Product Information

We might not buy a weighted blanket with the chief criteria being looks, but if we’re to happily use it often, it must suit the interiors of our home and match our tastes. If grey is your thing, most of the weighted blanket market has you covered, but for those who love a bit of colour or prints, Karmara is the brand for you. There are a number of reasons that it is important for us all to get a good night of sleep and a weighted blanket can help with achieving this. According to research, applying “firm, but gentle” pressure, otherwise known as deep touch pressure, stimulates our body's parasympathetic system. Wake up happy - the deep touch pressure stimulation of the blanket will help to ease you into a calming and restful sleep

A common question that we receive is how heavy should a weighted blanket be? The answer to this question depends entirely on the person using the blanket. Washable weighted blankets are the ones filled with glass beads, poly pellets, steel shot beads, or the ones entirely made from organic cotton. You can wash any of these by hand or in a washing machine (provided that they fit). Also, if they come with a removable cover – you can wash the cover in a washing machine, as well. So, when stimulated, the parasympathetic system lowers our blood pressure and pulse, slows down breathing, and increases the secretion of hormones like dopamine and serotonin promoting relaxation and calmness. If you are someone who doesn't think that you are getting enough sleep then don't worry, because you are certainly not alone.And if there isn't an exact match among the weight options, we'd generally suggest going under. So, if from the previous example you find the best weighted blanket on the market, it's better to get a 7kg weighted blanket than a 10kg weighted blanket. What to consider when buying the best weighted blanket

Most of the time, a cotton cover is going to be your safest option. Cotton covers and sheets typically have a high level of breathability, are soft to the touch, and aren't too expensive. Available in 3 sizes containing different weights means the weighted blanket is suitable for both adults and kids alike. Consult your physician for recommended blanket weight, although this is usually between 7-12% of your body weight. The 4kg blanket is ideal for children, whilst the 6kg and 8kg weight is suited to adults. Please note: this product should not be used by very young children, who are unable to move the blanket themselves. When looking for a weighted blanket, it’s important to know which features to look for. It’s not enough just to buy the first weighted blanket you come across. Many important features make up a good weighted blanket – like the weight, the material, how breathable it is etc.Weighted blankets are typically filled with thousands of tiny glass beads that apply light pressure to the user. This pressure can have a soothing, calming effect on the body, says Nichola Henderson, a holistic life, self-development coach and wellness specialist.
