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.

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.
