A study from Halmstad University shows that children using soft Fiber weighted blankets improved their sleep.
They fell asleep faster, woke up fewer times during the night, and developed better sleep routines. The overall well-being among the children also improved, with increased relaxation, reduced anxiety, and increased joy in life.
In summary, parents described the following effects of the fibertyngdtäcket:
Improved sleep continuity and better routines
Parents described that the children had improved sleep continuity and better sleep routines. They slept more calmly, deeply, and continuously, thus getting more hours of night sleep than before using the weighted blanket.
Faster falling asleep
Children fell asleep faster with the weighted blanket. Before using the blanket, several parents reported that their children had difficulty calming down, resting, and falling asleep when lying in bed.
Increased relaxation
Parents also mentioned that the weighted blanket gave a feeling of being touched and embraced, providing calmness, comfort, and relaxation for the children.
Increased well-being and less anxiety
The use of the weighted blanket also improved their children’s well-being, reducing anxiety. The previous fear of not being able to fall asleep or sleep through the night disappeared when using the weighted blanket. Reduced anxiety also allowed children to focus, decrease hyperactivity and stress, contributing to a more stable mood.
