Item Description
Wrapping yourself up in a blanket can feel like one giant hug -- with the right blanket, that is. If it is soft, warm, and cozy, that is a good start. But have you ever thought about how the weight of your blanket affects how comfortable it is? A heavy, weighted blanket can actually be more comforting and even beneficial to your health than its lighter counterpart.
Weighted blankets vary in size, shape, color, and material. They are usually filled with tiny plastic pellets to make them heavier. Some blankets have just a few extra pounds on them, which are good for children. Others may have 20 or more pounds added, which are better suited for adults. The pressure from the extra weight mimics a therapeutic technique called deep pressure stimulation or pressure therapy.
Deep pressure stimulation uses pressure to relax the nervous system. It models the experience of being held or hugged. This practice may help relieve pain, reduce symptoms of anxiety, improve sleep quality, or relieve symptoms of depression.
In addition to all their therapeutic benefits, weighted blankets are wonderful to cuddle up in on a cold winter night!
Item Special Note
This weighted blanket measures 60 inches by 80 inches (Queen size).
Weighted blankets should not be used for children under 2, or for people with obstructive sleep apnea, asthma, or claustrophobia.
