The Emma Hug weighted blanket was designed to give a calming hug to anyone who might need it. Anxiety is a common problem, both in the UK as well as the rest of the world and it often comes creeping upon us at nighttime, making it harder to fall asleep. According to an article in The Guardian, anxiety has skyrocketed in the UK over the past decade and another study✓ shows that the Covid-19 pandemic is not doing anything to improve those numbers.
The fear of not being able to fall asleep increases our anxiety and a vicious circle is easily created. Using a weighted blanket is only one step towards potentially calming anxiety but research✓ has shown that it can be an efficient method and with almost no risks associated with using a weighted blanket, it might be worth a try.
Although there aren't enough studies yet to say for sure that a weighted blanket could be helpful against insomnia, the weight could however reduce your tossing and turning at night and lead to a more qualitative sleep.
Emma Hug Weighted Blanket Construction
The Emma Hug weighted blanket has a clean and stylish design that fits most decors, so you could easily use it both in bed or when snuggling up on the couch in your living room. This weighted blanket contains 7 layers in total, starting with the two outer layers of soft and breathable cotton that can help to keep you cooler at night.
The following two layers are made of microfibre and polyester, added to enhance the softness and comfort of the blanket. They are also designed to safely keep the core layer in place and to evenly distribute the glass beads across the blanket in square pockets of 10x10 centimetres through skilful quilting.
The core layer, giving the weight to the Emma Hug weighted blanket, consists of less than 1mm big Silica glass beads. These are quiet and completely safe, providing an evenly distributed weight throughout the blanket.
Another interesting fact about the Emma Hug weighted blanket is that it is designed to be machine washable. However, the brand recommends that you use a blanket cover instead.
Important!
The weight of this blanket exceeds the weight limit on many household washing machines so make sure to double-check your limit before washing it.
