The underlying science on weighted blankets is called deep touch pressure (DTP). DTP is about gently applying pressure to the body to increase the release of serotonin.
Using weighted blankets is a drug-free way to increase serotonin (a chemical that regulates sleep) and elicit a calming effect.
While it’s important to get the right amount of sleep, it’s also important to make sure the sleep you get is truly restful and restorative.
One way to improve this is by using a weighted blanket. Sleeping under firm but gentle pressure can help you fall asleep faster, sleep longer and wake feeling more rested.
Older people also tend to experience higher rates of anxiety, stress and depression. It’s often common for the elderly to suffer changes in their sleep-wake cycle.
If you have an older loved one, you may have noticed they tend to stay up very late at night and sleep in short stretches, making them once of the multitude of perfect candidates who can use a weighted blanket to improve their sleeping habits.
The use of weighted blankets on babies and small children under the age of 2 is not recommended.
Care Instructions:
- Do NOT wash in the washing machine
- Do NOT iron or tumble dry
- Spot clean only
- Lay flat to air dry

This blanket is a game-changer! My son is 16 years old, highly sensory and battles with sleep. It has made a difference to his quality of sleep and anxiety associated.
Jasmine –
This weighted blanket has improved my quality of sleep. I would definitely recommend this product.
afrishopsa (store manager) –
Hi Michelle, when it comes to washing the weighted blanket, we recommend spot cleaning only. You can dissolve a mild detergent in warm water and scrub the stain with an old rag or toothbrush.
Hope this helps.

Hi Rita. Yes the 7kg should be just fine for you.

It arrived on just the right time. Cosy and I can’t remember waking up in the night, like I always do! I also use my electrical blanket less. No need anymore to wake in the night to regulate it. I only put it on highest number for a while. Then I switch it off and am okay for the whole night. Hubby is glad for saving electricity! He won’t sleep under it, though. But who cares? Not me, LOL!

My 11 year old grandson managed to sleep through the very first time he used the blanket, it has changed his life and the life of his parents.
He calls his blanket “huggy” because he says it feels as though someone is giving him a huge hug. His anxiety has
disappeared.

I absolutely needed, and am so happy to finally have a weighted blanket. When my nervous system is overloaded the weight is very comforting, and it’s in the safe space of my bedroom. I bought the single size and it fits perfectly inside my 3/4 duvet cover, so it stays clean and is practical for sleeping, and when making the bed.

Service from AfriShop is good. Unfortunately we had to return the product, it didn’t suit us. The blanket is too heavy, my husband feels trapped and it is uncomfortable for me to handle – not sure how older people will manage it, seeing that it is recommended to assist the elderly. My mother wouldn’t have been able to handle this blanket. I’m sure everybody’s experience is different and it could assist other people.
