As a competitive athlete, recovery is almost as important as training itself. You constantly try to improve by a few percentage points. This is achieved not only through the training process, but also through nutrition, lifestyle, and recovery. Unfortunately, I'm not blessed with the best sleep, and so I wanted to improve in the area of sleep, or rather, the associated nighttime recovery. I was thinking about how I could improve my sleep, and a friend, also a professional athlete, told me that a weighted blanket had led to enormous improvements in his sleep quality, making him more energized the next day. So I delved deeper into the topic of weighted/therapeutic blankets. The concept sounded very promising to me, and I quickly ordered a therapeutic blanket.

The initial phase took some getting used to, as the therapy blanket is many times heavier than a normal duvet. But since my body has adjusted to the heavy weight, I sleep very well, and above all, I feel like I sleep more deeply, which definitely allows me to start training again the next day feeling more refreshed!

I believe that therapy blankets currently receive too little attention in the world of sports. Yet, sleep is incredibly important for all types of competitive sports. Athletes travel extensively around the world for training camps and competitions, which can cause a lot of stress and constant performance pressure. We often sleep in unfamiliar beds in hotels, performance centers, and training bases, where sleep quality suffers due to the unfamiliar environment and often uncomfortable beds. It is therefore even more important to prioritize good sleep quality at home after tough weeks abroad to optimally regenerate, and therapy blankets are an absolute game-changer in this regard.

In this area, a lighter therapy blanket model could potentially be developed, allowing travelers like athletes to take a blanket with them to competitions and training camps to benefit from better sleep even when abroad.

I have been looking for solutions for better sleep for a long time but haven't really found anything yet. With the therapy blanket, I have finally found something that significantly improves my sleep and allows me to start my next training sessions feeling more energized and recovered the next day. I can really recommend this blanket to anyone who wants to do something good for their body and health! Because you can return the blanket even after a long testing phase, everyone can truly test the blankets at home in peace and find the ideal model and weight for themselves!
