What is a Weighted Blanket?
Sitting at 3-5x times heavier than your regular duvet, a weighted blanket is proven to give you a deeper sleep and reduce your anxiety– you’ll fall asleep faster to waking up more refreshed too.
The Hush Blanket is engineered to be 10% of your body weight to relax the nervous system by simulating the feeling of being held or hugged.
This increases serotonin and melatonin levels while decreasing cortisol levels—improving your mood and promoting restful sleep at the same time. All without ever filling a prescription.

Positive Effects on Insomnia
This study from SciMedCentral found that sleep time increased while movement during sleep decreased when participants used a weighted blanket.
Participants found it easier to settle down, fall asleep, and felt more refreshed in the morning.
Reduced Anxiety in 63% of Patients
Several engineers and behavioural scientists study the safety of using a very heavy blanket.
The results were lower brain activity, lower anxiety, and 78% preferred the blanket as a calming method.
Deep Pressure Stimulation
The American Occupational Therapy Association studied the benefits of DTPS and has shown to occur even in short periods of being under a weight.
Sympathetic arousal decreased while parasympathetic arousal decreased. This led to improved performance on a test after being under the weight.

I have had anxiety and insomnia for years due to PTSD and this is the one thing that has calmed me enough to fall asleep. It truly does feel like a warm hug and the material is unbelievably soft. I am a person that does not really like being touched by other people so this has been amazing in that I can get the same feeling without that.
The package was delayed in getting to me and the quality of the blanket was overall good. There were a lot of stitching issues where it didn’t seem like it was hemmed well and parts of the hem were undone and the beads had come out.
Overall this blanket has been awesome with helping to calm me when I need it most. In fact my husband is planning on getting himself one because he keeps stealing this. I would recommend this highly for someone else like me.

This blanket is great for helping me fall asleep faster at night or take a short nap im the afternoon. It calms my body from restlessly moving. It also helps keep my husband from stealing the covers. This size blanket is roughly the size of a twin bed, so it works well for me to share a queen bed with my husband. No part of the blanket is in his side. It’s also very soft and comforting to the touch.

The fabric of this blanket is very soft and comfy and the weight does get me in a relaxed state faster than before but the quality is definitely lacking. I bought the 25 lb blanket and in less than a week some of the stitching is coming apart . There are beads from one square spilling into another. You would think for the weight and cost it , they would have at least used heavier thread or double stitched it but they didn’t and that is shame.

I love this blanket. I have had anxiety for several years now and I also have trouble sleeping. With this weighted blanket on the bed I feel safe, secure, and warm. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. I also like the gray color. Definitely recommend!

I’ve wanted to try this for so long and finally got one. It is filled with little pellets so needs to be hand washed. I can’t say enough about how calming this is. I have an extremely stressful job and at the end of the day I’ll take a few minutes to just sit under it and decompress. It’s super soft and doesn’t make you hot surprisingly. Then every night I carry it upstairs to bed. Best sleep I’ve had in a long time. I don’t usually have trouble falling asleep, but I often wake up several times a night. With my blanket I barely wake up at all before morning. My hubby calls it my wooby because I carry it downstairs every morning and back upstairs every night. LOL. Will have to buy abother soon. Love it!!!
