Scroll down to find a variation of the CURA-duvet that perfectly suits your needs, and learn more about the weighted duvet's effects, history and use.
WHAT IS IT?
A weighted duvet is just what the name suggests – a duvet with a heavy and weighted filling. The additional weight gives your body a comfortable and relaxing embrace when you lay down to rest.
It might sound a bit odd but let us go through the reasons why more and more people prefer a weighted version prior to their ordinary duvet.
EFFECTS OF THE WEIGHTED DUVET
Weighted duvets create pressure on the skin that feels similar to a soft embrace.
The pressure stimulates deep skin receptors and signals to our hormone system to produce and release feel-good hormones such as oxytocin.
The result includes deep relaxation and better sleep for the vast majority of users!

Choosing the right weight
The perfect weight of a weighted duvet can be very individual to achieve the best effect and comfort. Parameters like weight and height play an essential part, as well as stress, anxiety, worry and difficulty sleeping.
The basic rule is to choose a weight that you calculate from your own body weight. CURA of Sweden recommends that you choose a duvet equivalent to 10 – 15 % of your body weight. This is, however, just a recommendation.
WEIGHTED DUVETS FOR CHILDREN
Like adults, children may experience difficulty sleeping and have trouble coming to rest at night. They might feel uneasy or struggle with nightmares. A weighted duvet can help children relax, unwind and have a better quality of sleep
For many years, health care has prescribed weighted duvets as a sleep aid for children with neuropsychiatric disabilities, such as ADHD or autism. Studies have found that weighted duvets help children relax, unwind and increase sleep quality.
Pregnancy and weighted duvets
Feeling tired is something that many women experience during their pregnancy. Difficulty finding a sleeping position, nasal congestion or vivid dreams can all be disturbing factors that affect sleep. A weighted duvet can serve as a natural aid for deeper relaxation and better sleep.
WEIGHTED DUVETS IN HEALTHCARE
Weighted duvets have been used successfully in Swedish healthcare for nearly 15 years. The duvet has often been used to treat sleep problems for patients with neuropsychiatric disorders, severe pain or anxiety.
Today we know that the effects of using weighted duvets apply to almost all people, regardless of medical background and degree of sleep problems.
In addition, people who consider themselves to sleep well experience improved sleep when using a weighted duvet.
THE HISTORY
You might think that the use of heavy duvets is a new phenomenon. But in fact, people have used heavy duvets throughout most of our history.
Historically, people used heavy animal skins and straw mats when the night's chill made extra warmth necessary. And before the lightweight down duvets of the 195Os and the mass-produced, cost-effective fake fibre duvets of the 197Os, significantly heavier broadcloth duvets were most commonly used in households across Scandinavia.
