"We brought the weighted blanket for one of our children so suffers from anxiety when away from home. She took it on a sports tournament and slept peacefully every night. This child doesn’t stay away from home due to her anxiety so managing 4 nights was amazing. The whole family enjoy the blanket and it’s first in to have it at the end of a busy day. Thank you for this product. "

The Science

Weighted blankets provide a light pressure to your body to help the release of serotonin. Serotonin is a chemical in the brain which regulates sleep, happiness, anxiety and mood.

Increased levels of Melotonin to help improve your sleep/wake cycle, and also decreased levels of cortisol which is a steroid hormone released in the response to stress.

Our weighted blankets give a calming feel and a sense of deep relaxation to ease the mind and body, helping you to fall asleep.
