What is A Weighted Blanket?
A weighted blanket is a type of blanket designed to apply gentle, uniform pressure to the body. Small weights, typically made of glass beads or plastic pellets, are sewn into the fabric pockets of the blanket to generate the desired pressure. The weights are distributed evenly throughout the blanket, and they have a calming, enveloping effect on the user.

How Does it Works?
A weighted blanket can have a calming and soothing effect on the nervous system by applying deep touch pressure to the body. This pressure is evenly distributed across the body, creating a feeling similar to being gently hugged or held.
Deep touch pressure from a weighted blanket can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, the system responsible for the "rest and digest" response. This activation can reduce heart rate, blood pressure, and feelings of stress and anxiety in general.
Reduction of Cortisol Levels Cortisol is a hormone related to the stress response of the body. The deep pressure stimulation provided by a weighted blanket may reduce cortisol levels, thereby reducing stress and anxiety.
This gentle pressure can promote a sense of security and comfort, which may help individuals fall into a deep sleep more quickly.
Getting The Best Result
For you to get the best results from your weighted blanket, you've got to choose the correct size and weight in order to use it effectively. It is important to gradually get used to using your weighted blanket.
Start by placing the weighted blanket across your legs for the 1st few nights.
Over the next couple of days, gradually cover half of your body with the blanket.
Once you feel comfortable covering half of your body, you are ready to experience the full benefits of a weighted blanket. You are now able to cover your entire body, from your shoulders to your toes.
As mentioned, sleeping under a weighted blanket may feel kind of unnatural at first. Therefore, do allow yourself sufficient time to adapt to it. Usually it takes between 7 to 14 days to get used to it, but this time frame can vary between individuals.
It is important to note that although many people find weighted blankets beneficial, their effects can vary from individual to individual. Some people may find the feeling of a weighted blanket to be uncomfortable or confining. Start with a weight that is approximately 10% of your body weight and adjust as needed to find the most comfortable and effective level of pressure.
