1. Fights Insomnia

Research on the effectiveness of weighted blankets on insomnia is steadily mounting, and the findings are promising. In a recent study, it was revealed that weighted blankets alleviated insomnia in patients diagnosed with psychiatric disorders. The Swedish researchers who conducted the study found improved sleep, reduced sleepiness, greater activity levels during daytime hours, as well as a reduction in the severity of insomnia in patients who used a weighted blanket for sleep.

2. Reduces Anxiety

The gentle full-body pressure of the Bearaby Cotton Napper creates a hug-like sensation to harness the therapeutic power of deep touch pressure (DTP). DTP brings about its soothing, stress-relieving benefits by lowering cortisol levels, supercharging serotonin levels and helping your body produce more melatonin naturally. Restoring body and mind to this relaxed state eases anxiety. Resting under weight helps you feel calmer to ultimately let you fall asleep easier and stay asleep longer.

3. Improves Mood

If tossing and turning at night is taking its toll on your daytime demeanor, a weighted blanket may help improve your mood. The natural serotonin-boosting effects of sleeping under weight help you rest deeper and wake up feeling refreshed. If it’s stress making you moody, the Cotton Napper also helps curb high cortisol levels. We’ve all experienced the crankiness that comes from having a restless night, and it’s no secret that irritability and sleep deprivation go hand in hand. But, rest assured, sleeping under a knitted weighted blanket can help put the spring back in your step.

4. Relieves pain

The therapeutic full-body pressure of the Cotton Napper can alleviate pain and boost general wellbeing — all while you’re sleeping. Keeping in mind that pain is a personal path and the remedies that work for one person may not have the same effect on another, chronic pain often comes with high cortisol, reduced serotonin, and lackluster sleep. Weighted blankets provide an easy-to-use and natural way to tackle these troubles and help you rest easier.

Before buying this blanket I used to wake up 2-3 times during the night. From the first night using it, I’ve slept continuously, all the way through. This blanket works like magic.
