Weighted blankets offer a cosy, calming embrace that feels like a gentle hug, helping to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Evenly distributing pressure, they can support better sleep by encouraging the body to release serotonin and melatonin—perfect for unwinding after a long day.

The weighted blanket offers an extra layer of calming support to encourage better sleep. Made from soft and cosy microfibre, it's filled with a blend of polyester fibre and glass beads that create a soothing pressure to help reduce stress and anxiety.

The blanket comes in a soft sage colour and is machine washable. Measuring 200cm by 150cm it is big enough for a kingsize bed.
While many users swear by them, weighted blankets aren't suitable for everyone. The blanket should be approximately 10% of the user's body weight and there are other considerations to be taken into account before use.
