Advantages

Reduction of anxiety and stress

Studies show that weighted blankets reduce stress and anxiety. The blankets promote the release of the hormone serotonin while simultaneously lowering cortisol levels (the so-called stress hormone). Placing the blanket on the body creates a pleasant feeling of security and well-being. The result is a euphoric feeling of complete relaxation of the body and nervous system. The body releases the happiness hormone serotonin and the sleep hormone melatonin, allowing you to fall asleep peacefully or sit calmly and relaxed on the couch or at the workplace.

The solution for stress

Demanding jobs, constantly bad headlines in the newspapers, irritating phone notifications, and constant availability on all social networks affect our brain and thoughts. Stress is part of life, but it becomes problematic when we are exposed to too much stress over time. The body and mind begin to suffer.

According to current studies, the average German spends about 2 hours a day on the internet during their free time. The majority even believe they are addicted to their electronic devices. Workplace studies show an even worse statistic. Employees visit an average of 40 websites per day and switch tasks every 2 minutes.

Almost 2 hours per day are spent trying to recover from distractions. This new lifestyle significantly contributes to the increased stress level in society.

Promotes better sleep

Through the deep relaxation caused by placing the blanket on, the body manages to stay in the deep sleep phase faster and longer.

Little or poor sleep not only has serious effects on our productivity but can also lead to health problems. Diabetes, heart problems, and obesity are linked to poor sleep quality. Nowadays, it is more likely to know someone with sleep disorders than someone without sleep problems.

A loving hug

The deep pressure exerted by the weight of the blanket signals the brain the same feeling that occurs during a loving hug. You feel held, loved, and supported.

The therapy blankets were designed with the idea of giving you a pleasant, cozy, and soothing feeling at night, but they can also be used during the day. Relaxation is good for everyone, whether lying on the couch, reading, or meditating.

The fabric from which the therapy blankets are made is very breathable, making the temperature always feel comfortable.
