Senior Calming Blanket

Weighted blanket for comfort and security

From the time you were swaddled as a baby to even now when you pull the covers up and snuggle in, you’ve been finding comfort and satisfaction in the weight of warm cover on your body. Now, double or triple down on the weight of that cover and you may find the comforting sensation gets even better.

It has been shown that weighted blankets can soothe, reduce stress and promote relaxation. The blanket weight provides a deep-pressure touch that can release feel-good hormones from the brain, as well as increase levels of serotonin and melatonin, which help with falling asleep and staying asleep.

Anxiety and stressful thoughts can make sleep almost impossible. This weighted blanket was designed especially for seniors, to promote a calm, comfortable night’s sleep—but it’s not just for sleep: Use it anytime. It’s weighted but not heavy enough to be oppressive, just enough to be reassuring. It’s luxuriously soft, breathable and plush. Precision-stitched squares hold in place tiny microbeads and distribute their weight equally throughout the blanket. Available in three weights: 10, 15 and 20 lbs--choose size based on your body weight. The general rule of thumb for choosing blanket weight is for it to be approximately 10 percent of the user's body weight.
