A weighted blanket works in two ways.
On the one hand, the weight of the blanket puts a certain pressure on the body, comparable with physical contact and a cuddle. This causes the body to release special hormones, creating a sense of tranquillity, relaxation and general well-being. This benefits older people with dementia and those with psychic disorders in particular.
Also, people with sleeping difficulties use a weighted blanket to sleep longer and deeper.
On the other hand, people who use a weighted blanket are less sensitive to external stimuli, allowing them to calm down, relax and concentrate.
The lap model is ideal for use when sitting down and in a wheelchair or is easily portable.
