Weighted blankets have been getting a lot of attention lately. They’ve been touted for fixing everything from sleep issues to anxiety, and some say that they emulate the feeling of physical touch. Studies show that weighted blankets can increase the body’s production and melatonin, and reduce cortisol. In other words, weighted blankets can make you less stressed, more rested, and happier.
Bearaby‘s eco-friendly, sustainable, and aesthetic Tree Napper is great for anyone who wants a weighted blanket gorgeous enough to be an accent piece. These hand-knitted blankets come in three gorgeous neutrals, varied enough to match any colour palette: blush-toned Almond, deep teal Rosemary, and rich maroon Pomegranate. The range also boasts three weights, with 15 lb, 20 lb, and 25 lb options. If you’ve used weighted blankets before, you probably already know how much weight you like, but for newcomers, Bearaby recommends that a Napper be “roughly 10% of your body weight.”
Tree Napper is vegan, natural, and 100% biodegradable. There are also no artificial fillers—like the beads used in many other weighted blankets—which makes Tree Napper more sustainable and more comfortable. Under a Tree Napper, the weight will always feel evenly distributed, no matter how much tossing and turning you do.
Each blanket is created completely from all-natural, sustainably sourced materials, including TENCEL Lyocell fabric, which is made of sustainably sourced Eucalyptus and Beachwood fibres. But, don’t let that fool you; these blankets are silky smooth and totally soft. Plus, their looped construction and wood-fibre material ensure that even the hottest sleepers will stay cool all night.
All of Bearaby’s products are also manufactured using closed-loop processes, meaning that all materials used to produce their products can be reused, avoiding unnecessary waste and pollution. Tree Napper’s sustainable production process uses 10 times less water—and produces less waste and emissions—than conventional products of its kind.
If you’re looking for a more traditional blanket fabric (or maybe a different colourway), Bearaby also carries Velvet and Cotton Nappers, made from Eco-velvet and GOTS-certified organic cotton, respectively.
