Wesomnia weighted blankets are developed by psychologist Ulrika Dehlryd, who has found that draping a blanket with just the right amount of weight around us can mimic physical touch and help improve sleep and reduce stress levels through release of the body’s own oxytocin hormone.
The weighted blankets from Swedish brand Wesomnia are made of a combination of organic lambswool, free from pesticides and other chemicals, and merino wool from sustainably farmed sheep. The blanket, manufactured by Klippan Yllefabrik in the south of Sweden, is filled with local grains of wheat which creates the perfect weight for a warm and cosy sensation.
