What is Deep Touch Pressure?

Similar to a massage Deep Touch Pressure applies pressure through compression that hugs and relaxes your muscles. This stimulates your body’s ‘rest and digest’ system calming your mind and body which reduces tension and primes you for sleep both physically and mentally.

This technique has been shown to increase the release of dopamine and serotonin (the ‘happy hormones’) by around 30% and decreasing the stress hormone cortisol by the same amount. This allows melatonin the sleep hormone to be produced so you sleep easier.

Who can benefit from weighted blankets?

They can help anyone who has trouble sleeping at night or to help deal with physical and mental stress throughout the day..

Weighted blankets are great for soothing mental and physical tension. That’s why they were originally developed for people with sensory disorders like autism, sleep disorders and nervous disorders.

Their ability to relax and calm have now made them a mainstream hit.

What’s the difference between a kid and adult weighted blanket?

Weighted blankets should be proportional to the weight of the user which is why kids blankets are lighter. Adult blankets range from 5.5kg to 11kg and are available in single, double or king sizes.

They are intended for adult use only so do not leave your child or pet unattended.

Kids blankets are available in single size and weigh 2-4 kg.

All blankets are weighted with tiny quartz glass pellets which cocoon and mould around your body. These pellets are blended with a plush filler and are encased in 100% ultra-soft cotton.

What weight and size should I choose?

Weight:

It is recommended to choose a blanket that is between 8-12% of your bodyweight. If this overlaps between different weights then it is down to your preference.

Some people may want a very light pressure outside the 8-12% range and others a heavier pressure.

Size:

Weighted blankets are designed to be used by 1 person only. The sizes are based on your mattress size NOT your duvet so they may be a little smaller than expected. You could use a single, double or king size weighted blanket on any mattress but it may look better draped over your bed when matched with your bed size.

How should I use my blanket?

Every blanket is designed for individual use for optimal weight distribution in order to maximise deep pressure therapy. Therefore couples should have individual blankets.

Using your blanket:

It’s pretty simple! Lie in your bed or wherever you are relaxing and place the blanket so its over your whole body.

You can use the weighted blanket on its own. If you want you can use it with your existing blanket placing it on-top or underneath. Using it ourselves we feel the pressure therapy is more powerful with the weighted blanket in contact directly with the body.

To double the weight in any area you can fold the blanket in half.

Pets:

We love cuddling up with our pets. Just be aware that despite Mela’s high quality fabrics they aren’t bite or claw-proof

Protecting your blanket:

Keep the blanket away from direct sources of heat which can damage the glass pellets inside the blanket.

Can I use the weighted blanket?
