Gentle Care. Weighted Blankets
A unique line of Gentle Care weighted blankets
Did you know that with age, the regeneration process of the body slows down, the quality of sleep deteriorates, and the ability to thermoregulate becomes impaired? Although time is not always our ally, there are ways to maintain, and even improve, the comfort of your life – especially when you need it the most.
Weighted blankets from the specially developed Gentle Care line were created in response to the needs of people over 65 years of age. Their job is to reduce pain, eliminate sleep disorders, and provide a feeling of relaxation and peace. All this so you can start and end each day with a smile!
From quality to pleasure
The Gentle Care weighted blanket is double-insulated to provide double the amount of warmth without overheating. This is extremely important because our body regulates the temperature cycle differently depending on age – the older we are, the higher the temperature is needed to feel thermal comfort. The weighted blanket insert consists of glass microspheres, the weight of which is adjusted to the user’s weight, and special stitching ensures even weight distribution over the body.
In Gentle Care weighted blankets, the filling has been additionally secured to reduce the sound of moving and pouring microbeads – especially for people who are sensitive to sounds. Each blanket is made with a very nice and soft Minky fabric and velvet, ensuring maximum pleasure every night. The set also includes a pillowcase. The blankets are available in two colour variants.

Scientifically confirmed efficiency
Why do we keep mentioning age-related needs? In the EPESE (Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly) study, 43% of respondents over 65 had difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. On the other hand, research conducted in the USA shows that among 38 million people in this age group, as many as 73% feel sleepy during the day, and 43% suffer from insomnia. These findings are important because, according to scientists, sleep disorders cause a decrease in brain activity by as much as 60%!
The weighting method is a therapeutic technique known for years that uses the stimulation of pressure points on the body. The receptors located in the skin send information to the brain about the safe position of our body in space and time, thus turning off the “systems” of wakefulness. As a result, the cortisol level (a stress hormone) decreases in favour of the increased production of serotonin (happiness hormone). Our body then goes into a state of deep relaxation, thanks to which sleep becomes deeper and more effective, and blood pressure begins to regulate itself.
