Weighted blankets

A weighted blanket is an effective therapeutic tool that, according to the latest scientific research, naturally helps improve sleep quality. When covered with a weighted blanket, not only does your body relax, but so does your nervous system—stress is reduced, and it becomes easier to fall asleep and reach deep sleep.

Savashome weighted blankets are filled with tiny glass beads that give the blanket its distinctive weight. These beads are placed in separate pockets to ensure even distribution throughout the blanket, creating a pleasant and consistent pressure across the entire body.

Frequently asked questions

What is a weighted blanket?

A weighted blanket, also known as a heavy blanket, is a special type of blanket filled with small weight particles (such as glass beads, plastic pellets, or stones) and typically weighs from about 4 kg up to 15 kg or more. It distributes weight evenly across the body, providing gentle, constant pressure.

How does a weighted blanket work?

A weighted blanket uses what is known as Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS), which provides gentle, even pressure to the body. This effect works in the following ways:

Proprioceptive input
– The weight of the blanket stimulates sensory receptors in the skin and muscles, helping the body better perceive its position in space (proprioception).

Calming the nervous system
– DPS activates the parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) nervous system, reducing the intensity of the sympathetic (“fight or flight”) response.
– As a result, levels of the stress hormone cortisol and blood pressure decrease, and the body transitions more quickly into a state of rest.

Hormonal balance support
– Serotonin and dopamine: increased release improves mood and creates an overall sense of well-being.
– Melatonin: by reducing stress, the blanket indirectly promotes the production of the sleep hormone, making it easier to fall asleep and supporting deeper sleep.

Muscle relaxation
– Even pressure acts like a gentle massage, reducing muscle tension, improving circulation, and easing discomfort.

Practical results
– For most users, this means falling asleep faster, fewer nighttime awakenings, and calmer, more restorative sleep.

Tip: start with a lighter blanket (around 10% of your body weight) and, if it feels comfortable, move to a slightly heavier one after a few nights. If you experience discomfort, it’s always advisable to consult a healthcare professional.

What are the benefits of a weighted blanket?

Deeper sleep: helps you fall asleep faster and reduces nighttime awakenings.
Stress reduction: promotes a sense of relaxation and may help reduce anxiety.
Muscle relaxation: even pressure acts like a gentle massage, helping to relax tense muscles.
Improved circulation: the pressure stimulates blood flow.

What does a weighted blanket suit everyone?

For most people, yes, but it’s advisable to consult a doctor before use if you have:

Respiratory conditions (asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).

Circulatory problems (e.g., deep vein thrombophlebitis).

Severe joint or muscle issues.

Other serious health conditions.

How to choose the right weight for a weighted blanket?

The recommended weight is approximately 10% of your body weight (e.g., if you weigh 70 kg, a weighted blanket of about 7 kg).
10–12% provides moderate pressure.
If you prefer stronger pressure or sleep very restlessly: 12–15%.
Start with a lighter weight and, after assessing how it feels, move to a heavier one if needed.

What materials are weighted blankets made from?

Fabric: ultra-soft microfiber or special soft-shell fabrics.

Filling: glass beads (produce the least noise), plastic pellets, or natural stone chips.

How to care for and clean a weighted blanket?

Cover: in many models, the zippered cover can be washed separately at 40 °C.

Filling: should not be washed—only aired out and lightly cleaned with minimal moisture, or vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.

Drying: dry the cover in a dryer on a low setting or air-dry, according to the label instructions.

Do weighted blankets have side effects?

At first, you may feel excessive pressure or unusual warmth—try using it for shorter periods.

An unsuitable weight can cause discomfort or joint pain.

In rare cases, it may cause restless breathing or skin irritation if you do not tolerate the materials.
