How does a Weighted Blanket work? What are the benefits of using a Kocoono weighted blanket?

The concept of Kocoono weighted blankets (also known as gravity blankets or anti-anxiety blankets) is based on the science-backed method called Deep Touch Pressure Therapy, which is a firm but gentle pressure applied to the body, similar to a hug, which helps calm your Nervous System. Kocoono Blanket touches all your pressure points, relaxing your muscles and helping you fall into a deeper, faster and better quality sleep.

Who might benefit from a weighted blanket

Weighted blankets have become a routine part of stress relief and healthy sleep habits for many people. There are some health conditions or situations where a Kocoono weighted blanket can be very helpful. Still, the person doesn't need to have any health condition or sleep difficulties to benefit from a gravity blanket. For anyone who wants to boost overall well-being and values natural methods and products made ethically, Kocoono will be the dream gift.

A Kocoono™ Weighted Blanket can be a meaningful gift if you know someone with:

1) Anxiety and/or Stress

One of the most common uses of a calming blanket is for reducing stress and anxiety. Most of our customer's reviews are based on how relaxed they feel under their Kocoono. When using Kocoono they will feel as if someone is hugging them, giving you the same calming effects of a hug. 

By providing Deep Touch Pressure Therapy, Kocoono blankets trigger the dopamine and serotonin release naturally (the "happy hormones" produced in the brain). These hormones provide a calming effect that helps combat anxiety.

2) Insomnia or Sleep difficulties

Kocoono™ Weighted Blankets combined with sleep hygiene practices can help you fall asleep. The Deep Touch pressure Therapy applied by the weight of a Kocoono™ Blanket activates your parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) immediately, slowing your heart rate and making you feel embraced and calm. calm.

3) Autism

Sleep difficulties and anxiety are the main reasons that lead parents with autistic children from Ireland and the UK to contact us seeking advice. The feedback after using Kocoono is very positive and is based on how Kocoono helps them calm their anxiety and feel secure. 

Many people with an autism spectrum disorder struggle with sensory processing disorder, and that can create anxiety and problems sleeping. 

The pressure of Kocoono Weighted Blankets can provide great sensory input. You can learn more about how the Kocoono blanket can help someone with Autism in this blog.

4) Depression

 Kocoono Weighted Blankets can help people with depression reduce anxiety symptoms. By helping to fight anxiety and improve quality sleep, Kocoono Blankets can help reduce the symptoms of depression in combination with a doctor's recommendations or other health care professionals.

Kocoono Blankets stimulate the pressure points with their weight, mimicking a comforting hug that might trigger the serotonin release naturally, which are feel-good hormones produced in the brain. These hormones help combat stress, anxiety, and depression.

 5) Chronic Pain

A Kocoono weighted blanket can help manage chronic pains by giving you restorative sleep. From our experience talking to our customers with chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia or Osteoarthritis, we know that the pain directly affects their quality of sleep, and poor sleep worsens the symptoms, so here is where Kocoono Weighted Blankets can help. We are not designed to have persistent pain, so our nervous system is overstimulated when we have it. When someone has persistent pain, it switches on the sympathetic nervous system, disturbing sleep and mood and causing anxiety. The Kocoono Weighted Blankets can help calm your Nervous System with deep pressure stimulation.
