A quality weighted blanket that helps with stress, anxiety and sleep disorders. The weight is distributed evenly over the entire body and creates a deep gentle pressure that allows you to relax and sleep better. The weight also provides a pleasant and nurturing sense of well-being, with the evenly distributed pressure helping you to peacefully fall asleep or sit quietly and relax on the couch. It helps alleviate anxiety and intrusive thoughts, calming the body and ensuring a restful night's sleep.

Thanks to the pleasant pressure, the body calms down more quickly and can enter the deep sleep phase. Importantly, their use does not lead to side effects like those associated with pharmacological treatments.

The deep pressure created by the therapeutic weight of our blankets relaxes joints, muscles and tendons. This effect is also known as “Deep Pressure Stimulation” because of its gentle but potent and even pressure that is applied to the body. This helps you relax both physically and mentally. In addition, it causes the release of the serotonin hormone, and at the same time lowers the level of cortisol (the stress hormone).

Made from microfiber with a cotton trim around the edges.

Insulating Layer

Silicone insulation

Weight Layer

The primary weight of the blanket consists of glass microbeads, which are evenly distributed in special pockets. The gentle movement of the beads within the pockets allows the blanket to better conform to the user.

Sustainability

The Sensomedic weighted blanket is made exclusively in Europe, the cotton used is certified and comes from sustainable
plantations. The tiny glass balls inside the blankets are manufactured in Europe in a perfectly safe environment.

Getting the correct weight is important because it ensures the benefits of the blanket are provided but also comfort and safety as well, particularly in children or older adults.

Which weight is best for me?

It is suggested that users of weighted blankets chose a weight that is 10% of their body weight. For older or more frail people, you can consider reducing the weight by perhaps 1kg or 2kg. For example, if 10% of your body weight = 6kg, you might want to consider a 5kg or 4kg blanket. Please see more info in the table below.

Weight Blanket Weight Reduced Weight for Frailties
30-49kg 4kg 3kg
50-69kg 6gk 4-5kg
70-89kg 8kg 6-7kg
90-109kg 10kg 8-9kg
110+kg 12kg 10-11kg

The recommended weight of the blanket is about 10% of the user’s body weight. However, if you experience discomfort during the initial phase of using the blanket, follow these guidelines to help adjust to the weight:

Days 1-3 - 15 minutes per day
Days 4-10 - 1 hour per day
Days 11-20 - 2 hours per day
Day 21 and beyond - the entire night

The effects of using a weighted blanket depend on the individual characteristics of your body, so the differences may be felt at varying rates. In some cases, the first positive effects may be noticeable within a few days, but this time frame can extend to several weeks.

It is important to note that certain health conditions may prevent older people using weighted blankets. If you have a health condition such as one of those listed below, please consult with your doctor before trialling a weighted blanket:

  • Asthma
  • Vascular dementia
  • Osteoporosis (bone fragility)
  • Cardiovascular conditions (e.g., individuals with a pacemaker)
  • Respiratory system disorders
  • Hypertension
  • Obstructive sleep apnea
