Weighted blanket double

A weighted blanket, also known as a weighted blanket, heavy blanket, or weighted cover, is a blanket that - as the name suggests - is weighted. This allows the blanket to fall around your body and exerts a subtle pressure on your body. This pressure is scientifically termed ‘Deep Pressure Stimulation’. A subtle pressure ensures that you experience a stress-free night and a refreshed day. We will explain how this works below. 

A double weighted blanket is described by our users as a subtle hug. The pressure on your body that you experience during this ‘hug’ causes your body to switch from the sympathetic nervous system to the parasympathetic nervous system. This is the so-called switch from ‘fight or flight’ to ‘rest and digest’.

In the ‘rest and digest’ mode, your body produces more happiness hormone (serotonin). This hormone ensures that you feel more relaxed and safe, resulting in less stress and a controlled flow of thoughts. Happiness hormone is naturally converted into sleep hormone (melatonin), which increases its production. 

It has been scientifically proven that with a double weighted blanket, you relax more easily, fall asleep faster, sleep deeper, and wake up refreshed.

Some people benefit more from a weighted blanket than others. We notice that especially people with the following complaints benefit extra from sleeping under a weighted blanket:

• Sleep problems
• Stress
• Autism
• Restless legs (RLS)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• High sensitivity (HSP)

As we described earlier, some people experience more effects from the double weighted blanket than others. We believe in the positive effects of a double weighted blanket. To convince you of these effects, you can always try our weighted blanket for 100 days for free. During this trial period, you can gradually get used to the blanket and experience the effects yourself. Over 90% of our customers continue to sleep under our double weighted blanket even after this trial period.

You can replace your current duvet with our double weighted blanket. For the best result, you should let the double weighted blanket rest directly on your body. This way, you experience the pressure best. A regular duvet is therefore no longer necessary.

You can also place the double weighted blanket on top of your current duvet. Mainly for a bit more warmth. As long as the weight rests on the body, you will notice the effects; even if there is an extra duvet in between.
