Weighted blankets – what are they for?
Weighted blankets are developed for the purpose of relieving stress and anxiety. While using these blankets, they provide the sensation of being hugged or embraced. They are individually made according to your height and body weight.
However, they offer much more than just a hug. Studies have shown that using a weighted blanket increases the level of serotonin and melatonin as well as reduces cortisol. Also, weighted blankets contribute to the improvement of your mood by helping you to achieve a restful sleep throughout the night.
Reduces Stress & Anxiety
According to research studies, more than 40 million British citizens experience prolonged feelings of stress and anxiety. Therefore, a weighted blanket can be a natural and prescription-free solution.
Improves Sleep Quality
Approximately 70% of British citizens experience trouble falling asleep at least one night a week. However, weighted blankets can reduce self-stimulatory movements and thus contribute to a deeper REM cycle.
Sheer Pleasure
Top of the line performance of a weighted blanket comes from the supreme quality of its materials. Its ultra-soft and breathable cover contributes to one of the most comfortable sensations you have ever experienced.
Is it worth buying the Gravity Blanket with an outer summer cover?

Moreover, summer cover is much thinner and made with 100% cotton on one side and velvet on the other side, what makes it breathable and provides you pleasantly coolness during hot summer nights. Weighted blanket creates a gentle pressure over your entire body which contributes to the improvement of sleep, mood, and relaxation.

Quality Details
Gravity blankets should not be confused with thicker or down filled blankets because they are made with special deep touch technology that spreads even pressure all over your body.
The weight of the blanket, which equals to approximately 10% of your own body weight, creates a pleasant and satisfying sense of well-being when using the blanket at night. The result is a euphoric feeling of complete relaxation for your body and nervous system. Your body releases serotonin (happiness hormone) and melatonin (sleep hormone), so you can fall asleep peacefully or sit calmly while relaxing on the couch.
The Science Behind the Blanket
Although weighted blankets have been used throughout the medical community for some time now, recent scientific studies have only now begun to discuss the various health advantages. The results found so far are remarkable.
Weighted blankets use the power of proprioceptive input, also known as “deep touch" pressure stimulation, which is a well-regarded therapeutic treatment that stimulates pressure points found in the body. This pressure stimulation contributes to the improvement of sleep, mood, and relaxation.
This also contributes to the reduction of cortisol levels and increases the production of serotonin. Thus, the treatment helps to regulate both heart rate and blood pressure.
