A weighted blanket is a blanket filled with small objects providing extra weight that gently feels like being hugged or swaddled.
It mimics the pressure of being hugged or held, which is why weighted blankets have been used for years in occupational therapy, particularly in conditions such as depression, anxiety and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
The sensation of sleeping beneath a weighted blanket releases ‘happiness hormones’ that can improve sleep quality and duration providing the feeling of safety, relaxation and comfort.
Anyone can enjoy the benefits of a blanket (please do not use infants and kids under12 years of age as it may cause suffocation).
One consideration is that it is a 12lb (5.5kg) weighted blanket; some people may feel too warm underneath it even with the air condition on low. To address this, Linen & Homes’ Tranquility weighted blanket comes with a removable and machine washable 100% bamboo cover which allows the blanket to be more breathable and cooling.
Like all therapeutic products, a weighted blanket is a personal preference and may not be suitable for everyone. If you have any questions or comments about Linen & Homes Tranquility weighted blanket, please get in touch by emailing hello@linenandhomes.com
