How does a weighted blanket work?

The smart Simba weighted blanket uses engineered nano-bead technology to apply a relaxing pressure to the body while you rest. Emulating the feeling of a calming, comforting full-body hug.

Simba educates us by revealing, 'Deep pressure therapy has shown to help trigger the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS). Studies suggest that this can help soothe you, ease away stress, and cause restlessness to quickly fade. Meaning you get to sleep faster and snooze undisturbed.'

The new Orbit weighted blanket is available two weights 6.8kg and 9kg, both in a single size. The experts recommend 'to experience the optimum benefit of the blanket, choose the blanket that’s 10 per cent or less of your body weight.'

'The Orbit Weighted Blanket is engineered to fit into your sleep routine, so you can finally switch off, get the rest you deserve and focus on what matters.'
