In the past, we used heavy, tightly woven blankets (Catalonian, homespun or wool) to stay warm on cold winter nights. We now understand that it wasn\u2019t only because these blankets were warm that they helped people sleep deeply; it was also because they were heavy.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, studies have demonstrated the beneficial effects of using bedding of a certain weight. The gentle pressure it exerts on the body of the sleeper makes a whole world of difference. The quality of sleep is better, and better sleep, in turn, brings numerous health benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s weighted blankets are warm, but also breathable and adaptable. Thanks to their modern design and construction, we can now enjoy them all year long.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therapeutic effects of weighted blankets<\/b><\/h2>\n

One of the benefits of weighted blankets is the calming, comforting effect they produce at bedtime. This makes it easier to fall asleep, as it promotes the production of melatonin. Feeling this slight pressure on our bodies as we sleep also helps us relax. Consequently, there\u2019s less likelihood that we\u2019ll become restless during the night. And more restful sleep means deeper sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n

In general, the sense of well-being we experience underneath a weighted blanket can help reduce stress. As a result, our bodies produce serotonin. This is significant in that an increase in the levels of this hormone (which is also a neurotransmitter) improves various bodily functions, including sleep. Conversely, deficient levels of this hormone can produce a number of unpleasant symptoms, such as headache, muscle aches, high blood pressure and trouble concentrating.<\/span><\/p>\n

The joy of a good blanket<\/b><\/h2>\n

Weighted blankets are one of the many products we offer our clients. Popular models include the <\/span>Trenza<\/a>,<\/i><\/b> a machine-washable hand-woven 100% organic cotton throw. We also offer the <\/span>Prima<\/a>,<\/i><\/b> a high-quality Oeko-Tex certified weighted blanket (using glass beads). All cotton and soft to the touch, it\u2019s calibrated to offer optimal comfort.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
