GENERAL QUESTIONS

How do weighted blankets work?

Weighted blankets use Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT), which evenly distributes a gentle weight and pressure on the body to mimic the sensation of being swaddled.

There’s a reason hugs feel like they can work magic.

When you’re feeling anxious, your autonomic nervous system (which regulates your bodily functions like heart rate, respiratory rate and digestion) either sends your body into ‘fight or flight’ (stress) or rest mode..

The application of pressure therapy tells it to go into “rest” mode, reducing some of the symptoms of anxiety like quickened heart rate and breathing.

The evenly applied weight stimulates the production of serotonin (happiness hormone), reduces cortisol (stress hormone) and increases melatonin (sleep hormone).

How are Remy's weighted blankets different from other weighted blankets?

Convential weighted blankets come with some serious flaws. They're primarily made from synthetic materials and filled with plastic pellets or glass beads to weigh the material down. These fillers are noisy and are not evenly distributed. Further, these weighted blankets use an inefficient tying system to keep the weighted duvet attached to it's cover (if it even comes with a cover). Because of this tying system the weight lumps in the corners. Trust us, it's extremely annoying!

Unlike these conventional weighted blanket designs, we use zero artificial fillers or plastic pellets to make our weighted blanket, only layer upon layer of our weighted yarn.

Our hand-knit weighted blankets use 100% cotton fabrics to create a breathable weighted blanket, naturally bringing about better sleep and more calm.

Lastly, another stand-out feature of our weighted blankets is the design. We designed something to look as good as it feels. Because we want you to enjoy better rest all day round, our weighted blankets complement both your bed and couch. With Remy, style meets comfort.

What weight should my weighted blanket be?

We recommend to choose a weighted blanket around 8-12% of your body weight. For someone that weights 60 kilograms we recommend our 6 kg weighted blanket. For someone that weighs 80 kilograms, our 8 kg weight blanket is recommended.

Note, the sizes between our two weights vary too. Since the weight comes from nothing but layers and layers of weight, the heavier weighted blanket is larger in size. Our 6 kg option is 120 x 150 cm, where as the 8 kg option is 120 x 180cm

Where are you based?

Our office is in Amsterdam, Netherlands. We are a Dutch company with employees throughout Europe. We ship all our items from our warehouse located near Dortmund, Germany. Our sister company is based in the United Kingdom.
