What a Weighted Blanket Does?
Weighted blankets are designed to provide gentle, evenly distributed pressure across the body, a sensation known as deep touch pressure stimulation. This calming effect supports the nervous system by helping reduce stress, ease restlessness and encourage a naturally more relaxed state before sleep. Many people find this type of pressure grounding and reassuring, making it easier to unwind at the end of the day.
Benefits for Sleep & Wellbeing
Research indicates that deep pressure input can help support the natural release of serotonin and melatonin—hormones that play a key role in mood regulation and maintaining a healthy sleep cycle. As a result, weighted blankets can be helpful for those experiencing anxiety, difficulty settling at night or interrupted sleep. They offer a simple, non-invasive way to promote deeper, more restorative rest and a more consistent bedtime routine.
