Is all the hype about Weighted blankets true? What are weighted Blankets? Do they work to reduce stress and anxiety? The underlying science on weighted blankets is called deep touch pressure (DTP). DTP refers to gently applying pressure to the body to increase the release of Serotonin. Serotonin is a chemical in the body that promotes relaxation and the feel-good emotions.
Not sure what a weighted blanket feels like? Then come into our store, the Camellia, to try one out.
We have 7lb. 10lb. and 12lb. blankets in kid's sizes, filled with non toxic, lead-free glass beads, and you throw the whole blanket in the wash. We stock grey blankets, but you can order other colours as long as you order by the 15th. of each month.
We also have 15 lb. and 20 lb. blankets in adult sizes with a removable, washable, cover. The general rule is the blanket should be about 10% of the person's body weight.
We are sleeping under a weighted blanket, and it really does help you sleep better.
Buy weighted Blankets at The Camellia, at 30/32 Hacquoil Rd.
Open Wed. through Sunday.
