and anxiety or mental disorders such as ADHD, the weight of the blanket can help children to fall asleep more quickly and stay asleep for longer. The deep pressure has a calming effect on the nervous system. However, make sure you choose the right weight class, especially for children. The 6 kg therapy blanket is suitable for children weighing 40 kg or more. For the smallest sleepers and dreamers, take a look at our baby duvets and children's duvets.
