Frequently asked
questions

Yes. Weighted blankets use deep pressure stimulation (DPS) — the same mechanism as a firm hug — which activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing cortisol and increasing serotonin. Multiple peer-reviewed studies show meaningful reductions in anxiety and improvements in sleep onset time and sleep duration. Our Cooling Weighted Blanket delivers the same therapeutic benefit as brands like Bearaby at a fraction of the cost.

The general guideline is approximately 10% of your body weight. For most adults, a 15 lb weighted blanket is the sweet spot — heavy enough to provide meaningful deep pressure stimulation without feeling restrictive or hot. If you're between weights, go lighter rather than heavier as a starting point.

Side sleepers need products that don't create pressure on their ears or shoulders. Our Sleep Headphone Headband is specifically designed for side sleepers — flat 6mm speakers sit completely flush against the ear with zero protrusion. Pair it with a 3D contour eye mask that has a raised centre so it never touches your eyelids.

More than it sounds. Galaxy projectors create a dim, slowly-moving visual environment that reduces mental stimulation and encourages the brain toward a pre-sleep state. The slow rotation gives racing thoughts something gentle to focus on — a clinically-supported distraction technique. Many customers report falling asleep significantly faster within the first week of use.

Our products are sourced from the same types of manufacturers as those premium brands — without the marketing overhead. Bearaby's weighted blanket is $249; ours is $69. Hatch Restore is $169; our smart lamp is $44. SleepPhones is $100; our headband is $44. Same materials and results, significantly lower prices because you're not paying for their brand campaigns.
