The Science Behind Weighted Blankets: How They Help Reduce Stress

Weighted blankets are more than just cozy—they're a scientifically-backed tool for relaxation. By applying gentle, even pressure, these blankets mimic the calming effects of a hug, a method known as deep-pressure stimulation.

This stimulation increases serotonin and melatonin levels, which are crucial for mood regulation and sleep, while lowering cortisol, the stress hormone. Whether you’re managing anxiety, insomnia, or sensory processing disorders, a weighted blanket offers a natural solution.

At ColeyBear, our chunky knit weighted blankets take relaxation to the next level with a breathable, stylish design. Available in various weights and colors, they’re perfect for anyone looking to create a calming space at home.
