Helping to tackle sleep disorders
Weighted blankets provided by Calming Blankets have been proven to help those struggling with sleep disorders such as insomnia. This is due to the weight of the blanket, which varies from 4.5kg to 9 kg.. This applied pressure activates a nervous system response, which in turn helps you to sleep more soundly.
Reducing feelings of stress and anxiety
Also referred to as gravity or sensory blankets, these weighted blankets can help to alleviate overall stress and anxiety as the weight can dramatically reduce tossing and turning during the night. By getting a much better sleep, people are much less likely to report suffering from anxiety or stress.
Being able to feel more chilled
Applied pressure in the form of weighted blankets helps us to feel calmer. The reason for this, as Calming Blankets has discovered, is due to our proprioceptive input. In layman terms, this is the urge our brains have to put ourselves and our body parts within the context of our surroundings.
Super soft fabric
Calming Blankets uses ultra-soft minky fabric that is typically used for baby blankets, meaning you are guaranteed complete and utter comfort. The blankets are machine washable too, making them both practical and cosy.
Ideal choice for the entire family
These blankets can be used by everyone at home, with Calming Blankets offering children’s weighted blankets too. These start from £119, whilst adult blankets start from £149.
