Over the last few years, it seems like everyone has fallen in love with falling asleep under a weighted blanket.
Did you know that nearly half of adults don’t sleep as much, or as well, as they should? Well, it’s true, and that is exactly why the sleep-improvement industry has taken off! And with countless sleep aids and sleep remedies out there, it’s hard to know where to begin — we believe a non-toxic, drug-free remedy is a great place to start, and that’s where The Cuddler comes in.
Editor’s Note: Let’s Cuddle is currently running a promotion — when you buy a weighted blanket, you can add a pair of merino wool socks, and they’ll change from $24 to $0 when you checkout! Pick a blanket color here.
There are plenty of weighted blankets out there, and we’ve tried a ton of ’em, but Let’s Cuddle’s weighted blanket is a hand-knitted, unique twist on the old bead-filled blankets you see in the pharmacy….
These are 5 reasons why everyone is talking about the Cuddler:
1. Science-Backed Sleep Improvement.
The Cuddler (and all weighted blankets) work so well because of something called deep touch pressure, or DTP. Basically, a soothing pressure elevates dopamine and serotonin (the feel-good & relaxing chemicals in the brain) while reducing cortisol (the stress hormone).
DTP is what causes the happy, relaxed feeling that occurs after a long massage, and the weight from The Cuddler provides that feeling all night long! Sleeping with a weighted blanket gives you the feeling of a hug, all-night long. Personally, I stopped waking up around 3-4 am, which I used to do about every night.
2. Colors That Brighten Any Room.
There are many weighted blanket brands, but a common problem with most of them is that they are just plain ugly.
We certainly agree with that statement, and that is why we were so thrilled to see Let’s Cuddle’s wide selection of gorgeous hues. The blanket really looks beautiful under any lighting — bright daylight or evening mood lighting.
There truly is a Cuddler for any couch or bedroom decor! They also come in different sizes and weights, so you can select the Cuddler that is just right for you and your space! They have three sizes with recommended weights per person:
- 10-pound blanket: if your body weight is less than 120 pounds
- 15-pound blanket: if your body weight is between 120 and 159 pounds
- 20-pound blanket: if you’re over 160 pounds
3. Always Evenly Balanced (they don’t use the beads).
Unlike the bead-filled weighted blankets that clump up and require the strength of a bodybuilder to pull from one spot to another, the Cuddler is designed differently.
Let’s Cuddle uses a weighted, blended material that stays evenly distributed. The hand-knit blanket’s pattern ensures that the weight is disbursed across the whole blanket and pressure is applied to your entire body.
4. Perfect Year-Round Temperature.
The chunky-knit pattern makes it perfect for year-round comfort, warm or cold. The hand-knit pattern provides plenty of airflow so it is cooling in the summer but also perfect to use along with your favorite warm socks and hoodie in the winter (this is how I’m currently sitting).
For a limited time, Let’s Cuddle will include a pair of their famous wool socks for free (when you purchase a Cuddler), so you can stay warm under the blanket this winter.
5. Sustainability Woven Throughout.
A lot of brands out there claim to be non-toxic and eco-friendly. But Let’s Cuddle takes it one step further. Not only are all of their products non-toxic, vegan, and cruelty-free, but these blankets also reduce the carbon footprint.
Every Cuddler that Let’s Cuddle makes contains approximately 250 plastic bottles that were removed from the Ocean! You can read more about how they do it here! You can sleep even easier under these blankets, knowing they are doing something to help the planet.
