The Summer Slow Down: International Self-Care Day

In celebration of International Self-Care Day, we invite you to breathe deep, slow down, and enter a summer state of mind: one that explores the calm of lazy days and the pleasure of taking care of ourselves and our planet.

Self-Care Done Simply

At Bearaby, we believe that sleep is the simplest form of self-care, and that everyone deserves it, naturally and easily.

While we may be a bit biased, our favorite way to slow down and practice self-care is by cozying up under a weighted blanket. By increasing the body’s production of the “happy” hormone, Serotonin, and decreasing the body’s “stress hormone,” Cortisol, weighted blankets can help calm you down and leave you feeling less anxious and more relaxed.

A Summer Sanctuary

Many weighted blankets are made with artificial fillers and synthetic fabrics, making them unbreathable and unsustainable. That’s why we created the Tree Napper, a cooling weighted blanket made from natural eucalyptus fibers designed to help you sleep better and feel calmer during sticky summer months.

This year, we introduced four new nature-inspired shades as a part of our Summer Collection. Drawing inspiration from treetop flowers, sun-kissed patios and lush riverbanks. Our new Tree Nappers, available in Rosewood, Magnolia, Terracotta, and Willow, help you create a serene summer sanctuary filled with self-care.

Purposeful Practice

Whether you choose to read, relax, rest, or recharge, we hope you take the time to give back to yourself today and practice a purposeful moment of self care.

A calming layer is its own kind of self-care. The Cocoon Muslin Blanket brings a soft, lofty, gently weighted drape to lounging and rest, in breathable organic cotton gauze that soothes without overheating — ideal for a slow morning, an afternoon reset, or unwinding before bed.
