Weighted blankets are becoming popular and have certainly demonstrated their value.
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.
It is also a popular aid for highly sensitive children, children suffering anxiety and/or behavioural disorders or concentration difficulties. Use of a weighted blanket reduces the level of stimuli in the body, giving a better sense of the body and reducing distraction from external stimuli. This helps them to relax, calm down and sleep better, allowing them to concentrate more effectively.
Thanks to its weight and pressure a weighted collar helps to ease the tension in your shoulders and neck, making you feel more like you are ‘in’ your body and improving concentration. Therefore, it has all the benefits of a weighted blanket, providing support in the daytime.
This shoulder piece can easily be worn under a jacket, allowing it to be used outside the home, e.g. at school.
