Description
Our Wilhelmina weighted blanket combines a good night’s sleep with a healing and therapeutic experience. The weight of the duvet is evenly distributed over the body, simulating an embrace, which increases the production of serotonin and melatonin – the natural hormones of happiness and sleep. The effect is called Deep Pressure Tissue Stimulation (DPST). This results in a deeper and more restorative sleep, while it can reduce sleep disturbances and help you wake up refreshed and energized. The pressure can also help promote feelings of relaxation and reduce anxiety levels. Wilhelmina is made of the highest quality and can definitely be seen as a premium choice in the field of weighted blankets.
Choosing the weight of the duvet
The weight distribution is even kilos i.e. 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 kg and the recommendation for best use and efficacy is between 10-15% of body weight, where studies demonstrate therapeutic efficacy. In this way, the blanket envelops your body and acts as a touch, lowering the level of the stress hormone cortisol while the feel-good hormone oxytocin and the sleep hormone melatonin seem to increase.
