Health Benefits
Relieving Stress and Anxiety
Weighted blankets are proven to be highly effective in relieving stress and anxiety. The gentle pressure from the added weight mimics a therapeutic technique known as deep pressure stimulation, which soothes the nervous system and creates a feeling of safety and security. This can be especially helpful for individuals with anxiety disorders, ADHD, or those who simply have difficulty winding down after a long day. Additionally, the calming effect of weighted blankets can benefit children and adults with sensory processing disorders or autism.
Improving Sleep Quality
Weighted blankets can significantly benefit those with insomnia and sleep disorders. By promoting the production of serotonin and melatonin, these blankets encourage a more restful night's sleep. The pressure from the blanket helps you fall asleep faster, reduces night awakenings, and improves overall sleep quality, leaving you feeling more refreshed in the morning.
Certified Quality and Safety
All Lounge Pug weighted blankets are Standard 100% Oeko-Tex certified, ensuring that they are free from harmful substances and safe for you and your family. This certification guarantees that every component of our blankets, from the fabric to the thread and even the dyes, meets strict ecological and health standards. You can rest easy knowing that your blanket is not only beneficial for your health but also environmentally friendly.
Choosing the Right Weighted Blanket
When selecting a weighted blanket, it’s important to choose the correct weight. The general recommendation is to choose a blanket that is approximately 10% of your body weight. For children, it’s crucial to ensure the blanket is not too heavy, as it can be overwhelming and counterproductive. Lounge Pug offers weighted blankets in various weights and sizes, making it easy to find the ideal option for every member of your family.
Using your Weighted Blanket for the First Time
Get the best experience of your weighted blanket by gradually increasing the usage.
1. Start Slowly: Place the weighted blanket over your current duvet, covering just your legs for the first few days.
2. Increase Coverage: Gradually cover half your body for another week. Use it for short periods to adjust to the weight.
3. Full Use: Once comfortable, remove your current duvet and cover yourself completely with the weighted blanket. We recommend using just the Lounge Pug weighted blanket and a top sheet.
4. Adjusting Period: Allow 14-21 days to adjust to a better, deeper night's sleep.
