Warm, cozy, and reassuringly comfortable. You can use this blanket on either the soft plush side for warmer days or have the fluffy side keep you extra snuggly. Studies show that a weighted blanket like this one can help you sleep for longer and more deeply with fewer interruptions, and wake feeling more refreshed. This blanket's gentle all-over pressure mimics a subtle human hug, applying something called deep touch pressure therapy (DTP) to your body to keep you still and calm. This pressure increases the serotonin and dopamine levels in your brain, relaxing your nervous system to help reduce anxiety and stress. The blanket is specifically designed to fit your body, not to drape over your bed, so it can be used on any size of the mattress.
