In the chaos of modern life, finding a moment of pure, uninterrupted relaxation feels like a rare luxury. Enter the weighted blanket - a deceptively simple invention that’s basically a hug in blanket form. Cozy, calming, and scientifically backed.
Picture this: You’re wrapped up in a cocoon of comfort, feeling a gentle yet reassuring pressure that melts away stress. That’s the magic of weighted blankets. Designed to provide deep touch pressure, they mimic the soothing sensation of a hug, helping to ease anxiety, improve sleep, and make lounging feel downright indulgent.
How It Works (a.k.a. The Science of Snuggling)
At their core, weighted blankets are filled with small, evenly distributed weights (like glass beads) that apply gentle pressure across your body. This activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress. It’s like a weighted high-five to your nervous system, encouraging the release of serotonin (the happy chemical), dopamine (the feel-good one), and melatonin (the sleep hormone).
Why People Swear By Them
- Sleep, Upgraded – The gentle pressure helps you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer by boosting melatonin (your sleep hormone) and reducing cortisol (your stress hormone).
- Goodbye, Restlessness – Whether it’s an overactive mind, racing thoughts, or a body that just won’t settle, the steady weight signals your nervous system to slow down.
- Your Perfect Kind of Cozy – Some like a cool, silky hug (meet our Doozie Flo cover). Others want the plush, fuzzy kind (say hello to our Doozie Fluff cover). Either way, you get the comfort of DTP without overheating.
How to Pick Your Perfect Weighted Blanket
Weighted blankets work best when they’re 8-12% of your body weight, but it’s all about personal preference and how much pressure feels just right for you.
• 6kg Blanket – Ideal if you weigh 50-75kg
• 8kg Blanket – Best for those around 70-100kg
Prefer a little extra weight? Go heavier. Like a gentler touch? Go lighter. It’s your comfort zone so find what fits.
