The feeling of a hug
What is a weighted blanket?
A weighted blanket is a blanket with extra weight. The increased weight mimics the feeling of a hug, giving you better relaxation and sleep.

Eco-friendly, natural, silent
Gravity
The Scandinavian weighted blankets are filled with hundreds of thousands of small glass beads, made from natural silica sand. The glass beads provide an evenly distributed weight and optimal temperature. Furthermore, they are completely silent – even when you move.
The original weighted blanket
was designed to improve sleep and reduce anxiety. Our weighted blanket is extremely soft and designed to provide comfort. The small glass beads, sewn into the blanket's pockets, allow the weight to be evenly and silently distributed across your body. The weighted blanket can be a great help for those seeking deeper and better sleep.

It is also believed that the technique increases serotonin, which is a substance the brain releases to provide calmness. Serotonin is also linked to other happiness hormones, which help reduce cortisol (the body's stress hormone). However, due to the difficulty in measuring it, we cannot say with 100% certainty that this occurs.
