Weighted Blankets
WHY Calm Knight Weighted Blankets?
REDUCES STRESS AND ANXIETY
According to research, weighted blankets use deep pressure stimulation to replicate the feeling of being held or comfortably swaddled. Your body will increase production of endorphins such as serotonin and oxytocin and also decrease nervousness and stress hormones including cortisol and norepinephrine.
IMPROVES SLEEP
Studies have shown that the effect of a weighted blanket is a deeper, more restful sleep. Perhaps the best evidence comes from this study published in 2015 in the Journal of Sleep Medicine and Disorders.
QUALITY GUARANTEE
Calm Knight Weighted Blankets are made with pure, breathable cotton, and are available in 5 different colors: white, black, grey, red or navy blue.
Each weighted blanket is divided into multiple square pockets for equal weight distribution, and is filled with non toxic glass beads. Our wonderful tailor then creates your blanket based on your custom weight (10% of your body weight), creating a customized-to-you weighted blanket, made specifically for you or your child.
Every blanket is handmade according to your individual preferences (preferred size, color and weight), with pure cotton and non toxic glass beads. The blanket is tightly stitched with uniform sized squares that evenly distribute weight across your blanket and body.
Calm Knight Weighted Blankets was born out of my concern for a lack of human touch during our new normal of social distancing. As well as the impact that a Covid diagnosis/post Covid life can have on a good night’s sleep. Children and teens are struggling with sleep because of return to school worries, negative thoughts and feeling hopeless about many out-of-our-control realities. It is not easy for you to find real solutions to all of this. And in the process, you too are losing sleep because of tossing and turning each night.
As this Times article explains, touch deprivation can impact people on a psychological and even physical level. “Big parts of our brains are devoted to making sense of touch and our skin has billions of cells that process information about it. The right type of friendly touch—like hugging your partner or linking arms with a dear friend—calms your stress response down. [Positive] touch activates a big bundle of nerves in your body that improves your immune system, regulates digestion and helps you sleep well. It also activates parts of your brain that help you empathize.”
The weighted blanket is backed by science in that deep pressure stimulation offered by the weight of the blanket, can provide a solution to this as we work our way back to more healthy touch and ways to calm down our bodies again. Between the rushed lifestyle and pressure of work, fitting in at school, and the constant busy mind of an over thinker, our sleep patterns are all over the place. Home has become less of a sanctuary and more of a work space for the whole family. A lack of sleep can have powerful negative effects on cognitive functioning, emotional moods and wellbeing and physical health too.
Often, a modern solution to anything in this day and age is based in technology. This solution is an all natural one. No technology and no toxic materials involved! Sleep is the single most effective thing you can do to rest your overstimulated brain and body each day. Give yourself and your loved ones the best shot at:
* immediately being able to fall back asleep again
* having enough daily energy and tolerance for work and life pressure
* stopping avoiding going to bed and actually look forward to it again
* knowing you will have proper sleep no matter how active you were in your day
* looking forward to whatever comes next, because you’re back on track with living a healthy and balanced life
Help your brain and body get the proper sleep you need, so that you can easily get through next-day work pressures and life challenges without feeling drained and exhausted, and like you have enough energy for the day ahead.

Please ask us any questions you may have as you make your decision. I highly recommend you do your own research to see if it is a good investment for you. I will also happily take on any further research you need about weighted blankets for your condition too.
Any one using the blanket needs to be able to move freely whilst doing so. If for any reason, a blanket may restrict movement for a child or frail adult, then it is best to avoid this option at this time.
There are 3 sizes to choose from:
Individual Adult Size: 90cm x 190cm
Individual Child Size: 90cm x 120cm
Custom Size: made to your specific requirements.
***The weight of the weighted blanket is to be evenly distributed across the body and not the bed. This is why the weighted blanket is individualized to the body (90cm in width) and not to the bed.
Typically, we recommend going with 10% body weight, plus or minus 0.5kgs. Note: most research articles are based off of 10% body weight blankets.
Calm Knight weighted blankets are made with pure cotton, and we advise that they be washed in cold water (as hot water might result in shrinking) and mild detergent.
It is best to hand wash the blanket, but feedback from others is that our blankets have also been washed on the hand wash machine cycle without any complications. As long as your washing machine can take the weight. Air dry on/over a washing rack. Do not tumble dry.
Typically, you will receive your blanket within 7 days of purchase and proof of payment. With current climate and supplier availability, this can vary. We will stay in contact with you the whole way about the production and delivery of your blanket.
Absolutely! If you’d like a lap blanket, or a specific sized full body blanket, we can do it for you.
