Product Description

For years, occupational therapists have been using weighted blankets as a calming therapeutic tool for
children with sensory processing disorders. With anxiety affecting over 40 million adults in the US alone,
it's no wonder that weighted blankets have recently gone mainstream.

Similar to a hug from a loved one, the compression blanket calms the mind and body, while promoting
a more restful sleep. These combined benefits help combat anxiety, stress, and insomnia symptoms.

How Does It Work?
Designed to weigh 10-12 % of your body weight, the heavy blanket evenly distributes weight
your body. This form of Deep Pressure Therapy decreases the stress hormone cortisol and increases the
"feel good" hormone, serotonin. This results in a slower heart rate, lower blood pressure, and a calmed
"fight or flight" response. It also increases production of melatonin, the body's sleep hormone.
