About this deal
Like all Bearaby blankets, the Nappling is made using a layer upon layer design rather than the usual weighted bead design. This improves breathability and allows for a more even weight distribution throughout the blanket. This blanket is made from 100% organic cotton, which is a material known for its durability, breathability, and softness.
The Silk & Snow Knit Weighted Blanket stands apart from many competitors with its open construction and excellent cooling properties. While traditional weighted blankets are designed like duvets filled with glass or plastic pellets, this model is composed of knit yarns that are both soft and breathable. The open knit design also ensures even weight distribution. Although this is not always the case, some heavier weighted blankets are wider and/or longer than their lighter counterparts. Most weighted blankets are designed for single person use, so twin is the most common size offered by manufacturers. A common size for larger weighted blankets is 60 inches wide by 80 inches long, which corresponds to a queen size mattress. Deep pressure stimulation can also come from garments such as weighted vests. One study also reported psychiatric assistance dogs often provide deep pressure stimulation to help owners. Where to find a weighted blanket and how much they cost
How we tested
A 2016 study experimented with using weighted blankets on participants undergoing wisdom tooth extraction. The weighted blanket participants experienced lower anxiety symptoms than the control group.
We might not buy a weighted blanket with the chief criteria being looks, but if we’re to happily use it often, it must suit the interiors of our home and match our tastes. If grey is your thing, most of the weighted blanket market has you covered, but for those who love a bit of colour or prints, Karmara is the brand for you. The general rule is to start with a weighted blanket that is about 10 per cent of your body weight, says Henderson. “So, someone of 11 stone, 154lbs, would use a blanket with a weight of around 15lbs. This is recommended only as a guide; preferred weights can vary between 5 per cent to 12 per cent of a person’s weight. Weighted blankets are known for using gentle weight to promote a sense of calmness or relaxation using deep touch pressure stimulation. The sensation of being hugged, swaddled, or gently held may produce a sense of calmness. A weighted blanket may also help you feel safe, secure, or in a protected space, which can be a powerful agent for relaxation, especially before bed (it may make it easier to fall asleep).”
What is the purpose of a weighted blanket?
Organic cotton and rayon derived from bamboo are highly breathable materials, and the blanket contains glass bead fill for added temperature neutrality. These components make the blanket suitable for people who sleep hot or live in warmer climates, but the cover is also cozy enough for cold weather. One side of the cover has a fleecy texture, while the other is silky-smooth.
