Medical research has shown that deep pressure stimulation: an even gentle pressure applied across the body, triggers the production of serotonin, often referred to as the happy hormone; whist simultaneously reducing levels of cortison (the stress hormone) and boosting levels of melatonin, helping you achieve a deep calm.

This calm state leads to deeper sleep cycles, helping you to achieve satisfying rest and wake up feeling fresh and revitalised.

Our weighted duvet is made carefully by hand, our special Weightex fabric is enclosed between layers of cotton wadding to add warmth and a luxurious, breathable cotton outer fabric.

Our weighted duvets fit inside a standard single duvet cover, we recommend washing the cover rather than the duvet for the longevity of your item.

Our weighted duvet is designed for a single person and comes in 2 different weights:

• 8 kg | 17 lbs

• 10 kg | 20 lbs

Your duvet should be roughly 10% - 15% of your body weight (i.e 60 kg body weight = 8 kg blanket).

If you're between weights, we recommend you go with the heavier weight. For example an 90 kg user would be best suited to a 10 kg blanket.

The Duvet comes in two different thicknesses:

• Light - Perfect for hotter sleepers, equivalent to 2-5 tog

• Medium - A great all rounder, equivalent to 5-8 tog

 Since our duvets are made by hand, there may be a small variation in weight. They measure 135 x 200 cm.
