"They’re so heavy they mimic a lover’s embrace to help you nod off, our wakeful writer snuggles up."

"Weighted blankets are nothing new. Children on the autism spectrum and anxious elderly people have enjoyed their cocooning effect for some time."

"It comes as no surprise that many are relying on weighted blankets to simply achieve a good night's sleep."

"Weighted blankets are sold to the insomnia crowd, but are also often recommended to children with autism, as a means of helping them sleep."

What are weighted blankets?

They are high quality, hand-stitched therapeutic products that support the body with sleep problems, stress, and anxiety. They are also often used for psycho-physical disorders such as ADHD, Down's syndrome, Asperger's syndrome, and autism.

Weighted blankets are also called therapeutic blankets because their weight is evenly distributed over the entire body and creates a pleasant hugging sensation. As a result, your whole body is relaxed, stress and anxiety levels drop, and the wearer can fall asleep or relax peacefully.

What the experts say about the effects of the therapeutic blanket

Dr. Sabine Hoffmann

Chief Psychologist

These blankets can induce a spontaneous feeling of calmness, in short, ‘all is well’ on a physical and, therefore, psychological level.

Katharina Meier-Batrakow

Psychologist and Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist

Hugging someone to comfort them, hugging a child to calm them down - these are proven methods to reduce stress.

Michaela Gross

Naturopath/Homeopath in psychotherapy

My patients find it easier to regulate their breathing rate. As a result, they relax much faster and can concentrate better on their inner needs.
