In this article, we answer this question and many other questions we receive about weighted blankets. A weighted blanket is becoming increasingly popular because the effects are experienced as very positive. But we completely understand that there are questions about the use and functioning of a weighted blanket.
If you want to improve your sleep, for example because you find it difficult to fall asleep, hard to sleep deeply, or stay asleep, a weighted blanket can help you with that. When you lie awake all night worrying and therefore sleep poorly, you generally go through life unhappier. A weighted blanket helps you live healthier and happier. But what exactly is a weighted blanket?

Watch the above video from RTL4, where we explain how a weighted blanket works
A weighted blanket is, as the name suggests, a blanket that is weighted. An average duvet weighs between 200 grams and 1 kilogram, whereas weighted blankets weigh between 2 and 15 kilograms. The reason you sleep better because of this has everything to do with the scientific principle Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS).
Have you ever woken up on a cold morning under that wonderful, warm winter duvet? Then you have experienced what Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS) entails. DPS is the firm but gentle holding or hugging of the body, which relaxes your nervous system. Your body essentially surrenders to the comfort and warmth you are experiencing at that moment.
DPS is also exactly the reason why the Novaline weighted blankets work! Due to the continuous, pleasant pressure you experience on your body, your body switches to relaxation mode. This makes it easier to fall asleep, sleep more deeply, and wake up feeling relaxed.
In a nutshell, your nervous system has two modes: the “flight or fight” mode or the “rest and digest” mode. The scientific terms for these are sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and parasympathetic nervous system (PNS).
If you need to stay alert in a stressful situation and make the right choices, your body switches to the "flight and fight" mode. This is the natural way for your body to cope well with this situation.
If you have a busy, stressful life, your body has difficulty switching to the "rest and digest" mode, which can cause anxiety, stress, restlessness, and insomnia.
With a Novaline weighted blanket, your body is stimulated to switch to the "rest and digest" mode. This is due to the scientifically proven principle Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS). This helps a weighted blanket to relax you and fall asleep wonderfully.

Deep sleep ensures you wake up rested.

A weighted blanket is a solution for people with sleep problems. The blanket with extra weight is intended for both adults and children who have trouble sleeping.

You use a weighted blanket to relax. You can do this in, for example, the following ways:
Your weighted blanket is filled with tiny glass beads with a diameter of 1mm. These glass beads are distributed over individual sections in the blanket, ensuring they stay perfectly in place. The glass beads are hygienic, washable, silent, cool, and breathable. This makes it the optimal filling for your weighted blanket.
The rest of the blanket is made of 100% antibacterial, comfortable, and breathable cotton that keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer. The combination of these materials makes them perfect for a wonderful weighted blanket to sleep comfortably under or just to relax on the couch.
