Luxury Weighted Blanket

Good sleep is vital for health, mental clarity, metabolism, and mood. The phrase “get your beauty sleep” is sound advice because our skin regenerates at night. But stress can make restful sleep elusive. Many of us are sleep deprived. So we’re excited about the Corala Weighted Blanket. It eases away stress and enables relaxed sleep.

The luxurious Corala set

Work. School. Deadlines. Family. Health. These can all cause stress. The Corala Weighted Blanket creates a soothing environment and a snugly feel. It uses natural gravity properties to help the brain and body relax and promote restful sleep and better sleep quality.

How Do Weighted Blankets Work?

Weighted blankets use gravity to comfortably swaddle you without feeling trapped or stuffy. This encourages relaxation and sleep. The weight of the blanket works through Deep-Touch Pressure (DTP) stimulation.

Deep-Touch Pressure (DTP) is light, non-painful pressure applied to relax the body. Like how a warm, comforting hug from a loved one feels or how a fussy baby feels calmer once swaddled. The weight of the blanket, when draped over the body, uses DTP for the same hug-like swaddled feeling.

Deep-Touch Pressure helps the body produce a feel-good neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. The release of serotonin within the brain helps to relieve insomnia.

WHY STRESS IMPACTS SLEEP

Research shows that stress makes the sympathetic nervous system work overtime. How can you tell if your sympathetic nervous system is working overtime? Instead of falling asleep, the mind races, worrying about problems or overthinking about the next day’s tasks. This alters circadian rhythms and causes more anxiety. No wonder restful sleep is elusive!

It fits just across the top of my queen bed and doesn’t drape off the sides. This is on purpose so the weight does not pull or feel heavy.

It is quilted with double reinforced stitches and edges for durability. No bead leaks.

The set comes with two seasonal duvets.

SEASONAL DUVETS

The Corala Winter Duvet is made with a minklike fabric that is very soft. It is warm and toasty without being scratchy or stuffy. It is a grey dotted pattern on the top and soft fabric underneath. It is stylish and versatile.

Construction & Materials

The Corala Blanket is 100% cotton fabric filled with a 170gsm 3D hollow fiber blend. It has a 4 by 4-inch diamond pattern. This is both attractive and enables the weighted beads to stay in place instead of shifting around or settling all to one side.

My Corala Weighted Blanket Experience

I’ve been working on an important project deadline. There have been many late nights working at a computer right up until bedtime. I try to go to sleep, but I frequently linger awake, dwelling on my project, making mental notes for the next day’s work. It keeps me awake when I should be asleep. It is the perfect time to try the Corala Weighted Blanket.

First impressions, it is a sleek and slim blanket, not bulky. I find it comfortable against my skin and not at all scratchy. I like the feel of the blanket and both duvets.

Winding down for bed with a cup of tea and my Corala Blanket

It is hug-like! It is cradling and snugly without feeling stifling or claustrophobic. The beads are not at all noisy when the blanket is moved or while turning over. It fits atop a queen bed or for use to keep warm while reading or watching TV on the couch.

I love how quickly it helps me shift gears from working to relaxing. The weight is not too heavy, claustrophobic or at all stifling. I sleep comfortably and wake well-rested.

For Relaxing…

Sometimes we all need an evening off or a mental health break. The blanket is ideal for curling up on the couch, streaming Netflix and indulging in the snack of your choice. I found it restful, relaxing and enjoyable.
