1. THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING

This is the one gift that truly keeps on giving.

The benefits of using a weighted blanket are endless and can last a lifetime. 

 

2. IT’S THERAPEUTIC

The soothing effect of a weighted blanket can create a more comfortable environment for falling asleep by imitating the feeling of being swaddled tightly in bed. This close physical connection provides a sense of warmth and safety, making it easier for the body to relax.

Therapists and doctors around the world continue to recommend the use of weighted therapy to their patients.

 

3. THE PERFECT TRAVEL COMPANION

Roll it up in your suitcase and use it on the flight back home, or pack it in your car boot for your drive home to replenish, rejuvenate and recover your muscles from doing all those touristy things you got up to on your holiday. Not to mention getting that much needed rest when you finally reach your destination.

 

4. CALMS YOUR KIDS

We all know what our kids are like at family gatherings over the festive season.

If your kids are anything like ours and they’re around their cousins and aunties they haven’t seen since last Christmas, things can get a bit busy…

All it takes is too many chocolate truffles or that extra bowl of Christmas pudding to send them into overdrive.

A weighted blanket will help calm their minds and bodies at the end of a busy day of playing, nibbling, video games and all the other activities they struggle to switch off from when it’s time to go to bed.

 

5. WHO DOESN’T WANT HUGS FOR CHRISTMAS?

Both hugs and heavy blankets trigger the release of oxytocin, a hormone that slows down your heart rate, reduces blood pressure, and promotes feelings of relaxation.

Hugs boost your heart health, may protect you against illness and help relieve your pain. Read more about the proven benefits of hugging here.

And let’s face it, young or old,  a nice, warm hug makes all the difference at Christmas time.
