A weighted blanket is filled with high density fine-grade beads, giving it an added weight, that gently hugs the user. Mercerised cotton fabric is used with the weights to maintain a more traditional duvet feel. The popularity primarily comes from its promise to reduce anxiety and promote better sleep. The blanket gently presses on the user keeping otherwise fitful sleepers, still and supported, until morning. Its deep touch pressure gives the user feelings of safety, relaxation and comfort. The soothing pressure reduces the body’s stress hormones and encourages the production of serotonin (a hormone associated with feelings of happiness). It also helps to do away with symptoms of insomnia, chronic pain conditions or restless leg syndrome. The calming effect of this blanket allows the user to ease out of the “flight or fight” mode our body assumes when tense. It is therefore not only celebrated as a medication-free way of managing stress and anxiety, but can do wonders for the overall mental health of the individual as well.
