About weighted blankets

Weighted blankets are a scientifically proven solution to improve your sleep. They have been used for over 15 years to support people with autism syndrom, anxiety, and OCD because they help our nervous system to relax. They also are a natural weapon against sleep disorders like insomnia.

Weighted blankets have been scientifically proven to provide a much better sleep quality to the average sleeper. By increasing the number of hours slept and reducing the number of movements during the night you will feel less stressed and anxious during the day, while also noticing an overall increase in happiness and energy.

You will also regain that "ah-a!" feeling of sleeping well.

Recommended by doctors and specialists

Weighted blankets are natural alternatives to anxiolytics, sleeping pills and supplements that "help" us sleep better. They have been used for over 15 years to treat disorders such as autism, obsessive-compulsive disorder (“OCD”), ADD and anxiety.

Studies show that 88% of weighted blanket users reported a significant improvement in their sleep quality. More than 50% of people who had chronic insomnia recovered from it with the help of a weighted blanket.

How does it work?

blanky uses DTP (“Deep touch pressure” - or what many call "a massage") to apply localized pressure on your muscles. This is what makes your body relax whilst helping it produce a series of "beneficial" hormones. It is the combination of these two effects, which are scientifically proven, that improves sleep quality and decreases stress and anxiety.
