Weighted blanket lap model coton - 4 kg.

The "Weighted Lap Blanket - 4 kg - Cotton" is designed for individuals seeking additional comfort and calmness, whether at home or on the go. This lap blanket, weighing 4 kg, is perfect for use while sitting, such as in a wheelchair, or when traveling. Its compact size makes it easy to carry, allowing you to benefit from its soothing effects anywhere.

The weighted lap blanket is made from a durable blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, with a fabric weight of 245 gr/m². The beige color exudes tranquility and simplicity, blending seamlessly into any environment. The filling consists of polished glass beads, 0.8 - 1 mm in size, made from recycled glass. These fine beads ensure an even distribution of weight, providing a subtle, consistent pressure on the body.

Originally from Scandinavia, weighted blankets have been used for years in healthcare to support individuals with dementia, mental health issues, or sleep problems. The gentle pressure exerted by the blanket on the body is comparable to a hug, leading to the release of hormones such as serotonin and melatonin. These hormones promote a sense of security and relaxation, which is particularly beneficial for elderly people with dementia and those who are sensitive to external stimuli.

The benefits of using a weighted blanket are twofold. Firstly, the pressure from the weight helps reduce anxiety and stress, leading to deeper relaxation and improved sleep. Secondly, the blanket makes the user less sensitive to external stimuli, resulting in enhanced concentration and overall calmness. Thanks to its versatile design, this lap blanket can also be worn as a shoulder piece or vest, making it an excellent choice for outdoor use.

This weighted blanket is not only functional but also environmentally conscious, with glass beads made from recycled glass. Additionally, it is easy to maintain according to the care instructions, ensuring it remains fresh and hygienic.
