A weighted duvet or weighted blanket is just what the name suggests – a duvet with a weighted filling. The additional weight gives your body a comfortable and relaxing embrace when you lay down to rest. Many people prefer a weighted duvet prior to their ordinary duvet. Weighted duvets have been used in care and therapy for many years, to help relieve sleep difficulties.

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!

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.
