How did you come across the therapy blanket concept?
I became aware of the site through an ad on social networks. I have already heard quite a bit about the concept of weighted blankets in my circle of friends and acquaintances, and mainly positive experiences have been shared with me.
How do you personally experience using a weighted blanket?
I sometimes have trouble calming down before important competitions. However, restful sleep is an absolutely necessary prerequisite to deliver the best possible performance. After the first few nights were initially a bit unusual, as the weight of the blanket noticeably restricts movements in bed, I noticed a significant improvement in my sleep in the following nights. The weight of the blanket has a very calming effect.
Furthermore, I find the weighted blanket very balanced. It is just balanced enough to be heavy, but I don't feel crushed. Additionally, I find the cover comfortable and the texture very pleasant and natural.
The calming effect of the weight helps me fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply and soundly. I feel noticeably more rested the next morning.
In your opinion, is the use of therapy blankets in sports sensible?
In my experience, there is a wide range of aids in high-performance sports that contribute to regeneration. Some approaches are applicable to almost all athletes, but a large part of regeneration also consists of recognizing individual needs and acting accordingly. I have definitely expanded my personal portfolio for better and faster regeneration with the weighted blanket.
I mostly use the weighted blanket at home and during important activities abroad.
Where are you already successfully using therapy blankets? And where do you still see potential?
The concept of the blanket alone implies that transport is relatively difficult, as the blanket takes up a lot of space and even more weight. Therefore, I believe that its use in professional sports is very sensible and helpful, but it conflicts with the enormous amount of traveling around the globe throughout the year.
From my personal perspective, a blanket that is at least significantly more space-saving would be especially useful for high-performance sports.
Your personal conclusion
I really like the concept of the weighted blanket. Besides the good craftsmanship, which I also want to mention here, I like - as already mentioned above - the natural feel of the blanket. The dimensions are even very comfortable for me, being two meters tall, and I can easily cover my entire body. I have also already noted the very successful weight distribution from my point of view, which exerts a soothing and even heaviness on the body. Moreover, the blanket does not lose its flexible character. Despite the weight, it can be handled like a normal blanket and is not rigid.
By using this weighted blanket, I experience noticeably more restful sleep and feel more rested and productive the next day.
