IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP : Weighted blankets are significantly heavier than standard comforters, duvets, and quilts. These blankets help improve sleep quality because they promote the production of melatonin, a natural hormone that controls your natural sleep cycle. They also facilitate production of ‘happiness hormones’ that can have a calming effect on the nervous system. In addition to benefits for sleepers, weighted blankets can also alleviate stress and anxiety for many. HOW DO THE BLANKETS WORK ? Weighted blankets provide a sensation known as ‘grounding’ that applies moderate pressure to the sleeper’s body and pushes them further into their sleep surface. Grounding also triggers the release of hormones that calm the nerves and lead to a good night’s sleep. The blanket’s weight is key for preserving sleep quality and getting an adequate amount of rest each night. Weighted blankets should be tailored to the individual user. WHICH WEIGHT DO I NEED ? It is important that the weight of your blanket is in proportion to the bodyweight of the person using it. The commonly accepted principal verified by Occupational Therapists is that the weighted blanket should be 7%-12% of your body weight. Usually 10% of your body weight. They come in a choice of three sizes, and 3 weight options, can be used while reading, relaxing, or meditating. WHY CHOOSE THE VICEROY BEDDING WEIGHTED BLANKET OVER THE REST ?
