9 Sustainable Weighted Blankets Made With Organic Materials
The Best Weighted Blankets Of 2022
Anxiety, stress, overthinking, tension—there’s a lot going on in the world right now. We get it. For many of us, these overwhelming concerns mean struggling to sleep or getting the rest that our bodies need.
Current medical practices suggest weight can be used to help with this, or more specifically, weighted blankets. Much like deep touch pressure therapy, these weighted blankets encourage the release of serotonin (and its byproduct melatonin), which in turn reduces cortisol levels, leaving us feeling calmer and more content. It’s like a hug for our entire body.
Wrap yourself in these soft, sustainable, and organic weighted blankets for better sleep and relaxation this year. And while revamping your bedtime routine, check out our guides to organic sheets, snuggly & sustainable pajamas, soft comforters, and organic mattresses.
