Weighted duvet
With our high-quality Wilhelmina weighted blanket, you'll get a good night's sleep with a therapeutic experience to help you unwind. The deep pressure provided by the weighted blanket gives off a pleasant enveloping feeling and instills calm, promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety levels.
Why a weighted duvet?
A weighted duvet is designed to provide an even distribution of weight across the body and is often used by people who want to increase their relaxation and improve sleep quality. In the past, weighted duvets (usually ball and chain blankets) were used in healthcare for patients with severe sleeping difficulties or as part of treatment for ADHD and other NPF diagnoses. Nowadays, the weighted duvet is marketed - and not least used - by all sorts of people. From those who suffer from major sleep problems, to those who "just" want more relaxation at bedtime.
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. This results in a deeper and more restorative sleep, while it can reduce sleep disturbances and help you wake up refreshed and energized.

Advantages of the weighted duvet
Increased security and peace of mind: weighted duvets provide a pressure over the body that can feel calming and reassuring. Many people describe it as a hug or embrace, which can help reduce feelings of anxiety and stress.
Improved sleep quality: weighted duvets can help promote deeper and more restful sleep. The pressure from the duvet can increase the production of serotonin (the body's 'happy hormone') and reduce the production of the stress hormone cortisol.
Reduced discomfort in sleep disorders: People with sleep disorders, including some forms of insomnia and anxiety-related sleep problems, have reported benefits from using weighted duvets to relieve discomfort and improve sleep quality.
Support for sensory processing problems: For some people with sensory processing problems, such as those with autism or ADHD, weighted duvets can provide a sense of stability and help regulate sensory input.
Relief of stress and anxiety: The pressure of a weighted blanket can help reduce stress, worry and anxiety by promoting relaxation and a sense of security.
Choosing the weight of your weighted duvet
Weight distribution in the duvet Wilhelmina is even kilos i.e. 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 kg and the recommendation for best use and effect is between 10-15% of body weight. This way, the duvet envelops your body and acts as a touch, lowering the level of the stress hormone cortisol. Instead, the calming feel-good hormones are secreted oxytocin and serotonin to help you settle down for a night's undisturbed sleep.
However, the right weight is individual and 10-15% of body weight should only be seen as a guideline.
It is important to note that the effects of a weighted duvet can vary between individuals, and it is not a one-size-fits-all solution. People with certain medical conditions or breathing problems should consult a health professional before using a weighted duvet.
