Ocean Napper

Science shows that sleeping under weight improves sleep quality, lowers stress, and eases anxiety – and when those things are better, everything’s better!

Here’s a breakdown of the science that lies underneath our cozy and calming Nappers:

• Activates the effects of Deep Touch Pressure (DTP)
  • Increases serotonin to make you feel happier and more content
  • Increases melatonin to lull you into blissful slumber
  • Decreases cortisol to help reduce anxiety and stress
• Mimics the effects of ‘grounding’ or ‘earthing’
• Mimics the sensation of a warm hug

The most significant health benefits of weighted blankets include improved sleep and reduced feelings of anxiety and stress.

The benefit of a heavy knit blanket is the even weight distribution, which helps to extend the comfort of Deep Touch Pressure (DTP) to your full body.

The recommended weighted blanket weight is 10% of your body weight. For someone who weighs 150 pounds, your best bet is the 15 lb weighted blanket. For someone closer to 200 lbs, we recommend our 20 lb blanket.

If you’re in-between weights, we recommend rounding down to the lower weight option. Our Nappers are available in 10, 15, 20, and 25 lb weight options.

We also carry 5 and 7 lb weighted blankets, the Nappling, designed especially for kids.

Our Nappers are machine washable!

• Wash separately in cold or lukewarm water (max 90 °F)
• Select either the delicate or permanent-press cycle
• Use only gentle or mild detergent
• Avoid using fabric softener
• Tumble dry on low heat – please note it may take more than one round for your Napper to dry completely
• Never hang your Napper up to dry – it’ll stretch!

Make sure to check your washing machine’s weight capacity before washing your Napper. Our delightfully heavy blankets are great for deep sleep, but it’s essential to check beforehand if the washing machine model you have can bear the full weight of your blanket.
